Meet the owners
Claudio & Alecia — Family in the Trade
Claudio has been in the automotive industry for over 20 years, with a huge range of technical experience as an auto electrician and mechanic.
He started his auto electrical apprenticeship at LJ Auto in Johnsonville, where he grew his love for all things automotive. A familiar face in the area — he grew up and worked in Newlands, Johnsonville and Tawa.
Alecia keeps the business running smoothly, and the workshop is a true family affair — right down to the kids in Auto Centre Johnsonville hoodies. When Claudio's not on the tools, you'll find him coaching at Tawa Football Club, walking his Frenchie, at the gym, hunting, or tinkering on his 1962 Chevy Impala.
