More About 3 Dogs Garage

A gearhead at birth, and a VW one at that, I’ve been around cars my whole life. I took auto shop through high school. Graduated Honda PACT program at Mt. Hood CC in 2009. Worked at two Honda dealers, getting factory certified, before moving to an independent VW shop in Portland, OR. 

Porsche cars were always my goal and I found that opportunity at Marque Motors in Portland. Life took me around the country and I did my time at Porsche Silver Springs and Porsche Atlanta Perimeter.
Back to the west coast, here in Seattle I worked at The Shop Club as a technician, and at track-focused Cantrell Motorsports.

My home base is out of my home garage in Lake City, Seattle. My QuickJack 7000TL portable lift gets cars high enough to do almost any job (including removing sports car engines).

I have enough tools and supplies to do most small-medium jobs mobile. Members of The Shop Club have also had me work on their cars with them there.

The best part of being just me is I am flexible, and I will give your car my full attention.

I wont claim to be able to do everything the big shops can, but I will get close! I will tell you if it’s out of my scope, and find you the best place to go instead. Here are a few services offered, but hesitate to ask if you’re not sure!

• I have a scan tool that will talk to every control module.
• Engine and manual transmission rebuilds
• Pre-Purchase Inspections (starting at $350)
• Routine maintenance 
• Track day prep and upgrades
• Diagnostics
• Suspension repairs/setups
• IMS bearing diagnostics and replacements (prior IMS certified installer)
