Tell us about your company and how it came together.
Having previously operated a successful shop in Atlanta, I relocated to Fort Worth with a fresh vision.
What makes you unique or different from other organizations?
What sets AutoPro DFW apart is our comprehensive expertise and commitment to in-house service. Unlike many shops that outsource or rely on external help, we handle all aspects of our services internally. This ensures rigorous quality control and a seamless experience for our clients. With experience in all areas, we deliver exceptional results across the board, making us your trusted choice for automotive needs. We are also family owned and always treat our customers’ cars like our own. A testament to this is our 150 five-star reviews on Google.
What is the biggest lesson you’ve learned since starting your own business?
The biggest lesson we’ve learned since starting our business is Texans’ unwavering support for local businesses. Texans grasp the essence of entrepreneurship and foster a culture of friendliness, openness and relationship-building. It’s a testament to the strength of community bonds and the enduring spirit of Texas hospitality. This is why we wake up every day and continue to serve Texas customers the best we can.
What’s your favorite part of what you do?
My favorite aspect of our work is undoubtedly the satisfaction of our clients. There’s nothing quite like the joy of making someone happy with our services. What truly sets us apart is our dedication to follow-up, ensuring our clients remain content long after our initial interaction. Building lasting relationships and ensuring ongoing satisfaction is the cornerstone of our approach and the key to a lasting business.
How did you fund your company?
Our company’s foundation was built on the savings accumulated from our previous shop before our relocation to Texas. This initial investment allowed us to establish ourselves in a new market and continue our mission of providing exceptional automotive services to our valued clients.
Anything else you’d like to share or mention?
We are thrilled to announce that our company is experiencing steady and healthy growth. In 2025, we will be scaling up to a larger shop to introduce a new service to our valued clients. At our core, we prioritize staying ahead of industry trends and continuously updating our offerings. Soon, we will unveil an innovative solution that allows you to change your vehicle’s color while providing unparalleled protection. What sets us apart is our commitment to delivering cutting-edge services that prioritize both quality and the preservation of your vehicle’s integrity.
