I started Global Automotive as a way of giving back to a community I’ve been a part of my entire life. I built an auto body shop in Lorton from the ground up, and retired in 2016 after selling the business. Then one day, my mother-in-law had a bad experience at an auto repair shop. They wanted to charge her at premium rates for procedures that weren’t necessary, and I guess they figured she had nowhere else to turn. So, I decided to create a place that would help people avoid being put in that situation.
