Founder

Gus Kidonakis

Founder, Gus Kidonakis, has over 40 years of experience in the auto industry. His passion for auto engineering fuels his desire to restore and maintain classic and exotic cars. From a small village on the island of Crete, Gus was first introduced to car mechanics at 12 years old through a technical school program at his local orthodox monastery.

He prefers the older cars of the 70s, 80s, and 90s, which he says have superior engineering in a mechanical sense. Gus always says older cars respect the craft of engineering more than the cars of today.
