Matt’s passion is cars …. and has been since he was a little guy. He has always had a eye for mechanical things, great attention to detail and loads of patience. He would take things apart around the house and put them back together. He has had many Subaru’s that he has built from the ground up and more recently is working on classic Datsun’s. He enjoys restoring these cars; he recently finished a 1979 Datsun 620 and is currently working on a 1970 Datsun 510. We are excited to have Matt join our team!
