Three Generations • Alumni Owned & Operated • Since 1978
Honest Mechanics.
Bryan Born. Brazos Valley Raised.
Kolton Kubin is the third generation of his family to run this shop on South College Avenue. His grandparents Frankie and Emma Kubin opened the doors in 1978, his dad Kent carried it through the 90s, and Kolton runs it today. Since 1978, the Kubins have kept Bryan, College Station, campus-area drivers, and the whole Brazos Valley moving with one rule: fix what needs fixing, charge a fair price, never oversell.
Alumni Owned & Operated
Three generations of Kubins have called Bryan home. Frankie and Emma Kubin opened the doors on South College Avenue in 1978. Their son Kent carried the shop through the 90s. Today their grandson Kolton runs it. When you bring your car to us, you are not handing your keys to a national chain. You are working with a family that lives here, roots for the same teams, and sees you again at the grocery store.

Three Generations of Mechanics. One Honest Shop.
Kolton Kubin is the third generation of his family to turn wrenches at this shop on South College Avenue. Since 1978, when Frankie and Emma Kubin opened the doors, the family has built a reputation on one simple principle: tell customers exactly what their car needs and nothing more. Kent Kubin carried that standard through the second generation. Kolton runs it now.
That reputation is earned one honest repair at a time. It is why customers who first brought their vehicles here decades ago now bring their children's vehicles. It is why word-of-mouth has always been our best advertisement.
