Passion and Dedication to Excellence in Auto Paint and Bodywork

With 39 years of experience in the collision industry, Kirk began his journey at his family's auto body shop, LeMans Body & Paint, founded in 1959. He played a pivotal role in expanding the business to multiple locations while forging strong relationships with key insurance carriers. Although the industry presents both challenges and excitement, he places a high value on the connections established with employees and customers. In 2013, Kirk sold the company to explore opportunities in commercial real estate, concentrating on leasing collision facilities.

In 2024, he and his wife settled in Palm Desert, where he recognized the area's vibrant car culture. This realization prompted him to return to the industry, teaming up with lifelong friends to create a top-tier experience for vehicle owners and customers in the Coachella Valley.
