His success earned him recognition across the industry, and today he helps others tune up their own operations for growth. ABOUT JIMMY ALAURIA Jimmy Alauria, a native of Phoenix, Arizona, was born into the auto repair business started by his father, uncle and grandfather. While he grew up learning the trade, his early ambitions were on the ice.

After seeing the results firsthand, he began helping other shop owners do the same. Today, Jimmy is as dedicated to uplifting his employees and community as he is to strengthening auto repair businesses nationwide by equipping them with the tools and horsepower to keep driving forward.
