Our Story
Automotions was founded in June of 2025 by husband and wife team, Andy and Kertina, who shared a vision: to create a local auto repair shop where people feel comfortable, respected, and confident in the service they receive.
Andy’s passion for working on cars started at a young age—taking things apart just to see how they worked, and putting them back together even better. That drive led him to college, where he earned certifications in the automotive industry and spent 15 years working for the State of Minnesota in fleet maintenance. His brother, Eric, also shared the same passion and attended college alongside Andy. Today, Eric works with us in the shop, bringing years of experience and the same dedication to quality.
Before launching Automotions, Kertina successfully ran her own in-home daycare, bringing a strong sense of care, communication, and community to everything she does. Together, we wanted to build something lasting—something rooted in family values and genuine care for people and their vehicles.
We’re proud to be a family-owned and operated shop, and that truly means something here. Our two young daughters can often be found around the shop, already growing up in the world of cars and turning wrenches. As a family, we love spending time outdoors and going to car shows with our classic vehicles.
At Automotions, we know your vehicle is a major investment—and our goal is to help you get the most out of it. We focus on clear communication, expert service, and no pressure—just real solutions from people who care.
We’re here to build long-term relationships with our customers and our community. When you walk into Automotions, you’re not just bringing in your car—you’re becoming part of our story.
