Our Story
Built Different
We're not a dealership. We're not a chain. We're a small shop run by people who genuinely love cars — and it shows in every job we take on.
A Lifetime in the Garage
Clutch Kick Garage was founded by Tyler Whitman — a 21-year-old ASE-certified mechanic who didn't learn his trade in a classroom. He learned it the way most great mechanics do: by getting his hands dirty. Growing up, Tyler was always in the garage, pulling apart anything with an engine and figuring out how to make it better, faster, or just work again.
That hands-on obsession turned into a full-blown passion, and eventually a business built on a simple promise: honest work, fair prices, and zero corporate nonsense. When you bring your car to Clutch Kick Garage, you're not a ticket number — you're a neighbor, and your vehicle gets treated like it matters.
And yes — we have two Tylers. Our second mechanic, also named Tyler, brings the same level of dedication and skill to every job. Double the Tylers, double the expertise.
The Team
Tyler Whitman
Owner & Lead Technician
ASE-certified and wrenching since before he could drive. Tyler founded Clutch Kick Garage on the belief that great auto work shouldn't cost a fortune or come with a side of corporate runaround.
Tyler
Mechanic
Funny enough, also named Tyler. Same passion, same commitment to quality work. Between the two of them, there's not much they haven't seen under a hood.
What We Stand For
Honest Pricing
No upsells, no mystery fees. We tell you what your car needs, what it costs, and why — before we touch a thing.
ASE Certified
Both of our technicians hold ASE certifications, so you can trust that your vehicle is in qualified, experienced hands every time.
Personal Service
You'll be greeted with a friendly face, not a waiting room number. Small shop means your car gets full attention — not a rushed bay rotation.
Quality First
Low prices don't mean cutting corners. We source quality parts and take the time to do the job right the first time.
