Out of more than 15,000 auto repair shops across North America, only a select few are chosen to be featured in Tekmetric’s Under the Lift documentary series.
We’re incredibly honored that Craftsman Auto Care is one of them.
But this isn’t a story about fixing cars.
It’s the story of a young boy who was told he’d have to work harder than everyone else because of severe ADD and dyslexia… who went on to build one of the nation’s most respected independent auto repair companies.
It’s the story of taking a leap of faith with 13 credit cards, building a business from the ground up alongside his wife, Judy, experiencing incredible success, walking away from it all, and ultimately discovering that purpose is worth more than profit.
It’s also the story of the people behind Craftsman Auto Care—the culture we’ve built, the values we stand for, and why every customer and every employee matters.
More Than an Auto Repair Shop
The Under the Lift episode offers a behind-the-scenes look at Matt Curry’s journey – from childhood challenges and entrepreneurial beginnings to endurance racing, rebuilding after retirement, and creating a company centered on people, purpose, and doing things the right way.
Along the way, you’ll hear stories you’ve probably never heard before, meet the people who helped shape Craftsman Auto Care, and see what drives us every day.
You’ll also discover why Matt often calls his A.D.D. his “nitro fuel,” and how a diagnosis that once seemed like a disadvantage became one of his greatest strengths.
Why This Feature Means So Much
Being selected for Tekmetric’s Under the Lift series is an incredible honor – not because it’s about us, but because it gave us the opportunity to share the values that have guided Craftsman Auto Care from day one.
Honesty. Hard work. Family. Putting people first.
Those values have shaped every decision we’ve made, and they’re the reason we’re all excited to come to work every day.
Watch the Full Story
Whether you’ve been with us since our very first Alexandria location or you’re visiting Craftsman Auto Care for the first time, we hope you’ll take a few minutes to watch the documentary.
We think you’ll walk away with a better understanding of who we are, what we believe, and why we’re passionate about serving our customers and our community.
