MEET THE TEAM

Fernando Padua Antunez/ owner

After working as a cook for about 10 years, Fernando took the biggest step in his career by quitting his restaurant gig and dedicating himself to the work he loves. Starting in a small shop and getting work from family and friends, he was determined to grow a business that his whole family could be passionate about.

ERNESTO PADUA

Auto Body Technician

Brother to Fernando, Ernesto (Neto) joined the shop full-time after working as a cook since his arrival to America. His knowledge and practicality is what has made him the skilled technician he is today. Neto also juggles a soccer club, DPSAL, while staying devoted to the draining work that auto body brings.

ALEJANDRO ALQUICIRA

Auto Body Technician

Alejandro, aka "Gordo", has been long-term friend of Fernando's since their childhood in Mexico. He started out not knowing anything about auto body and only working part-time. Now a full-time skilled technician, Gordo brings charisma and dedication to the shop.

FERNANDO PADUA III

Office Assistant

Starting the job in the summer of 2022, right before going into his freshman year of college at North Central College, Fernando took on this responsibility to help his father, Fernando Antunez, around the shop. Using his basic technology skills, Fernando is dedicated to introducing the shop to a more digital format.
