Dustin Fizer

Technician

Dustin has over 20 years of experience in the automotive industry and many more before that working on personal vehicles as a kid. His certifications include but are not limited to 5 ASE certifications and Ford Certified in Front End, Electrical, and Under Car.

Dustin lives with his wife Tara for over 20 years, two sons Tanner and Taden, german-shepard Diesel and chihuahua Lola. In his free time, he enjoys anything outdoors on his acreage up in Lawson, working on his personal hot rod, and fishing down in the Ozarks.

When asked the names of his two main cars right now, his '06 Corolla is named "Old Girl" and his '72 Nova is "Side Piece" because "she keeps taking all my money."

Hunter Mason

Technician

Hunter has been working in the industry for over 4 years now and is currently working on his ASE certifications.

Hunter has been with his long-time girlfriend Jami for over 5 years now. He enjoys riding around on his mini-bikes, getting up to shenanigans at the dunes, and catching us flat footed with his dry sense of humor.

When asked what car should have never been produced, he said the PT Cruiser (no offense PT Cruiser owners - he just had to work on 7 in a row one month and he still gets flashbacks)."

Tanner Fizer

Technician

Tanner (Dustin's son) has been working in the automotive industry for over 4 years and obviously many more before that working with his dad on their personal vehicles. He is currently working on his ASE certifications.

Tanner has been with longtime girlfriend Hannah for 4 years. He enjoys working on his multitude of personal vehicles, taking care of his menagerie of animals (at this point of publication, 3 dogs, 4 cats, 3 bunnies, 1 racoon), and attending his little brother's soccer tournaments.

When asked what the sexiest vehicle in existence is, he said the 1969 Camero SS (we think we may have gotten his taste in muscle cars from his dad).

Mathew Perales

Matt has prior experience driving forklifts for Ford and is currently training in house on how to service tires.

Matt moved to Kansas City from California 7 years ago and lives with his wife BJ and son Jameson. He enjoys all things Star Wars, video games, and good quality Mexican food.
