A Passion That Started with a Bucket and Sponge – Meet Chris Warden

My love for cars kicked off when I was just 16, washing trucks after school and dreaming of building something bigger. That passion led me to Universal Technical Institute in Phoenix, Arizona, where I got hands-on training that really set the foundation for my career.
After graduating, I worked in a family business and later at a New Holland tractor dealer, where I dove into the world of agricultural equipment. Some of the vineyard harvesting machines were seriously complex, but they taught me a ton about electronics and sensor systems. That experience really expanded my skill set.
About 16 years ago, I made the move to Oklahoma. After a short time with a forklift company, I realized I was ready for something more, something of my own. I missed working on trucks, off-road vehicles, and getting my hands dirty with the kind of builds I’ve always loved. So, I took the leap and opened my own shop.
Fast forward to today, I’ve been running this shop for over 10 years, and I still get fired up about what I do. I especially enjoy working with Jeep owners and the off-road community. There’s something amazing about how owning a Jeep can totally change someone’s life, from weekend trail rides to dependable daily driving.
I’m truly excited for what’s ahead. I love helping people get the most out of their vehicles, and I’m committed to giving every customer the best service possible. Whether it’s a custom mod, routine maintenance, or a full-on off-road build, you can count on me and my team to treat your vehicle like it’s our own.
