Matt Allen - Bumper to Bumper Radio Show Host

Owner: Virginia Auto Service/Import Car Specialists
ASE Certified Technician, Accredited Automotive Manager
Matt is the host of our weekly Bumper to Bumper Radio Show. He started working on cars when he was 16 years old. He enjoyed it so much that he began to dream about owning his own shop someday.
Matt’s opportunity came up when he happened upon the building where Virginia Auto Service is currently located. The shop was boarded up and in major disrepair. To anyone else, it looked like a disaster, but to Matt, it looked like his dream.
A little determination and a lot of elbow grease enabled Matt to open Virginia Auto Service in 1995. He was only 24 years old.
From the beginning, Matt’s philosophy was to “Do the right thing, and do it with the highest quality.” It’s because of that philosophy that Virginia Auto Service has been able to weather the many challenges that presented themselves. From down economies, to a fire that almost destroyed the entire business, Virginia Auto Service has made it through the hardest of times.
We go on the air every week to get this message out. You owe it to yourself and to everyone else on the road to keep your car in great shape. Your safety and your well being depend on it. There is a lot you can do by yourself. That is much of what we talk about on our show. But as soon as you know you are stepping outside of your comfort zone - find a qualified mechanic. You will need to get educated, and be prepared to trust an expert when you find one.
