Curt Morgan
Curt started Shadow Mountain Auto Service in 2008, with the motto "Character Counts" with the intention of founding the most ethical, customer oriented automotive repair facility in the valley. Curt is a crusader for honesty and ethical conduct in the industry. He is most proud, not of the technical achievements in his business, but of the relationships built with people through the business.
Curt will tell you that, after 20 years, he has the best marriage of anybody he knows. He has lived with Cindy in the same house for almost 20 years, and has put up with one or more big, slobbery dogs for all that time just to keep Cindy happy. Or so he says.
In more than 30 years of working on cars and being in the automotive business Curt has amassed an impressive resume in many different areas. Curt is double Master ASE certified with advanced level certifications in both automotive and diesel applications, something only a very small percentage (less than 1%) achieve. He is one of the first technicians in Arizona to achieve the advanced level engine performance certification nearly twenty years ago.
Curt can often be heard on the radio doing the Bumper to Bumper show on KTAR or the Auto Repair Arizona on KFNX show. Curt teaches college level courses in many automotive subjects, including advanced drivability and electrical classes. Curt has been an active member of the NATEF educational standards advisory committee at Glendale Community College and is the current serving Chairman of that committee. Curt has been a member of the Better Business Bureau since starting his business and was invited to join the Automotive Repair Advisory Council of the BBB in 2012, being elected Chairman of the council for 2015-2017.
Cindy Morgan
Owner of Shadow Mountain Auto Service and Curt's wife. Cars and animals have always been her passion so owning an automotive business was a dream she and Curt talked about for years. Prior to coming to the shop full time in 2011, Cindy managed an animal hospital for 10 years and before that worked for 11 years in marketing and advertising at Channel 3. As Curt mentioned, they have been in the same house for many years where they raised their two daughters"¦ now they have a South African Boerboel named "Diesel" who keeps them entertained and being over 180 pounds you can't miss him. When not at the shop, Cindy enjoys trips to the dunes to ride her quad and on the weekends it's a mix of NASCAR, UFC and the NFL GO CARDINALS!!
