About Us

Family Business

Catalpa Street Garage was started in the year 1978. Servicing only BMW for a third of its life.  It was started as a family business. Later Mini Cooper vehicles were added to our specialty line of service. The technicians were all BMW and Mini experienced.

Late in the year 2020 the business sold  to Vic Leon. Vic has an extensive resume filled with a variety of training.  He has been a ASE Master Technician since the age of 19. You may see a young girl in the office at times, she is Vic's daughter whom likes to be at the shop helping out. Vic's wife helps run the office. In summer, you may also see two youngsters taking out the trash. These two boy's are Vic's youngest. Vic also employed his brother Isaias Leon, a Certified Mercedes, VW/Audi and Ford Technician. Bringing valuable experience to Catalpa Street Garage. The Newest family member is his Nephew Luis whom is an apprentice with hunger to learn.  You will find Ernesto in the Office (which we feel as part of our family), he is one of our youngest employee's but the one that has been with Catalpa Street Garage the longest. Catalpa Street Garage is all about family and keeping the family feel present.

Catalpa Street Garage will be servicing more Vehicles but we will still be keeping our specialty, BMW and Mini.  We hope that we serve you just as well as the previous owner did if not better. Drop by and meet the new members of Catalpa Street Garage.  We hope to continue being your BMW, Mini and European Preferred Dealer Alternative.
