In 1976, prior to starting Auto-Tec/Shadley Bros. Mark rented out a small garage where he and Paul would spend their nights building custom bikes. On May 1, 1981 Mark and Paul officially opened Auto Tec for automotive repair and auto body repair. Mark and Paul were constantly building and repairing motorcycles for themselves and customers so they decided to open a motorcycle diving to the business.
Dean Shadley grew up working at the shop with his father Mark and uncle Paul. After getting his high school and college degrees Dean is back working full time with aspirations of taking over in the future. Dean mainly spends his time in the motorcycle division of the business but is also involved in the towing and automotive aspect of the job.
After 20 years of business, a new custom building was constructed in 2001 to fit all the needs of the growing business. The new building includes an automotive repair area, auto body shop with a state of the art zero emissions paint booth, comprehensive motorcycle service division complete with a store, repair and fabrication section, and dyno room.
The Shadley’s continue to advance in the motorcycle and automobile industry. Working day to day to create and repair motorcycles and cars. They strive to ensure that the final product is something the customer will be thrilled about.
