1Founders

Every business starts with a vision.  Here are the two who believed that the south bay area was worthy of a respectable independent Subaru shop.  They formed Garage One and have poured their hearts and souls in ever since.

Aaron Kerchner Master Mechanic

Happy father, Avid cook, DJ

Aaron received an early education in cars as he helped his father rebuild a Datsun 240Z engine, joined him for days at the track, and rode along on rally events.  Ever since, Aaron’s interest in cars has been centered on Japanese sports cars.  Datsun/Nissan, Toyota, and Mazda rear-wheel drive cars were his focus until he discovered the STi models in Japan.  Shortly after, he purchased his first new Subaru, a 1998 Impreza 2.5RS, and has since owned more than a dozen Subarus.  Now, Aaron is enjoying track, autocross, and rallycross events himself.

Career-wise, Aaron was not always in the automotive industry.  He has worked mainly in tech fields as an electronics technician, network administrator, mechanical designer, and QA engineer.  Following the dot-com burst, he teamed up with Agnes as a newlywed couple to open Garage One and follow his passion for cars.
