About us

My career in the auto industry began in 1989 in Tempe, AZ. As a single father I enjoyed the flexibility and financial stability that a career in sales afforded me. After gaining the knowledge and experience that 20 years in the business taught me, I opened the doors to my own store in 2009 in Chandler, AZ.
Due to the expansion of the I-10 in 2020, we were forced to vacate our large indoor showroom on the I-10 and 40th Street. After a brief stop on Broadway and 40th Street, I decided to make the move back to the East Valley where I raised my daughter and best friend, Katelynn Joy Lutrin. Katelynn courageously fought a rare form of cancer for two years, losing her battle in 2015 at the young age of 23. I know she is proud seeing I-10 Automotive vehicles driving the city streets throughout the valley!
As a family-owned business we strive for a culture of work-life balance for our employees. Most days you'll find Bronx, Chief Operating Mascot, roaming around the office. This casual culture reflects in our family values, integrity and utmost transparency to our customers; offering no haggling pricing and easy financing terms. Our vehicles are eligible for extended warranties for added protection. I personally choose the highest quality vehicles from the drier climates of the Southwestern United States, specializing in 1 to 2 owners. Our offering includes pre-owned cars, trucks, vans, SUVs, Hybrid and Electric; foreign to domestic. Prior to delivery, we perform a quality inspection on all our vehicles, apply a complete environmental protection, Tri-Shield product, and perform a professional detail on all our vehicles.
