Our Story

Laffman Hot Rod Garage was born from a lifelong passion for American muscle cars. Owner Chris Lafferty has over 30 years of experience working in automotive and engineering, and his wife, Mary, handles marketing and operations. Together, they are dedicated to providing quality automotive repair and restoration services at reasonable prices.

Chris grew up with a passion for big engines, horsepower, and head-turning hot rods. He worked in various body and mechanic shops as a kid and after high school earned a degree in bodywork. During this time, he restored a 1967 Galaxy that belonged to his parents. His dreams of owning his own hot rod and restoring and maintaining hot rods for others came to fruition in 2014 when he opened Laffman Hot Rod Garage.
