About Us

History

Founded by Rich and Wendy Christensen in 1998, the first shop that began it all is our South Tahoe location. After a successful few years Rich felt the need to expand to the Carson Valley and opened the Gardnerville location in 2001 and then again in Carson City in 2008. In the year 2012, we opened our Reno location. Shortly after the Reno shop opened Rich’s sons Aaron and Bryan began to take over operations. Aaron joined the business in 2011 after 8 years in the Air Force. Bryan joined the business in 2012 after 11 years in the Army. Aaron and Bryan take the same approach to the business their father instilled in them and look forward to continuing to grow and make Christensen Automotive the leader in automotive repair.
