A message from the Owner and President of Auto Lab, Yony Turcios

Hello! I'm Yony Turcios, the proud new President and Owner of Auto Lab. My journey in the automotive world began in 2005, and since joining Auto Lab on August 8th, 2022, I've been dedicated to carrying forward our legacy of exceptional customer service and expert vehicle care.

As an ASE-Certified Automotive Technician, I've always had a deep love for cars. By the age of 24, I was already leading as a technician and later as a shop foreman, thanks to my technical skills and knack for customer service. My dedication to the field eventually led me to service writing, where I could apply my customer service expertise directly.

When I first met Kevin, the founder of Auto Lab, I was excited by the opportunity to be part of a team that is so dedicated to exceptional customer service and an honest approach. From the beginning, I was impressed by all of Auto Lab’s loyal clients - many of whom have second and third generations of family members choosing our shop. When Kevin decided it was time to retire, I was confident I could lead Auto Lab into the future.

As we head into our 30th year in business, my goal is to maintain Auto Lab’s ethos– ensuring that every customer leaves our shop not just satisfied, but fully reassured that their vehicle has been expertly and affordably repaired. I'm committed to upholding a customer-focused and transparent approach to auto repair and service.

Some fun facts about me: 

When I'm not at Auto Lab, I love spending quality time with my daughter and fiancée, diving into the latest automotive magazines, riding ATVs, or enjoying the thrill of the 1/4 mile race track. My dream car would be a Porsche or Lamborghini, but I also hold a special place for the 1990-1995 Toyota Pick-Up as the best car ever made. If I could choose a superpower, it would be to change people's mindsets for a more peaceful world, and if I could go on a dream vacation, it would be to one day visit Jerusalem with my grandfather.

A message from our Founder

Kevin Riddick
Auto Lab Founder

When I was just 13 years old I was putting engines into cars in my parents’ garage. I had a natural aptitude for mechanical systems and, after high school, I went to work as an auto technician, learning how to repair and service cars professionally.

After six years as a technician, I bought a Snap-on franchise and began to save for my own auto repair shop while selling professional-grade tools to other technicians.

In 1994, I opened Auto Lab at its current location on Milwaukee Avenue in Libertyville, and the company grew steadily through the years, growing it into what it’s recognized as in the community today. 

When I decided it was time to retire, I was so fortunate to meet Yony. Not only did he have the ambition to become a business owner, but he also shared my philosophy of repairing a vehicle right the first time and doing so in a way that is cost-effective for our clients.

As I move on to my next adventure, I am 100 percent confident you’ll continue to receive the exceptional customer care that has kept our shop growing and busy for nearly 30 years. 

Sincerely,
Kevin Riddick
Founder
