Serving Clifton, Franklin, Hawthorne & Newton, NJ, plus Lodi opening soon
KRP Automotive Repair started in a driveway with three friends, a handful of tools, and a passion for doing right by people. Today we serve drivers across northern New Jersey, with four open shops and Lodi opening soon, and we are still the same honest, hard-working shop at heart.
KRP Automotive Repair began its journey in 2019, born out of a passion for cars and a commitment to service. It all started in Dylan’s mom’s driveway, with a handful of tools, a lot of ambition, and three other jobs to help make ends meet.
Dylan, along with his high school friends Nick Macierowski and Michael Delaney, turned that hobby into a thriving business. When COVID-19 struck, the trio focused on helping their community keep their vehicles on the road, and that trust is what carried KRP from a small warehouse to the multi-location shop it is today.
Every KRP location was built on the same foundation of honesty and hard work. Here’s how we got here.
In 2019, KRP began in Dylan’s mom’s driveway with a handful of tools, a real passion for cars, and three other jobs to make ends meet.
Dylan and his high school friends Nick and Mike rented a small warehouse, at first just to work on their own cars.
When COVID-19 hit, the trio focused on helping neighbors keep their vehicles running. That word-of-mouth trust changed everything.
What began as a side hustle grew into a real shop with a real team, built on honesty, hard work, and treating customers like family.
Today KRP Automotive Repair serves drivers across northern New Jersey from four open shops, with a lifetime warranty on most repairs. KRP Lodi is opening soon.
Three high school friends who turned a shared passion into a business, and still lead it with the same hands-on, family-first approach.
It started in his mom’s driveway. Dylan turned a passion for cars, and a lot of long nights, into KRP Automotive Repair.
A high school friend who shared the vision from day one, Nick helped turn a side hustle into a real, trusted shop.
Mike rounded out the founding trio, bringing the same hard-working, do-it-right values that still define KRP today.
