More than cars
we care for stories

Behind every vehicle, there’s hard work, a dream, and a journey.
At Cartech, we understand it because we live it too.

Cartech Story

From a young age, Julio had an instinctive curiosity for how things work. That drive to observe, experiment, and solve problems shaped his technical training and the philosophy that guides him today.

When he moved to the United States, he worked at AT&T, where his ability to understand systems and support customers quickly led him to the technical department. But the turning point came with something as simple as buying his first car. Like many newcomers, the language barrier and lack of clear information left him facing confusing diagnostics and overpriced repairs. Seeing how often the same thing happened to others in the Latino community pushed him to learn automotive repair in depth not just for himself, but to help those who were being taken advantage of.

Julio went on to study at Montgomery College and the University of Maryland, and later earned ASE certifications with the support of PEP Boys, where his commitment and skill were immediately recognized. His training includes brakes, engine performance, and diesel engines fields in which he continues to stay updated. Throughout the years, he has learned from seasoned technicians with decades of hands-on experience, building a network of mentors and colleagues who reinforced his work ethic and passion for the trade.

This journey gave life to Cartech a shop built on honest work, specialized knowledge, and a genuine commitment to serve the community. Cartech’s purpose is simple: offer clarity, real solutions, and fair pricing, especially for customers who face language barriers or simply don’t know who to trust when something goes wrong with their vehicle.

"At Cartech, we don’t just inspect cars: we provide peace of mind, trust, and the fair treatment we all deserve. My commitment is that every customer leaves knowing their vehicle is in expert hands—but above all, in the hands of someone who understands the reality of those who, like me, once came to this country in search of a better future."

Here, the work goes beyond fixing cars. Cartech provides peace of mind. Every inspection, every explanation, and every repair is done with the same intention that has driven Julio since the beginning: making sure people feel safe, respected, and supported. Cartech is more than a mechanic shop. It’s a place where trust matters just as much as technical quality and where every customer is treated with the transparency and care they deserve.
