We had the good fortune of connecting with Kevin Torres and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Kevin, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
The thought process behind starting my own business was being able to give myself the chance to live the best life I can for myself and my family.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I am a mechanic my trade and have always enjoyed with my hands. I went to school got into the work force right away and started working my way up earning certifications and learning more and more about cars and the changing technology. I always enjoyed the work and made good money but I also love cooking and always knew I wanted to run my own business. When my wife and I finally found something we can do and start that we can call ours we took the first step and never looked back. It hasn’t been easy but we have been learning and getting better over time.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Right away I find some good seats and take them to an Astros game. The energy is great and always a great time to go. With so much good food and places to go around the stadium going to downtown and catching a game can be a great all day affair. On an easy calmer day I love going to Buffalo bayou park and sitting my the water or in the big field taking in the Houston skyline. There’s so many great places to eat in Houston with Taste of Texas being one of my top spots to take a visiting friend

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
The person who has been with me and supported me since day one has been my wife. She has been the back bone of the business and always supportive and helpful in all aspects of our business
