The Powerhouse behind the name.
Meet the face behind the wrench, Jim Evans.
Jim grew up surrounded by an assortment of cars and trucks. Starting from the crib at his grandfather’s busy gas station, he was endlessly fascinated by all of the various vehicles that would come and go throughout the day.
At the young age of 5, he began tinkering alongside his grandfather and father, working on all kinds of vintage vehicles in the bustling Chicagoland area.
During his high school years, he greatly expanded his automotive knowledge by immersing himself in auto shop class, where his dedicated teachers went above and beyond the normal coursework to challenge and inspire him, as Jim already had a solid foundational understanding of mechanics.
Instead of pursuing a traditional college education, he accepted an employment opportunity at a nearby Sears auto center, which kickstarted his professional career in the automotive industry.
Since then, he has been invited to work at a number of prestigious automotive facilities, where he has honed his skills and emerged as a respected industry expert.
