Our Story
With nearly four decades of experience in the automotive industry, co-founders Bob Harder and Shelley McConnell Harder bring a wealth of knowledge, dedication, and integrity to Epic Automotive & Driveline. Bob’s hands-on experience, gained through years of running successful shops and learning from both the wins and the challenges, shaped his vision for what an auto business should be: honest, customer-focused, and built on relationships.
That vision became reality when Bob and Shelley launched Epic Automotive, partnering with Mitch Quesnel, a trusted colleague from Bob’s dealership days. Together, they’ve built something exceptional: a modern, welcoming space where customer care and quality work go hand in hand.
A Legacy of Experience. A Vision for Better.
From the moment you walk in the door at Epic, it’s clear this is not your typical auto shop. The bright, spotless reception area and friendly team reflect a deeper commitment to transparency, organization, and trust. It’s a place where both individuals and businesses can feel confident that their vehicles and their time are valued.
Turnaround time matters; we know downtime costs businesses money, so we work hard to deliver fast, efficient service without ever cutting corners. The goal is simple: treat people right, do great work, and earn trust that lasts.
An Epic secret Weapon
At Epic Automotive & Driveline, our strength lies in the people behind the tools. Our experienced team is passionate about vehicles, but even more passionate about earning your trust. From the front counter to the service bay, every team member is committed to delivering honest advice, top-quality repairs, and a great customer experience.
