Cars have always come naturally to Artomotive's owner, Eric Smith. Like most of us, he was first drawn to their external beauty, yet as he became old enough, a rare understanding and appreciation of the internal mechanics emerged. This passion was nurtured by his father from a young age and sharpened as both an avid hobbyist and a 24-year aftermarket professional. Eric is a member of SEMA, and his work has earned multiple "Best of Show" awards locally.

Eric founded Artomotive to solve what he sees as a great disservice to classic car owners and their vehicles: "Too many shops today are doing subpar repairs on classic vehicles. We owe it to history and the future to maintain our remaining classics with great care, craftsmanship, attention to detail, and a high level of quality."
