Our Story
In 2019, a vision became a reality when Jahaziel Garfias founded Checkered Automotive Solutions. Jahaziel brought his unwavering passion for off-road vehicles to life. He honed his skills and expertise through years of dedication, working at high-performance shops, and mastering the art of crafting off-road wonders. Since our inception, Jahaziel has overseen the transformation of over 100 vehicles, each a testament to his commitment to excellence. His meticulous attention to detail and drive to push the boundaries of off-road capabilities have made him a distinguished off-road expert in the Chula Vista area.
At the heart of our operation is a tight-knit team, with Jahaziel's brother, Fernando, standing shoulder to shoulder as another off-road enthusiast and expert. Together, they form a dynamic duo that brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the shop. Fernando's passion for off-road trucks is equally matched, and his partnership with Jahaziel ensures that our customers benefit from not just one, but two dedicated experts in the field. With a shared commitment to quality, innovation, and customer satisfaction, the Garfias brothers have built our shop into a premier destination for off-road enthusiasts. This is our story—a story of family, passion, and a relentless pursuit of off-road excellence.
