Building an Empire: AmeriFix and EuroFix
Aaron Stokes, founder of AmeriFix and EuroFix, built his automotive repair empire from humble beginnings. In 1999, after a car accident left him stranded in North Carolina, Aaron’s mechanical skills were put to the test. With limited resources, he worked side jobs to buy parts and spent six months fixing his damaged Saab. This hands-on experience ignited Aaron’s passion for car repair and pushed him to open his first shop. What started as “The Saab Shop” in a small one-car garage in Franklin, Tennessee, soon became EuroFix, a trusted name in European auto repair. Aaron also launched AmeriFix, offering a wide range of auto services beyond European models. Both companies quickly earned a loyal customer base, thanks to Aaron’s dedication to quality and customer service.
Expanding the Vision: Mike’s Automotive, Brown’s Body Shop, and More
Aaron didn’t stop at AmeriFix and EuroFix. His commitment to providing comprehensive auto services led him to acquire other businesses, including Mike’s Automotive and Brown’s Body Shop, further solidifying his reputation in the Middle Tennessee auto repair industry. By expanding into collision repair and general auto services, Aaron ensured his companies could meet virtually any customer need.
But Aaron’s ambitions didn’t end there. With his deep industry knowledge, he founded Sales Fix, Tech Fix, and Shop Fix, all designed to help other auto repair businesses succeed. These ventures offer coaching, technology solutions, and sales strategies tailored to the auto repair industry, enabling shop owners across the country to improve their operations.
Treating Customers Like Family
Throughout the growth of his businesses, Aaron has always prioritized treating customers like family. Whether you visit AmeriFix, EuroFix, Mike’s Automotive, or Brown’s Body Shop, Aaron’s philosophy is clear: honest, high-quality service at a fair price. His approach has earned him the trust of thousands of customers and expanded his business from a one-car garage to multiple successful locations across Tennessee.
Giving Back: Aaron’s Personal Mission
Aaron’s passion for community extends beyond his businesses. He spent over six years as a youth pastor, and his faith continues to guide him in giving back to the communities he serves. Through his work at Shop Fix and his auto repair shops, Aaron mentors other business owners and encourages them to build their own success stories.
The Road Ahead
Today, Aaron Stokes leads a network of thriving companies, including AmeriFix, EuroFix, Mike’s Automotive, Brown’s Body Shop, Sales Fix, Tech Fix, and Shop Fix. He lives in Franklin, Tennessee, with his wife and four children and still finds time to enjoy his hobbies.
