    • The best fix-it shop guys in the West

    Alan Cowan:
    Alan has been servicing European cars since he was in college in the midEuropean car mechanic seventies.  He is the Service Manager at Falconworks and makes sure your wants and needs are expicitly adhered to.  For problem-solving, beautiful æsthetics (like the Aston Martin photo on the right), and for tuning he's the best there is.

    Bill Collins:Land Rover and Jaguar mechanic
    Bill is our repair shop's other old-timer.  Originally trained as a Ford Factory tech in the mid-seventies, he began his English car experience at Rovers West 20 years ago.  He was driving a TR7 at the time (hahaha). He is very thorough and careful: never will even a washer go missing.
    Matt Terpening:Alfa Romeo tech
    Matt learned the trade here at Falconworks as an apprentice.  His attention to detail, cosmetics included, make his work some of the most sought-after at the shop.  He has about five years' experience now, and still has an open mind to learning.  He is very caring in his work.
    Stephen Jordan:Lotus repair specialist
    Stephen also learned the trade as an apprentice to Alan and Bill here at Falconworks.  He's been immersed in the world of the Whitworth for over seven years now, and is one of the few with the patience to snake-in a right hand Alfa engine mount without a single swear.
    Polly Parry:the best Customer Service in auto repair
    Polly is reception and the front-office staff for you, and excellent support for the mechanics.  She has been with Falconworks a couple years, and has already learned a great deal about esoteric world of classic, collector and vintage car repair.

    As a team we bring the machinist, mechanic, metallurgist, engineer, parts specialist and management together to fix each thing right. As a team we bring all of Tucson the highest standard of repair at the most inexpensive rates. But please, don't come to us looking for for a cheaper product ... just a better value.
