Our History
Our journey began when Arch and Carol Brooks founded the business in 1941. With a passion for cars and a desire to serve the community, they worked tirelessly to establish Arch's Automotive Service & Smog as a trusted name in the industry. Over the years, the business has been passed down through generations, with Arch's son Wally Brooks taking over the reins in 1976. In 2004, Wally retired, and Kevin Maltese, who had been with the company for over 30 years, took over as the new owner. In addition, Brendan Brooks, Arch's grandson, joined the business, bringing a fresh perspective and a love for the industry.
