Hi!
I’m Randal – Auto Mechanic & Shop Owner
Running a shop in Wasilla isn’t easy — but it’s worth it. I’m proud to offer auto repair services that help people keep their cars on the road longer, for less money, and with more peace of mind. From oil changes to engine work, I’m here to make sure every customer gets honest answers, quality repairs, and the kind of service I’d want for my own family.
My story
I got my first dirt bike when I was 13 years old. Like most kids, I was just excited to ride — until it broke. I didn’t know much about engines, but I knew I wasn’t ready to give up. So I took it apart, boxed up the motor, and sent it out of state to be repaired.
My neighbor saw that bike sitting in pieces and told my parents, “It’s a shame you spent all that money. He’s never going to ride it again.”
But within a week after the motor returned, that bike was out and back on the trails.
That experience lit a fire in me. I’ve always had a knack for machines and fixing things — not just to make them work, but to make them better. I took auto shop classes in high school, spent years working hands-on in real garages, and eventually made my dream a reality by opening Peak Automotive right here in Wasilla.
Now, I get to help other people stay on the road — saving them money, stress, and downtime. Whether it’s a simple oil change or a full diagnostic, I’m proud to offer the kind of reliable, honest auto repair Wasilla drivers deserve.

Fast-forward about a decade — my friend and I decided to move from Colorado to Alaska on a whim. We rented a house, found jobs, and started building a new life. I ended up working for a roofing company. I liked the physical work and the fresh air… but when it was 15 below and my hands were freezing, I knew I needed something more stable — and less weather-dependent.
That’s when I enrolled in the GM ASEP program at UAA, and before long, I earned an Associate of Applied Science in Automotive Technology.
Over the next several years, I worked at multiple dealerships doing hands-on auto repair. Then I transitioned to an independent shop, where I had the chance to work on just about every make and model you can imagine. It’s where I really sharpened my skills.
Eventually, I came full circle — teaching the GM ASEP program at UAA. I also completed the Mopar Cap local program, which is one of the best technical training options for automotive professionals in Alaska. Teaching and learning through these programs gave me the foundation I needed to eventually open my own shop — where I could do things the right way.
