Extreme Auto Repair LLC is a family owned and operated shop, and the people behind the counter and in the bays are part of what makes the business trusted by local drivers. Our team is here to provide honest communication, dependable repair work, and a customer experience built around respect and reliability.
Meet Gerad.
Gerad is one of the owners of Extreme Auto Repair and the driving force behind much of what happens at the shop.
After graduating from Grangeville High School, he attended Lewis-Clark State College to study automotive mechanics. Although he explored a few different career paths along the way, he found his calling in the automotive industry and has been working full-time since 1994. Many locals remember Gerad from his early days at Nuxoll Shell in Cottonwood. When Don decided to sell the business, Gerad took the opportunity to continue serving the community by purchasing the old Forest Service (USFS) building in Grangeville—where Extreme Auto Repair is located today.
What started as a modest shop has grown far beyond what he ever imagined. Gerad is especially proud that the business has expanded into a place that provides quality automotive service while creating jobs and supporting local families throughout our community.
When he's not at the shop, you'll find him enjoying just about anything outdoors, anything with an engine, or taking a scenic drives with his wife.

She enjoys being the "Mom Boss" of the shop, supporting both her family and the amazing team they have built together.
When she's away from the office, Ang loves boating, fishing, traveling, sightseeing, and spending time with her four beloved cats. A passionate animal lover, she is dedicated to supporting local animal rescue organizations and regularly donates to rescue efforts throughout the area.
