RICKY GARCIATECHNICIAN/ESTIMATOR
Ricky Garcia started his auto body career in June of 2015. He is the youngest technician, but has gained a great deal of experience during his first year of employment. Ricky is an expert in dis-assembling and re-assembling vehicles. It comes natural to him. Before working with Texas Lonestar Collision, he worked at power plants working on windmill turbines. While there, he gained experience with machinery mechanics, which is useful knowledge for working with vehicles. As the owner of a 2007 yellow corvette, Ricky (like his father, Mario) has a love of cars and trucks and uses that passion to carefully put the finishing touches to the vehicles at the shop. Ricky is also one of our estimators and he will carefully review the damages of any vehicle to give our customer's a fair and honest estimate.

Today Gary's workmanship is like no other. He takes pride in his work and ensures everything is precise and to manufacturer's specifications. Gary is family oriented and his favorite pass time is spending time with his three boys. He like the the outdoors and has a great sense of humor. |
