Bob Johnson, Owner

Being Steve's son means there is a rich history of automotive repair that Bob can draw from. Starting at the young age of 8, Bob grew up in this thriving small business that prided itself upon excellence, integrity and relationships. With that foundation as an integral part of his life and his family being very involved in their home church, Bob chose to follow God's calling in his life to pursue full-time ministry. He has received a B.A. in Preaching and in Youth Ministry, and then was accepted into graduate school where he completed his M. Div. degree. After 15 fulfilling years of full-time ministry, Bob has come home with his family to Oregon ("God's Country"). Now, alongside of his father, the future looks exciting for Steve's Automotive. Bob has three children.
