Glenn Raith,
Owner and Red Seal Technician & Transmission Specialist

Growing up on a vineyard and having a dad as a builder, I was always helping my dad with projects, either building things or fixing equipment.

In high school, I decided to take an automotive course. With levels one and two finished, my teacher made a level three, so I could continue learning the trade. I was the only one in the class. Post-secondary I completed my machinist apprenticeship, becoming a Red Seal in that trade. I furthered my education and became a certified Red Seal Automotive Service Technician.
 
I was a NAPA AutoCare for years, becoming a NAPA AUTOPRO 7 years ago. I started doing mobile mechanics, travelling to many farms in the Okanagan. In 1992, I decided to open my own shop. I am celebrating 30 years in business this year.
 

Matthew,
Technician

I'm Matt, a journeyman automotive service technician. I have been wrenching professionally since 2007. I grew up in Saskatchewan and moved to Kelowna in 2017.
 
I like hanging out on my boat, working on my truck, camping, and sitting by the fire in my spare time.

 

Walter,
Technician

I've been interested in separating things and putting them together from a young age. This passion carried over to working on my vehicles once I was old enough to drive and eventually getting into the automotive repair industry.
 
Time away from work has me busy with family and our two dogs, Tucker and Cooper. Hobbies take care of the remaining time with skiing in the winter and hiking and flying radio control airplanes in the other seasons.

Dave,
Service Advisor

With over 40 years in the automotive service business, my wife and I decided it was time to move to the beautiful Okanagan and continue our work here. We love everything about Kelowna. As a service advisor at Glenn's Automotive and Transmission, I am passionate about delivering quality automotive services and ensuring customer satisfaction. 

I look forward to serving the Kelowna community with the same excellence that has defined my career.
