Adam Ofstad
Our Story
After years of honing his skills as an automotive and diesel technician, Pro Automotive & Diesel was established in late 2006 by the current owner/operator, Adam Ofstad, in a modest 40 x 60 garage. Adam’s journey into entrepreneurship followed his completion of the fire academy to become a professional Firefighter/Paramedic. Quickly gaining recognition for his diverse repair capabilities, Adam expanded the operation, adding three lifts and welcoming two additional technicians to accommodate the growing demand.
As word of Adam’s expertise spread, so did his vision for what would become today’s P.A.D. facility. In 2013, he secured the land, marking the first step towards realizing his dream. Over the next three years, Adam, alongside his friends and local helpers, meticulously planned and executed the construction process, pouring the footings, laying the slab, and completing the building’s construction and outfitting by 2018. Leveraging his extensive network and reputation, Adam recruited top specialty technicians from across the metro area to join him in establishing a career at the new P.A.D. facility. As construction progressed, Adam and his team wasted no time, starting light truck work on the newly installed alignment racks even before the building’s interior walls were erected.
By early 2019, the team was fully assembled, and Pro Automotive & Diesel officially opened its doors, marking the beginning of a new chapter in automotive excellence.
