The Salem Boys Auto story is a testament to family, hard work, and dedication to service. Mark and Ranae, high school sweethearts, embarked on their entrepreneurial journey in 1979 when they opened a gas station just outside Tempe's southwest borders after leaving their jobs in law enforcement and banking. This move marked the beginning of their path into the automotive industry, which would evolve over the years into the successful family-run business they operate today.

After the gas station was dismantled in 1987, Mark and Ranae opened Salem Boys Auto in 1988, a state-of-the-art six-bay garage that quickly grew in reputation. Mark also began hosting auto repair radio shows that year, further expanding their influence in the community. In 1994, the family opened a 20-bay repair shop known for its cutting-edge design, environmental strategy, and impeccable functionality—winning numerous awards.

By the late 2000s, their children, Alan and Andi, became involved in running the shop. Alan also opened Salem Performance, specializing in diesel repair, fleet services, aftermarket modifications, and performance parts, catering to car and truck enthusiasts alike.

Salem Boys Auto prides itself on being family-owned, focusing on honesty, integrity, and a commitment to fixing vehicles the right way the first time. Their customer service approach is centered on clear communication, low-pressure advice, and the philosophy of always asking, "What would you recommend if this was your mother’s vehicle?"

The Salem family is grateful for the support of their customers and has proudly served the Tempe area since 1979.
