WELCOME to The Auto Refinery

Meet the Founder – Brooks Jorgensen

Welcome to The Auto Refinery — where craftsmanship meets automotive artistry.

I’m Brooks Jorgensen, Founder & Owner. With over two decades of experience in the automotive industry, I’ve dedicated my career to perfecting the fine art of vehicle refinement. What began as a career in mechanical repair evolved into a true passion for restoration — not just of function, but of flawless form.

My journey led me through the luxury world of Mercedes-Benz, where I immersed myself in high-level detailing, paint correction, and preservation. It was there that I discovered the difference between cleaning a car — and elevating it.

At The Auto Refinery, we specialize in paint correction, ceramic coatings, and long-term vehicle preservation for discerning clients who expect nothing less than perfection. Whether you're restoring a classic, enhancing a luxury vehicle, or protecting a modern exotic, our mission is simple: deliver unmatched quality with meticulous precision.

Much like a bespoke tailor or fine watchmaker, we approach every vehicle with reverence, craftsmanship, and the expertise that only comes from years of specialized dedication.

This studio is more than a business — it’s the fulfillment of a vision: to create a space where vehicles are not just detailed, but refined to their highest potential.

We are licensed & insured full service shop.
