Shop Consulting
Start Your Own DIY Auto Shop.

Meet the Founder
Abraham Barkhordar
Attorney turned weekend mechanic. Abe started GaragePass to get his 1989 Jeep Cherokee XJ running right (still working on it) and built it the right way: proper insurance, liability handling, and safety procedures.
Today GaragePass is a working DIY shop in Oakland with 50+ members and a second location on the way. You get what actually worked, including the mistakes we already paid for.
Calls, the Launch Kit, and consulting are business services, not legal advice, and don’t create an attorney-client relationship. Templates are licensed for one location; have a lawyer where you operate review them. The Legal Add-On is for California businesses only, under a separate written agreement. We don’t take clients opening within 30 miles of our Oakland or San Jose shops. Full terms are shown when you book.
