Our story
One family, two generations, and a whole lot of diesel.
Brian and his dad, Ronnie, opened R & M Garage on March 1, 2016 — working out of a trailer, driving all over DFW to repair Oncor fleet vehicles. They'd already been turning wrenches together for more than 25 years. Ronnie retired in 2023; Brian and his wife run the shop today.

“Brian and his guys are one of the most fair and friendly people I've met! Great garage to take your truck to. Highly recommend for any service you need. I'm really glad I found these guys and will be a forever customer.”
“Brian and the mechanics at R&M Garage in Pilot Point, TX, did an amazing job fixing my 2015 F250 diesel truck. On my initial phone call with Brian, he took the time to diagnose and explain what might be wrong with my truck.”
“Great group of guys there. Always a pleasure to do business with them.”
Fleet service
We learned this trade keeping fleet trucks on the road.
Before R & M Garage had a shop, it had a trailer. Brian and Ronnie spent those early years traveling all over DFW, repairing Oncor fleet vehicles wherever they were parked. Show up, diagnose it, get it back in service — that's still how we work.

About R & M Garage
Started in a trailer. Still run by the family.
Twenty-five years of working on vehicles together, a phone that kept ringing, and a shop built one honest repair at a time.
R & M Garage started on March 1, 2016 — but the story starts a lot earlier than that. Brian has been working as a mechanic since trade school. He and his dad, Ronnie, worked on vehicles side by side for more than 25 years: weekends, evenings, and any other hours a job happened to take.
When it was time to hang out their own sign, they didn't start with a shop. They started with a trailer. R & M Garage began as a mobile repair business, traveling all over the DFW area to repair Oncor fleet vehicles wherever they sat — parking lots, yards, and job sites.
That work did what good work does: it got talked about. The mobile calls turned into a home shop where folks could bring their own trucks, cars, and SUVs. Ronnie retired in 2023. Today, Brian and his wife run R & M Garage together, carrying on the family tradition.
Brian earned many certificates of achievement and specialty training across all areas of automotive repair along the way, including Ford Master Technician recognition — and he's proud of what he's accomplished. What he's proudest of is simpler: the customers who keep coming back and the ones who send their kids to us.
What we believe
If it's not right, it doesn't leave the bay.
We'll show you the part we took off. We'll tell you when a repair can wait and when it truly can't. And we'll answer the phone when you call back.
Brian knows your truck by name — and he knows what it sounded like last time you were in.
The way we run the shopThe timeline
From a trailer to a shop of our own.
The early years
Two sets of hands, twenty-five years
Brian started turning wrenches in trade school and never stopped. He and his dad Ronnie worked on vehicles side by side for more than 25 years — weekends, evenings, and every chance they got.
March 1, 2016
A trailer, a toolbox, and a phone that rang
Ronnie and Brian opened R & M Garage as a mobile repair business, working out of a trailer and driving all over DFW to keep Oncor fleet vehicles on the road.
The shop years
From the road to a home shop
The mobile work kept growing, and so did the list of folks who wanted somewhere to bring their own trucks. R & M Garage put down roots in a shop of its own.
2023
Ronnie retires
After a lifetime of turning wrenches, Ronnie hung up his tools. His standards are still on the wall and in every job that leaves the bay.

Certifications & training
Factory-level training. Hometown follow-through.
Certificates don't fix trucks — but they mean the person under the hood has been trained the right way, by the people who built it.
The one on the wall
Ford Master Technician
Master Technician recognition is earned through factory training and testing across the full range of Ford systems — engine, driveline, electrical, brakes, climate and diagnostics. It means your truck is in the hands of someone the manufacturer considers a specialist, not a generalist with a scan tool.
The rest of the wall
Many certificates. One standard.
Over the years Brian has earned certificates of achievement and completed specialty training across all areas of automotive repair. They hang in the shop, and he's proud of every one of them.
What that means for you
Trained on the systems in your vehicle.
Ford Master Technician recognition
Factory-level training and testing, earned the long way — one certification at a time.
Certificates of achievement
A wall of them, covering the many areas of automotive repair Brian has trained in over the years.
Specialty training across all repairs
Diesel diagnostics, engine work, brakes, A/C, suspension and steering — not one narrow lane.
25+ years in the bay
Certificates open doors. Twenty-five years of real vehicles is what makes the diagnosis stick.
The certificate wall
Come see it in person.
The framed certificates and the Master Technician award are in the front room. Stop in any time the shop is open.
