Our Staff

Hi I’m Steve Summers, I’m the founder and Co-Owner along with Tom Langford of Automotive Instincts, I opened the Northridge location in 1987. It was a very easy decision for me to choose the auto repair profession because I have loved working on cars my whole life.

When I started Automotive Instincts I wanted to have a shop that was known for fair prices, honesty, integrity and doing the right thing always, I wanted to treat people like I would want to be treated if I was on the other side of the counter, and it’s worked out we are known for award winning customer service.

When I am not working I am a devoted family man, I love spending time with my family, I also like going golfing and riding motorcycles.
