Exclusive Auto

About

Exclusive Auto started as a buyout of another shop and then a complete rebirth of a small shop located in Uptown Yucaipa, known at the time by its loyal customers as D & W Automotive. D & W had been established originally in 1988 by two partners – Duane and Wayne – thus the D and W.The name Exclusive Auto was the creation of incoming partner, Michael Proud. It was felt that the word "Exclusive" portrayed the true course of where the small auto repair shop was heading. So with a name fueled by feeling and a driven purpose, Exclusive Auto was born on November 1st, 1994. On that date the two new partners, Michael and Rebecca, had bought out the "W" portion of the D&W and teamed up with Duane and Sandie. Exclusive Auto set a steady pace of strong growth over the next eight years using solid business ethics that people seemed to naturally be drawn to. The small shop's parking area just couldn't contain the flow of clients' cars anymore. So Exclusive Auto ramped up and acquired the largest, most well known transmission business and property in the area, known as Joe's Automatic Transmissions. This new expansion of Exclusive took place on June 12th, 2002. Since then Exclusive Auto's success has continued to grow and flourish.
