About Us
Kaufman's Garage is the continuation of Kaufman Automotive, originally founded by Art Kaufman in 1966. Art’s son, Dennis Kaufman, later took over the business, building a reputation for honest service and expert repairs.
In 2001, Nick joined the Kaufman Automotive team and worked alongside the Kaufmans for over a decade. When Kaufman Automotive closed in 2015, Nick launched Kaufman's Garage, carrying forward the same values and commitment to quality. The shop moved from Manitou Drive, where it had operated for 59 years, to its current location on Bleams Road in Kitchener.
