About Darryl Lowitz
Darryl traveled the world as a child due to his father’s military career and landed in Lancaster, CA for his adolescent years working and riding on dirt bikes and motorcycles for hobby. His love for mechanical tinkering flowed into his high school years where his formal automotive education started. By his early 20’s he was working as an apprentice for a German automotive specialist that quickly developed into lead shop mechanic and shop manager. It was about that time that he met his now wife, Jamie through mutual friends and working in the same industry. The two married in 1987, and by 1993 they were blessed with their daughter, Cortney. By 1997, Darryl and Jamie decided to take a leap of faith and open their own repair facility, Auto House of Clovis, in the heart of Clovis. What started as humble beginnings with one hoist and a dream, has since flourished into a multi-bay facility with 7 full time employees.
