About Us!

Welcome to The Full Octane Garage!

The Full Octane Garage was founded by Curt Curtiss a long time car guy who has had a passion for anything with an engine since he was 8 years old. By the time he was 13 yeas he developed an interest in cars and trucks. His first project was a 1959 MGA and the passion continues today. Curt’s current rides include two vintage Corvette’s, two antique hotrod trucks and three Classic Auburn cars from the early 1930’s. He shares his passion for cars with his wife Debby (who claims to own all of his cars) 🙂

In April of 2016 James Smith joined the Full Octane Garage as a partner. Curt and James quickly found they share a common vision for the future of The Full Octane Garage so they joined forces. James is also a long time car guy having had many cars through the years but his current passion is for Jaguar’s and exotics.

Both Curt and James enjoy anything with an engine and burns Octane thus the Full Octane Garage experience was born.
