Lone Wolf Garage was established in January 2026 in Lubbock, TX by Neal Olson, after owning and running Timbukthree 4WD & Automotive in Englewood, and Westcliffe, Colorado since 2011. The new business was established to provide an affordable and trustworthy automotive repair option for all makes and models of vehicles, 2010 and older. Auto manufacturers simply no longer make vehicles like they used to, and many people are finding that rebuilding and repurposing older vehicles incites much more of a thrill or sense of satisfaction than simply getting a bank loan on a shiny new toy.
Neal Olson is Lone Wolf Garage's Founder and Master Mechanic. He has an all-around wealth of automotive knowledge. An ASE Certified Master Automobile Technician, he is a graduate of WyoTech in the Automotive Technology program with an emphasis in Chassis Fabrication and High Performance Engines, and has worked for many brands including: Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Honda, Nissan, and Mazda. He has also worked for several independent shops, and was a mechanic in the US Army from 1999 to 2005, which included 2 consecutive combat tours in Iraq. He is originally from Shawano, Wisconsin, where his family has operated a Chrysler dealership, Shawano Auto Sales, since 1957. He has been in the automotive industry his entire life, and got his start sweeping floors and cleaning bathrooms in the family business as a young boy. He moved to Denver after graduating from WyoTech in 2006. The first automobile he ever owned was a sweet 1983 Chrysler LeBaron with red velour interior and a blown head gasket. He fixed up the engine to get it running in what would turn out to be the first engine repair in a long line yet to come!
