Joey Heggem — Owner & Founder
Torque Auto LLC
Meet Joey Heggem — Owner and Founder of Torque Auto.
Joey started Torque Auto to give customers a more convenient, honest, and straightforward way to handle vehicle repairs and maintenance. He spent years working service drives at dealerships across Southern California — BMW, Lexus, Ford, Toyota — and gained hands-on experience with a wide range of vehicles.
He understands how frustrating it can be to rearrange your schedule, tow a vehicle, or sit in a waiting room just to get dependable service. Torque Auto brings professional automotive care directly to your home or workplace. Joey's goal is simple: clearly explain what your vehicle needs, recommend only the work that makes sense, and complete every job with the same care he would expect for his own family's vehicles.
Torque Auto is locally owned and built around quality workmanship, clear communication, and treating people fairly.

The Torque Auto difference
You're not a number
When you call, you reach the owner, not a service writer or a call center. Your questions get answered by someone who actually understands the repair.
No shop markup
Traditional shops mark up parts 30 to 50%. We charge fair market price on parts and let our work speak for itself.
Your time matters
We show up on time, work efficiently, and get you back on the road — without you losing half a day sitting in a waiting room.
Honest diagnosis first
If your vehicle doesn't need a repair, we'll tell you. Building long-term trust matters more than a one-time upsell.
