How It All Started
For the Ruiz family, automotive work is more than a profession; it is a legacy built across generations.
The story begins in Mexico with Senior Arturo Ruiz, who owned and operated an auto parts and mechanic shop. There, he passed down not only mechanical skills, but also the values of honesty, dedication, and service to the community. His son, Arturo Ruiz, grew up learning the trade alongside him. As a teenager, Arturo moved to the United States carrying his father’s teachings and a dream of building something of his own. That dream became ARM Automotive LLC. In 2020, Senior Arturo Ruiz faced a life-changing challenge. After a severe case of COVID-19, he lost his eyesight. Although he is now blind, his decades of experience and passion for mechanics remain vital to the shop. When he is with us, his exceptional hearing and deep knowledge enable him to listen to engines, diagnose issues, and guide the team. His presence reminds us that true skill goes beyond sight. The legacy continues with Daniel Ruiz, representing the next generation, bringing modern techniques, technology, and fresh energy while honoring the family’s traditions. And it carries forward into the future with Max Ruiz, the youngest generation and a symbol of what’s to come. ARM Automotive LLC stands as a testament to family, resilience, and passion. Every repair we perform honors the past, serves the present, and builds toward the future driven by pride, care, and commitment to our community.
