Our Owner, Rudy Quinones

Rudy’s passion for cars began at his Grandfather’s service station in El Paso, Texas in the 1970’s. Tinkering with cars in high school generated his passion for classic cars of the 1950’s, 1960’s and 1970’s. After years of balancing school and a full time job, Rudy obtained a Bachelor of Science Degree in Mechanical Engineering. This opened a new career path that transitioned him from a Master Mechanic to Facility Engineer for UPS here in San Antonio. Rudy’s love for the automotive environment persuaded him to find the entrepreneur side of himself as owner-operater of Kwik Kar Lube & Tune of San Antonio for ten years before purchasing Renown Auto Restoration in 2013. Getting back to the roots of his automotive passions has not only fulfilled his dreams, but those of every one of his customers.
