Our story
CJL Autoworks began with founder Cody Lewis turning a lifelong passion for mechanical problem-solving into a profession. After years of tinkering on anything with wheels growing up in Montana, Cody served seven years with the Army National Guard and honed his craft at the North Carolina Department of Transportation before building an independent service operation in Florida and North Carolina.
Today we specialize in mobile diagnostics and repair for European vehicles, commercial fleets, and daily drivers that need expert attention without the dealership runaround. Every visit is guided by the same principles Cody lives by as a soldier and technician: preparedness, accountability, and respect.
