Jim Oppelt

Jim is one of our machinists, as well as one of the newer members of our team. However, his status does not mean he has little experience - he has been working on cars for over 55 years. As a teen, he apprenticed at a local Volkswagen dealer while still living in New Zealand. When not at the shop, Jim enjoys working on cars, spending time with his wife, daughters, and dogs, and visiting his family in New Zealand.
