Meet the 1A Auto Family
Richard
Before becoming president of 1A Auto in 1999, Richard Green was a trained aerospace engineer. He uses the quality-assurance techniques he learned from aerospace to oversee the consistent quality of 1A Auto's parts. This results in the highest quality ratings and lowest returns rate in the industry. For more than 50 years, the Green family has been installing and using the same high-quality auto parts that you'll find on our website.
Mike
Mike is a car enthusiast and co-founder of 1A Auto. He has created hundreds of instructional videos that can be seen on our website or YouTube to help customers install auto parts. Mike completed his first auto-restoration project at 14, a 1964 Pontiac GTO. Look for Mike at New England Dragway running the 'Tired Indian' 1966 GTO or on a nice day driving with his wife and two daughters in their '66 Pontiac Ventura. Mike is a family oriented person who enjoys tinkering with any engine-driven vehicle - whether it flies, drives or floats! He also enjoys that 1A Auto helps thousands of people solve their transportation problems.

Jeremy's custom work with fiberglass and metal fabrication has set him on fire more than once, but has not doused his passion to know everything there is to know about cars.
Bob
Bob has worked at 1A Auto since 2002 and has been working on cars since he was seven, when his dad let him help repair stock cars and motorcycles. As a teenager, Bob got his first car, a 1967 Pontiac GTO that he restored to showroom condition. Bob obtained his BS in Mechanical Engineering at UMASS Amherst, and his education, in addition to salvage yard experience, over 20 years with interchange systems and 39 years of extensive hands on experience, makes him an expert in the field for fits and determining quality of parts. As a Senior Product Specialist at 1A Auto, his skills make him unmatched in his ability to provide the highest quality parts for our customers. While not at work, Bob likes to spend his time restoring his 1969 Ram Air IV GTO Judge.
