About CJ’s Garage

CJ: Lead ATV / UTV and Small Engine Mechanic

My nickname is CJ and I am the owner of CJ’S Garage. My wife, three kids, and I have been Ham Lake residents for the past 9 years. My first big repair job came when I was 15 years old and purchased a non-running Datsun 280ZX and spent the next 6 months getting it ready for my 16th Birthday. I went to college in Mankato and double majored in Mechanical Engineering and Automotive Engineering while working at a local automotive repair shop. After graduation I worked as a Mechanical Engineer in the Twin Cities for 10 years before I pursued my passion for Powersports. I founded CJ’S Garage in 2015 and moved the business to the current location in January of 2020.
