Owner / Operator / Technician / Fabricator
Aaron Garcia
Aaron got his start in the automotive industry in 2007 at Perfectionist Auto Sound, where he spent years learning the trade, attending numerous Mobile Solutions trainings along the way, and building the experience that eventually led him to open Southside Auto Boutique.
His specialties include sales, client interaction, clean wiring, and fabrication. Aaron enjoys everything from installing a simple remote start or radio to building full-blown custom trunk installations. He’s always enjoyed the challenge of taking an idea and turning it into something unique.
His passion for customizing vehicles started at a young age. At 16, he stumbled across the Daytona Beach Spring Break Nationals by accident, and that experience sparked a love for the car customization world that never went away.
Over the years, Aaron has been recognized by Mobile Electronics Magazine as one of the Top 12 Installers in North America twice and one of the Top 50 three times.
Outside the shop, Aaron is a family man, husband, and dad of five. His favorite thing to do is travel, spend time with his family, and experience new things. He’s also into movies, Chevy trucks, loud bass, and finding a good deal whenever he can.
After years in the industry, Aaron decided it was time to build something of his own—and Southside Auto Boutique was born.
