What we do

Here at Big 3 we are are many things, from a one-stop restoration shop, to a "Speed Shop"that does high performance upgrades, tuning and custom fabrication. We are also ASE certified and very comfortable with working on a wide variety of cars of all makes and models, including cars that many shops can't handle or would rather not deal with.

Owner and Lead Mechanic/Fabricator

Aaron Stauber

ASE Certified Master Technician

The driving force behind Big 3, Aaron is skilled and experienced in nearly every aspect of automotive performance and restoration. After years of working in high-end shops, Aaron decided it was time venture out on his own and was presented with the opportunity to buy Big 3 Performance in 2011 and take the business in a new direction. Aaron strives to provide results that customers will brag about and give them the proper service that they pay for.
While Aaron is a muscle car guy at heart, he is equally comfortable restoring a 32 Ford, tuning a turbo import, rebuilding a Ferrari V12, building a custom set of twin turbo headers or setting up a nitrous system on a big block chevy.

Body and Assembly

Josh Vandenack

Josh joins the team and brings a lot of hands-on experience in both mechanics and body work. When he approached us to "try out" for a position it didn't take him long to fit right in. The son of a mechanic, he is a life long gearhead who started working on cars with his dad at the age of 5 and has gone on to do complete builds of cars, trucks (both mud running and pulling) and bikes. Josh is an excellent body technician and painter and has converted several Mustang coupes into fastback and painted many truck and bikes as well. He is currently working on a 70 Mustang street/strip with a 514 big block and is very well versed in Fords and American Muscle in general.

Jason began helping around the shop on a part-time basis, and a short amount of time has proven himself to be a great addition to the team. His electrical and mechanical experience make him a valuable assembler.
