Hello
Hi, I'm Derek Johnson. I've been a highly skilled automotive technician for nearly 20 years, holding both ASE Master and Toyota Master certifications. My journey began in 2005 at a Toyota dealership in Rhode Island, followed by positions at dealerships in Missouri and now here in Lincoln. Each experience presented unique challenges and rewarding opportunities, contributing significantly to my professional growth and development.
My Story
I have enjoyed working on cars since before I could drive, helping Dad work on vehicles in the
driveway. This has been a great skill that I have enjoyed growing and developing to not only help my
family with their vehicles, but ultimately help the community. I had an opportunity to be a part of a
group of guys that would donate time to help the less fortunate people with car repairs for their vehicles
they needed to be able to get back and forth from work. Seeing the impact that this had on those
people was humbling and an eye-opening experience.
After this experience, it raised my awareness of wanting to help people who needed help. I
started sharing my knowledge with friends to help fix their vehicles. As more people reached out
needing help with car repairs, I started to think that operating my own repair shop could be possible.
After many family discussions, and lots of praying on God’s path for me, I decided to start Gracious Auto
Repair LLC.
With Gracious Auto Repair, I hope to be able to bring affordable, honorable, and transparent car
repair to the community, letting customers know the condition of their vehicles while getting the best
possible prices. There will be a wide range of services offered including basic maintenance such as oil
changes and tire rotations. Each service will include a full vehicle inspection, checking fluids, brakes,
belts, hoses, etc.
God has graced me with a gift, that I hope to make a difference in other peoples lives (and
wallet). I hope to get an opportunity to help with your automotive needs.
