Popular Mechanix

Andy Gescheidt and Ed Wolf decided to join forces and specialize in Volvos. They became partners, named their new business Popular Mechanix and established Popular Mechanix in 1983 in the space on 14th Street it still occupies today almost 20 years later. Andy became full owner of Popular Mechanix in 1992. One of Andy's first customers Peter Nagai-Rothe helped Andy start Popular Mechanix through its predecessor Million Mile with a $500 loan as working capital. Nagai-Rothe has since owned five Volvos and remains a loyal customer of Popular Mechanix to this day!
