Values
TGK Automotive's Values
At TGK Automotive, we want to earn your business by earning your trust. Our priority is providing exceptional service to our clients and this is not possible without the dedication of our team. Troy Kaplan, the founder, has been in the automotive industry since the early 2000s and felt his places of employment would take care of the client or the employee, but never both. Troy believed that clients and staff should be treated with respect and trust, and has since created a family-like atmosphere for both.
