Gayrage Becomes Mobile

Big news: The Gayrage is officially mobile! 🛠️ Just days before opening, I found out I couldn’t legally run my shop from my garage—thanks to a surprise city regulation that popped up right before I got my final certification. So I had to think fast. Over the weekend, I hunted down a van that already had shelves and the perfect spot for my toolbox. And just like that, The Gayrage hit the road.

The funny part? Four years ago, I tried to turn a shuttle bus into a tiny home and mobile shop. I had a whole business plan written up—“Nomadic Mechanic” and everything. But the bus was a bust because it had too much rust. I thought that dream died with the frame, but I guess it just needed to evolve. I may not be working out of a bus, but I am out here bringing inclusive, honest car care directly to driveways around Portland. Sometimes dreams come back on four wheels. 🚐🌈
