Mike Reelfs
Owner and master technician, Mike has been fixing things since he was a kid. One of his first jobs as a mechanic was for Vintage Racing, a specialty auto repair shop where he worked on Ferraris, Lotuses and Lamborghinis. Mike worked at several auto shops in the area before coming to Helming’s Auto Repair in 1990. When Bob Helming announced his retirement in 2001, he offered Mike and his wife, Leane, the opportunity to purchase the business. Their commitment to continue to operate the business with excellence, honesty and integrity is one of the reasons they are so highly rated by many websites, including Consumer Reports and Click and Clack the Car Guys.
Mike is an ASE Certified Master Technician and has his smog check license. Some of Mike’s most recent technical training includes Enhanced OBD II, Hybrid Generic Service, Honda/Acura Engine Performance, Enhanced Scan Data Analysis, and Emissions Theory & Diagnosis. When Mike isn’t at the repair shop, he enjoys home improvement projects, wakeboarding, waterskiing, and serves as President of Mountain View Little League.
Mike and his family live in the Monta Loma neighborhood in Mountain View, CA.
