Meet Glen Hoisington — the heart behind Coastal Car Care. 🌊

Long before Coastal Car Care became a trusted name in San Marcos, Glen was a young boy in Alaska with a passion for engines, hard work, and figuring things out.

One day, his parents presented him with a challenge involving a dead 1969 Toyota Corona. That moment would become the beginning of a journey that eventually led to Coastal Car Care.

👉 Curious what happened next? Read Glen's full story:
https://coastalcarcare.com/glen-hoisington-1

More than 45 years later, Glen's impact reaches far beyond the vehicles in the shop.

Together, Glen and Michele have built more than a business. They've built a reputation rooted in honesty, integrity, craftsmanship, and genuine care for people. They've created a place where customers feel respected, employees feel valued, and family comes first.

That's what legacy looks like.

As we celebrate Father's Month, we'd like to recognize Glen and all the fathers who lead by example, serve their families and communities, and understand that true success isn't measured by what you achieve—it's measured by the people you inspire along the way. 💙

Not every day you get to work on a piece of American history.

A classic like this 1957 Bel Air reminds us why we love what we do. Every detail matters. Every repair helps keep another piece of automotive history on the road for another generation to enjoy.

And whether it's a classic car or a daily driver, our approach stays the same:
Take care of it like it matters. Because it does.
