Started at the cone course. Grew into a dynasty.
It began in 2004 — one car, one helmet, one weekend at a time. Autocross first, chasing cones on parking lots across Florida. Every level, every class, every event we could enter.
The shop followed in 2005, founded out of necessity: once you start racing seriously, you either learn to wrench on your own cars or you go broke paying someone else to. We learned. Dynasty Automotive grew from that.
"The shop exists because we race — not the other way around. That's the difference."
Wheel-to-wheel since 2008.
Four years of autocross was a foundation. In 2008, we moved into wheel-to-wheel road racing — and started climbing. SCCA. NASA. Club. Regional. Divisional. Different platforms for different challenges: Scion FR-S, Honda S2000, BMW. Every class taught us something different about setup, reliability, and how to get the most out of a chassis.
Championships came — multiple, across Club, Regional, and Divisional racing under both SCCA and NASA. In 2013, we won our first national title: NASA Time Trial National Champion. Four years later, in 2017, the team took the SCCA Club Racing National Championship — the premier amateur road racing title in North America.
Along the way, we picked up Stage Rally. RallyX. Hill Climb. If it's a legitimate motorsport discipline with a sanctioning body and a timing sheet, we've raced it. And we're still racing it today — now campaigning a Ferrari 488 Challenge Evo in GT3-class competition.
Why this matters for your car.
Most shops tell you they "love cars." There's a difference between loving cars and campaigning a championship program for two decades. When you put a vehicle on a circuit at 130mph and trail-brake it into a corner, lap after lap, season after season, you learn things you can't learn in a workshop.
You learn what fails under load. You learn what wears, what holds, what's overbuilt and what's marginal. You learn which parts are worth the upgrade and which ones the marketing got ahead of the engineering.
That knowledge transfers. When we service a 5-Series, an RX350, an A4 Audi, or a daily Acura — we're applying lessons learned at the national-championship level. That's why our work lasts longer. That's why our customers come back for twenty years.
What we believe.
We believe luxury car owners are tired of being treated like a number at the dealer. We believe transparent pricing should be standard. We believe a good shop tells you what your car doesn't need, not just what it does.
We believe real race-team expertise applied to street cars is what separates a real shop from a parts swapper. And we believe in the customers who've kept us in business for two decades — by trusting us with their daily drivers, their weekend cars, and their race builds.
