BENEDICT RESTORATION & REPAIR INC

Automotive > Motorcycles and Scooters

I am Scott Benedict, president and owner of Benedict restoration and Repair Inc. I moved to San Juan Island in 1978 from the East Bay area in northern California. There I attended vo-tech school and apprenticed in auto repair until age 24 when I moved north. Prior to that in my high school years, I spent six summers in Baja California working as an apprentice mechanic in an evaporative salt mining facility. I was twelve when I started that and seventeen when I finished. I learned all kinds of interesting mechanical techniques for repairing things when you can’t run to the local parts house for what you need. You fix it, find it, or make a new one. Between the end of high school and trade school, I worked in two separate machine shops running lathes, milling machines, welding etc. All good valuable experiences.

Since moving to San Juan Island I have worked as an auto mechanic, with a short stint as a marine diesel mechanic and an auto parts store counter person. I purchased my property in 1979 and built half of the existing shop then. I started repairing things in that building shortly after that. I bought my business license in 1981 and officially went full time in 1986, incorporating in 1995. I think this makes us the oldest shop in the original location on the Island if not just the oldest shop period.
