MEET THE FAMILY BEHIND B & B Foreign Car Repair IN Napa

Born and raised in Upstate New York, Ron Correa taught himself many skills. He was raised in his family’s restaurant business, but loved working as a mechanic on the side, starting with motorcycles, then cars, and then RVs and boats. In 1982, he officially began his automotive career in Newburgh, NY. Ron and his family made the move to Napa, CA in 2000, where he worked as an automotive technician for another 15 years and also earned his ASE Master certification.

Ron had always aspired to own and operate his own auto repair shop, and in November of 2015, he had the opportunity to purchase a local Napa automotive shop that had been in business for over 40 years—you guessed it, B & B Foreign Car Repair. Ron loves working with his three daughters and plans to retire in 5-10 years with more than 40 years of automotive experience himself.

Ron's middle daughter, Cindy, has always aspired to learn more about the automotive industry. She delivered car parts for a local parts supplier in Napa before starting fulltime at B & B in November. Prior to that, Cindy spent seven years caring for her grandmother full-time until she sadly passed from cancer in 2014. It goes without saying that Cindy is kindhearted, and she loves to stay busy. In the not too distant future, she plans on becoming a master technician at our Napa location.

Christina, Ron's eldest daughter, graduated with an associate's degree in Business Accounting from Napa Valley College in 2016. She has been the brains behind getting the business started and keeping Ron in touch with the day-to-day handling of the shop. Christina brings her two fluffy Maltipoos, Mia and Envy to work every day, and she loves Chipotle! (When Christopher's buying lunch, he's often buying Chipotle.)

Sophia started marketing B & B Foreign Car Repair about four hours a week, but Ron knew he would eventually need her full-time to gain new customers and expand the shop. So she left her position as Store Manager at OshKosh and Carters and began working full-time with her family. Sophia often brings her rescue pit bull, Taz, to the shop where he greets each customer.

Nino Mendoza joined the B & B team in July 2020 and has been an incredible asset. Aside from caring for his mother full time, Nino has been working in the automotive industry for over 7 years, beginning his career at a local Nissan and Infiniti dealership. Since joining the B & B family, he has become very fond of working on foreign cars. His passions are growing his knowledge in the automotive industry, skateboarding, hanging with his dog, Jaxon, and enjoying life to the fullest.
