Tyler Thrasher, owner and mastermind behind Thrasher Motorsports started working on vehicles over 10 years ago. He began pursuing this industry professionally and building a solid clientele about 5 years ago. Thrasher Motorsports is located right in downtown Seneca across from Time Drive In.

When asked where Tyler learned his motor-skills from, He mentioned being surrounded by Family that maintained their own vehicles growing up. Most of all, his skills came from within – He states that a lot of what he knows is self-taught. He worked at Toyota as a Mechanic, a few years back, and learned a lot of the business side of things. Tyler started out as a Lube-Tech, but the dealership allowed him to grow, because he was able to hit top hours in the shop after only 2-3 months of working there. At that time, he didn’t even own a real toolbox! Now he owns his own business and has plans to have his very own shop one day. Funny to look back at where we began only to see that we are on an incredible journey to where we want to be, am I right?

Behind every story there is a love story to be told, so I couldn't leave it out in this one. Tyler met his wife, Madison in 2016, and married her within a year, because he knew she was his forever girl. Together they have two children, a sweet pup, and a beautiful home with gorgeous mountain views. Tyler values family and he values his customers like they are his family too. I know, because the folks in my house feel like that every time we encounter Tyler at Thrasher Motorsports. Tyler loves to talk about his wife and kids, which I think says it all!

What does Tyler live by as a mechanic? He said, “I try to live by the principle of, ‘Do your Customer right, versus trying to take every dollar that you can.’” 

As a consumer of Tyler’s services - My Husband and I have always had a top notch, high quality experience. Even when Tyler can’t get us in on the exact date we would like him to, he always does his best to accommodate our needs. Tyler wants to offer a new service – a full array of services with a smile, where the customer truly comes first – not just a business slogan. He said, “When I mess up, that’s on me. I am going to be up front with my customers. I am going to take care of it, and if I can’t do something, I’m going to be up front about it."

Tyler offers a warranty on his work. When he says he offers a warranty, he means he offers a workmanship warranty – if the parts fail and Tyler provided those parts, He will cover the repair of the parts - 100%. To me, that’s super noble, especially because sometimes technology fails, right?

For example, Tyler replaced a head gasket on a Chevrolet - four cylinder – he said about two weeks later his customer was experiencing a coolant leak. When you purchase a new head gasket the machine shop you purchase it from provides a service to check the cylinder head before purchasing. Tyler had an invoice from when the machine shop evaluated it, but unfortunately missed the crack that caused the coolant leak. Because the issue was on the shops end, they covered the cost of a new part, but Tyler didn’t receive compensation for having to re-do the labor a second time. It wasn’t a mistake on Tyler’s end, but he ensured it was corrected. At the end of the day, Tyler values his customer’s happiness, because he wants to put out good business into the world. 

Needless to say, Thrasher Motorsports is a Family owned business with strong values. In my home, we take both of our Vehicles to Tyler for EVERYTHING. It is important to find a loyal mechanic to work on your cars and trucks these days. I find it imperative to go to someone you trust, because you or your loved ones are driving around in the vehicle that mechanic has worked on. We find Tyler at Thrasher Motorsports to be honest, hardworking, and reasonably priced.
