The Person

geo1frey

Good Dreams Garage started with a name. A reminder of my mom, who I'd ask every night what good dreams to dream about. That name deserved something real built around it.

I've been in the automotive world long enough to know what parts are worth it and which ones aren't. After years working at UroTuning — selling, learning, building — I bought their shop car. Now I'm documenting every mile of it here.

Florida based. VW obsessed. Clean low fast.
