Meet Your Team

Gene Bostic
Gene Bostic, 38, is a mechanic who was born with grease in his veins. His father owned several auto repair shops in Long Island, New York. Gene grew up working on cars after school, beginning at age 9, and began building his own engines at the age of 13 (a '69 Camaro). Since then, he has built and rebuilt hundreds of engines and has competed as a race car builder and driver. His attention to detail, and need for perfection makes him ideal for any mechanical work. He treats every car like it was his own, and his demands for quality show in every car he works on.

Don Maurice
Don Maurice Jr., 35, is the thinking man's mechanic. He and Gene grew up together in Long Island and have been friends for 30 years. Don will amaze you with his knowledge of various car's mechanical issues. Don has joined us recently (after much begging from the owner, who was duly impressed when Don visited Gene one day). He has worked at a variety of dealerships and is one of those guys that take home shop manuals to read, just to learn not only to fix a particular problem.

Adrian Mungiu

Adrian Mungiu, 40, is the owner/manager of Corvette Specialists, Inc. His background is in paint and body repair. After finishing at The American University in Washington, D.C. in 1989, he decided to remain in the Northern Virginia, having been raised in Philadelphia, working for a non-profit think tank in Rosslyn, VA. After a year he realized that he preferred working with his hands as well as his mind and decided to look for a new career. To save up money for a car, he took a second job at a car wash which led to him managing the detailing department within two months. From this he became a car painter and worked as a car painter from 1991-2004. Two months before Gig's passing, Gig asked him to paint a corvette for a customer. After Gig's passing, Georgia asked Adrian to repair and paint several cars that were at the shop before Gig passed away. Adrian purchased the company on Nov. 1, 2004. He was awarded the "Volunteer of the Year" award in 1999 by the National Kidney Foundation of Washington, D.C. and participates in other charities such as "National Rebuilding Day" (formerly "Christmas in April"). He believes very strongly in private charitable giving of time and money for improving the quality of life of others. His other hobbies include boating, competitive Chili Cooking, photography, and gardening. More proof that opposites attract-- his better half, Karen, owns a new Volvo and an old Beetle. No one's life is perfect, right?
