Michael Aplanalp

​Michael's passion for cars started while growing up with a father and older brothers who would spend time fixing and modifying their cars in the garage at home. When Michael got his license and first car he began to work on it himself, and this is where it all started. The bond between man and machine as well as the successful and fulfilling emotions he had after changing the engine, suspension and interior of his first car began the journey he is on now and the rest is history. Michael has worked on many vehicles from all the European manufacturers. Through his years as a technician he developed his mechanical and electronics knowledge into being a ASE master certified mechanic and licensed locksmith. When presented with the opportunity to carry on the MV Automotive name and continue giving its clients the automotive repair quality they knew and deserved, he knew it was his time to excel under a new role.

Kamrin Aplanalp

​Kamrin has always loved European cars and always had an interest in them, when she began dating Michael in 2018 he got her more into cars by buying her an Audi that needed work. Michael then put his workmanship into transforming a standard Audi A4 into a refined daily driver with cosmetic and performance upgrades. Kamrin has always been Michaels sidekick when it came to working on cars and gaining knowledge from them as well. Kamrin started in the office as a receptionist during the Toro's tenure and learned quickly after they bought the business how to run the business behind the scenes, all while being a face behind the front counter and striving for her clients happiness in MV Automotives repairs to their vehicles.
​
Michael and Kamrin continually strive to be a place that provides skilled technicians and office staff who provide excellent service and repairs to European vehicles in Auburn, CA and surrounding areas.

​Lindsey Delgado

Lindsey Delgado started at MV Automotive in February 2022. She began her employment journey as the Receptionist. She quickly moved up to parts manager by May of the same year. After about a year in that position she was promoted to our shop's Service Advisor. She is very proud to be sitting in the position she is currently in and has worked very hard to earn it. In her free time she enjoys four wheeling her Jeep all over the beautiful state of California. She always has it loaded up for camping and exploring. Lindsey and her dog Bella, get to experience some beautiful places most people don't have the opportunity to get to. Her favorite places to visit are the black sand beaches of shelter cove towards Oregon, and the mountains of Plumas County where she lived for roughly 2 years before the million acre Dixie Fire brought her back to her home town of Georgetown. Lindsey's goals for this next year are to get into a cozy home she can call her own with some acreage suited for chickens, goats and any other furry creature that crosses her path, and to advance in her career as a service advisor to better serve the customers and further the shop's potential. 
Lindsey hopes to see you soon, but not too soon here at MV Automotive, and can't wait to help you in any way she can.
