Our Team
At AutoFR, we take pride in having a dedicated, passionate, and highly professional team. Each member brings their unique skills, creating an environment where trust, technical knowledge, and team spirit are the foundation of everything we do.
Ivan – Founder and Automotive Electronics Specialist
Ivan is the heart and soul of our workshop. Founder and team leader, he brought with him vast experience and dedication that transformed AutoFR into what it is today. Before diving into the automotive world, he worked as a security guard for several years, developing leadership and attention-to-detail skills that he applies daily in his work.
Passionate about motocross, he won several competitions that demonstrate his determination and competitive spirit. Today, he is the specialist responsible for the automotive electronics area, ensuring your vehicle is always in top technological condition.
Whether in the workshop or outside of it, Ivan is a true example of professionalism and passion for what he does!
Vanessa – Office and Customer Service Manager
Vanessa is the smiling face that welcomes AutoFR's clients. With contagious friendliness and impeccable organization, she’s the one who keeps everything in order, from customer service to invoicing figures.
Passionate about hot pink and all things sparkly, she says a bit of glitter never hurt anyone… not even the workshop! If she could, she’d probably paint the workbench in glitter to match her unmistakable style.
With Vanessa, every customer feels special and well taken care of, while the office runs so smoothly it almost seems like magic (or maybe just a lot of hard work and talent).
Vicente – The Revision Master
Vicente is that colleague who brings a relaxed vibe to the workshop. Often arriving in the morning still half-asleep and with messy hair, don’t let his laid-back appearance fool you – he’s a true master at what he does.
A specialist in revisions, Vicente ensures that every vehicle that passes through his hands leaves ready to hit the road with safety and top performance. Whether checking filters, oil levels, or other details, his focus and attention to detail are unmatched.
With a practical and efficient approach, he’s the right choice for anyone seeking quality service. Plus, Vicente’s good humor keeps the workshop atmosphere light and motivating.
Rui – Mercedes Specialist and Problem Solver
Rui is the latest addition to our workshop but has already proven to be an indispensable member of the team. With solid experience in Mercedes vehicles, he brought deep knowledge and a practical vision that make all the difference day to day.
A specialist in identifying and solving even the most complex problems, Rui is the kind of professional who sees every challenge as an opportunity to showcase his talent. Whether dealing with mechanical or electronic issues, his meticulous and efficient approach delivers results that exceed expectations.
Beyond his technical expertise, Rui contributes a positive and collaborative attitude, enriching the team spirit of the workshop. For our clients, he’s a symbol of trust and service excellence.
Pedro – The Workshop’s Conversationalist
Pedro is one of those mechanics who never lets silence take over the atmosphere. Communicative and full of energy, he turns every repair into an opportunity to exchange a few words and share stories. For many customers, a visit to AutoFR is even more enjoyable thanks to his relaxed and cheerful way of being.
But don’t be fooled: between one conversation and another, Pedro shows exemplary professionalism. Whether working on general mechanics or helping the team with daily tasks, he ensures that every service is carried out with quality and attention to detail. With him, work flows naturally, and the workshop environment becomes lighter and more welcoming.
