Brad Seibold started Brad's Custom Auto in 1989. Before opening his own business, he accumulated over 9 years experience in the auto repair industry.
Since opening his shop, he has gained a reputation for the finest quality modification work in the Puget Sound area. Reports of his shop's work can be found - among other places - in the February 2000 and May 2000 issues of Super Ford magazine, and the May 2001 and July 2003 issues of 5.0 Mustang.
Aside from working at his shop, Brad likes to do some racing as well as restoring vintage cars and motorcycles.
Among the vehicles he owns are:
Scott has over 12 years experience working on cars professionally. He spent one year each at a Porsche/BMW shop and a sports car dealer. He met Brad while working for the dealership, and after earning his Auto Tech degree Scott went to work for him (around '92-'93) as a Mustang Specialist and professional wise guy (there's gotta be one at every shop).
In addition to Mustangs, Scott is also addicted to skiing - snowskiing (24 years + ) and monoskiing (for the last 7 years). He also enjoys working on wooden boats and, when time permits, cruising around the San Juans.
Back on the subject of cars, Scott has a "Heavily Modified" 1980 Mercury Capri RS. "The list of mods is lengthy and the receipt pile is high," says Scott. The car has been completely rebuilt for open road racing.
Brian grew up in a Ford family and naturally took to the blue oval. Since 1985, he has been employed as a Ford service technician.
"My field is mostly driveability but my love is high performance. There is nothing like the satisfaction of improving the performance of a vehicle and doing it to look like (and perform better than) a factory option. It started with one car then grew into a large operation after the word got out in the local high performance Ford community. A coworker and I were the only ones doing it, at least on a dealership level, in the area. I'm only now finding out we were lucky to have a somewhat supportive employer."
Brian owns a Fox body Mustang currently undergoing a conversion to a race car. Mods includes a complete Kenny Brown system using front module and an IRS rear module. Brian also races a Turbo RX-7 owned by our friend Matt Chambers in SCCA competition.

Dane is the Service/Sales Manager at Brad's, and is likely to be the person on the other end of the phone when you call us up. He has over 11 years of experience in sales, promotions, and warehousing.
Dane enjoys Karting, racing Hornet cars (or any other race car he can bum a ride in) at Evergreen Speedway, and spending time with his wife and son. He also has Mustangs of his own: a 1989 LX 5.0 with many mods (click on the link to see the list) and a Mustang Hornet race car.
He can be found daily driving either his 2002 Ford Ranger or his wife's 2003 Focus ZTS.
When Mario is not sweeping floors, he is attending Shoreline Community College and enrolled in Volvo Automotive Technician training. Mario resides in the Edmonds community, where his hobbies include a '78 Project Bronco, hunting geese, hiking, and most anything outdoors. Mario has recently attained Eagle rank in Boy Scouts and still participates in his troop: Unit 325.
