Lyde's experience with the automotive industry started modestly enough - he began pumping gas. He later apprenticed in the automotive union and emerged with another 20 years experience along with his Toyota Master Technician and ASE Master Technician credentials. After a three-year partnership venture, Lyde became sole owner of Olsen's Automotive Repair in 1993. Since then he's increased the client base and improved the Company's reputation by continually working to improve the quality of workmanship and level of service. Cynthia joined Olsen Automotive in 1993 working side by side with her father Lyde. What started out as filling in has become a career and co ownership with her father.
