Brake Masters® was founded in June 1983 by brothers Eric and Shalom Laytin in Tucson, Arizona. Eric and Shalom were born and raised in Jerusalem. After
serving their country in the Army, the brothers immigrated to the United States by way of Los Angeles. After visiting a friend in Tucson shortly after
coming to the United States, Eric decided to move there. His brother Shalom followed shortly thereafter. Eric had always enjoyed working on cars
and fixing things, while Shalom enjoyed sales and helping customers. |

From Humble Beginnings Eric and Shalom leased and opened
the first Brake Masters® store at the corner of Grant and
Columbus in Tucson with less than $3,500 dollars. With a
philosophy towards honest service recommendations, a strong
commitment to customer satisfaction, fast service and low
prices, Brake Masters® was a huge success. Loyal customers
would refer others and the business rapidly grew. Within two
years the brothers expanded to a second location. With the
success of their two stores, the brothers set their sights on
future growth and expansion.

The American Dream As Eric still puts it to this day "The
harder you work the luckier you get." For Eric and
Shalom they will tell you that "America is the greatest
country. Where else can you work hard and realize such
success?" With hard work and determination, Brake
Masters® has flourished and now operates nearly 100
locations throughout Arizona, California, Colorado,
Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, and Texas. In 1994
Brake Masters® began franchising their business model
to others. |
