Cory's love for cars began when he was just a young man, driving a 1970 Torino that required regular repair. Cory joined the US Navy out of high school and gained experience in aviation structural mechanics/hydraulics. He attended Billings City College's Vo-Tech where he graduated with honors obtaining his AA under the tutelage of some great instructors. He worked for many years as a mechanic here in Billings before going out on his own establishing Cory's Auto Repair in 2008. Wife, Cyndi began working the business with him in July 2017 coming from a full-time Recruiter position in Human Resources.
