Dave Stark opened Critical Car Care in 1988 in Lancaster, California. Dave worked and built his business in his spare time, between family, full-time job and school to eventually quit his full-time job and open an auto repair business, Critical Car Care. Dave's dedication to his craft and his skills in the auto body repair industry was, and is, his passion.

He worked the many, long hours needed to learn his craft and build his business to make each and every client's experience with his company as smooth and rewarding as possible. He earned his reputation in the business as an outstanding collision repair shop that goes out of its way to accommodate its customers. Dave wanted his customers to be treated the way he would want to be treated, and that philosophy is still in force as his children have now joined and learned the business. His daughter, Kajla, is now the Manager and Estimator at the Quartz Hill facility. His son, Grant, is now a certified, Waterborne Paint technician at the Lancaster facility. His wife, Chris, does the books and keeps things running smoothly for everyone. It's easy to see that Dave and his family love helping everyone get their vehicles back on the road!

The Hot Spot

Two locations and 13 employees later, Dave and his crews still go out of their way to make your vehicle better than it ever was. But now, Critical Car Care Centers can not only handle your Automobile and revitalize its appearance and operation, we can handle your RV, Semi-Truck, Boat, Bus, Trailer, Ambulance, Motor Home, Jet Ski or anything big enough that needs attention from our gigantic, 6,700 sq. ft. facility on one acre of land! And our Shops are I-Car Certified, so you know you're getting quality work with the latest technologies available anywhere.

We're located in a hot spot: halfway between LA and Bakersfield. We're 65 miles north of LA & 70 miles south of Bakersfield (1 mile off the 14 Freeway at Avenue L.)

These cities are the two biggest centers for Semi-Truck repair in the state, so we are right on the way for almost anyone that's driving a big rig through California.

Critical Car Care Centers is a member of the Palmdale Chamber of Commerce, the Antelope Valley Chamber of Commerce and the California Autobody Association.
