My name is George Harvotich. I live in Apple Valley. I was part of another automotive repair shop for ten years prior to it's closing due to the "Heart of the City Project" on Nicollet Avenue. After the closing, I opened a new automotive repair facility under the name Smith Nielsen / NAPA Autocare of Burnsville.
The Smith Nielsen name has an extensive history in the automotive repair industry. Since it began in the early '50s in Richfield, it has grown to multiple locations throughout the Twin Cities metropolitan area. We service foreign and domestic vehicles and we welcome fleet and commercial accounts. We can accommodate oversized vehicles and provide a service schedule that is convenient for most customers. |

Before this, I worked at the Brooklyn Park location for five years. I have a six bay shop with two full-time technicians beside myself.

As a native of White Bear Lake, I began my automotive career over 40 years ago as a teenager working for my Dad at Arnie's Mobil in White Bear Lake. It's been said I was born with a wrench in my hand. Over the past 12 years I have worked in service management at several metro area dealerships where I learned valuable customer service skills.
As a new member of the Smith Nielsen and TSI Transmission Shops team, I intend to continue to provide the high quality service that our customers expect from Smith Nielsen TSI.
In my free time, I enjoy building classic cars and have been involved in drag racing for the past 20 years. My wife and I are the parents of a grown daughter. We enjoy reading and relaxing together on weekends. |
