The work came first. Trust made it a business.

Long before there were three shops, Ahmed and Jeff were teenagers learning with their hands.

The beginning

Their father and uncle had a major influence on them. They spent time around their uncle’s shop, worked on cars, and learned to respect the difference between replacing parts and truly understanding a mechanical problem. When Ahmed was about 16 and Jeff 17, the brothers replaced an engine in the garage at home. That project turned an interest into something deeper: mechanical work was work they genuinely loved.

Windsor Mill—and earning trust

In August 2019, Ahmed and Jeff took a leap of faith and purchased the Windsor Mill shop. There was very little business at the beginning. They worked long hours, stayed close to every repair, and earned customers one at a time. The principles were simple: show people where their money is going, communicate honestly, and fix the vehicle correctly.

The family team customers know

Growth was never only about the two brothers. Their cousins joined at young ages and became part of the core team. Bobby, Malik, and Omar are named here because customers may actually speak with them and recognize them around the shops. Their trust, familiarity, and shared standards helped make expansion possible.

As that team became stronger, expansion felt possible. Randallstown joined the business in October 2024, followed by Rock Glen in May 2026. Ahmed and Jeff remain hands-on, moving among all three locations and staying connected to the work, while Bobby, Malik, Omar, and the wider team help carry the same customer experience from one shop to the next.

One name across three locations

7 Auto Care became the shared identity for the company. The name also carries a meaningful connection to the core team of seven people whose relationships, effort, and standards helped the business grow.

“Family Owned. Trusted. Done Right.” is not decoration under a logo. It is the standard the business grew from.
