Farm Boy Garage Crew

Bryan Kratzer is a small town farm boy from Seymour, Iowa. He believes life is all about having great friends/family, staying positive, working hard and having a good time all the while making dreams come true.

At an early age, Bryan developed a passion for nice cars that not only look good but go fast. Believing things can always be better, Bryan would do little things to improve the performance and appearance of all his vehicles. Bryan’s passion for muscle cars led to his dream of owning his very own shop. All of Bryan’s hard work paid off when in 2015 he purchased 5 acres outside of Des Moines and broke ground for Farm Boy Garage.

Farm Boy Garage is minutes away from the capitol of Iowa, yet far enough to have the country feel and charm. Bryan worked day and night to build the nicest classic car restoration shop with high-quality equipment. It has been a long road to get to this point, but “we did it!” Bryan recognizes many people helped to make his dream a reality. He gives credit to his friends, family, and his community.

Farm Boy Garage was created for the person who may not have the time or knowledge to create their very own dream muscle car. Bryan lives for the thrill of locating the vehicle you desire and bringing it to life. Each car is designed specifically for that vehicle’s owner with everything being done in one place, by people you can trust.

Bryan lives by the motto “my word is my bond!” and he will do whatever it takes to keep his word. It is not Bryan’s dream to be the biggest shop. Bryan’s dream is to help others achieve their dreams, and of course to be the “best in all he does!” When making another person’s dream come true, there must be a solid foundation of respect and trust. Coming from a small town, Bryan is able to provide each of his clients with a strong foundation for a feel good relationship which will last a lifetime.

Bryan’s employee selection process is a little different than most. Each employee not only has to be an expert in their field, they must also be a good person. Each person must be positive, honest, loyal, dedicated, have the drive to be successful, hardworking, and have fun while doing it. By selecting Farm Boy Garage as your muscle car restoration shop you not only get high-quality people restoring your vehicle you also gain a small group of people who believe in the same things as Bryan.

Cuda is a 3-year-old silver pit bull. Bryan rescued Cuda from the Animal Rescue League of Iowa in 2017. Cuda’s duties around the shop include sleeping on her comfy leather chair in the office and she is Farm Boy Garage’s Forman. She acts as Bryan’s eyes when he is not around to ensure everyone is working, safe and happy. When Cuda is not at the shop you might find her in the pond behind the shop playing with the frogs.

Cuda loves to be pet and hang out with the crew. Her sweet temperament and demeanor can always improve shop moral. Don’t let her breed scare you, she is very compassionate and kind. Some Farm Boy Garage visitors love her more than the cars!
