Meet the Team
Aaron Walton
CEO / Founder
Aaron doesn’t say a lot—he doesn’t need to. He’s the owner of Midtown Auto Repair and has been leading the shop since the beginning, with a background as a certified Ford tech and service in the U.S. Marine Corps. He’s the kind of leader who stays steady no matter what’s going on, and his standards have shaped how Midtown operates to this day. Honest work, solid repairs, and taking care of people—that’s the whole foundation. And if you’re hearing a new noise or things feel “off,” Aaron’s advice is simple: “When you feel like your car is falling apart, it probably is.”
Rebekah Walton
General Manager
Raised in a family-owned shop, Rebekah’s been around cars and shop life forever—and it shows in the best way. As Midtown’s General Manager, she’s the glue that keeps the day moving: organizing the chaos, keeping the team on track, and making sure customers feel taken care of. She’s especially good at explaining what your vehicle needs without the overwhelm, and she’s not afraid to lovingly keep the crew (and yes, the boss) in check. Off the clock, she’s pure Kodiak—crocheting on rainy days, blasting music on a drive, and heading for the beach the moment the weather cooperates.
Justin Huling
Shop Foreman & ASE Master Technician
If you’ve been around Midtown, you’ve probably met Justin—and if you haven’t, you’ve still benefited from his work. With 18 years at Midtown, Justin is our Shop Foreman and Master Tech, and honestly, he’s part of the foundation here. He’s calm, level-headed, and known for doing things right—especially when the job is complicated or the problem doesn’t make sense at first. From diagnostics to final checks, he keeps the shop on track and the standards high, with just enough humor to keep the crew laughing. Off the clock, he’s either at home unwinding or out on a mountain getting his reset.
Rebecca Wolkoff
Marketing Manager
From a career in health care to a stint as a service advisor, Rebecca joined Midtown in 2024 and quickly became the person behind the scenes keeping things looking sharp. She started at the front desk, picked up marketing along the way, and in December 2025 officially became Midtown’s Marketing Manager. She loves turning shop-life into posts that actually make sense, keeping Midtown current, community-connected, and easy to follow—online and in the shop. If you see something that made you smile, learn something, or book an appointment… there’s a solid chance that was Rebecca.
Autumn Anderson
Service Advisor
Autumn is a Service Advisor at Midtown and hands-down one of the kindest people you’ll meet here. She’s patient, thoughtful, and has a way of making the whole repair process feel a lot less stressful—whether she’s getting you scheduled, giving you an update, or answering questions with genuine care. Off the clock, she’s all about Kodiak life: long walks, hiking trails, fresh air, and the perfect soundtrack of grunge, rap, and rock. If you’re lucky, you might even catch her talking dream mods for a fully-loaded Tundra.
Samuel Stahlhut
Service Advisor
Sam is one of Midtown’s Service Advisors and the newest full-time addition to the front desk crew. He came to Midtown from an administrative role at the local college, and he brings that same organized, steady energy to making sure customers feel taken care of, from scheduling to updates to the “what does this mean?” questions. Outside of work, he keeps it pretty low-key: gaming or streaming at home… unless he’s baking for Simply Awesome Bakery.
Raymond Rider
Parts Advisor
Ray is Midtown’s Parts Advisor, and if there’s a parts problem, he’s the one untangling it. He’s done a bit of everything at Midtown… service advisor, maintenance tech, and now the guy making sure the shop gets what it needs to keep you moving. Kodiak parts life isn’t for the weak, but Ray stays cool and keeps chasing down answers until it’s handled. He’s also a Batmobile enthusiast, and his best advice for Kodiak drivers? “Buy a Toyota.”
Dylan Vizzone
Journeyman Technician
Dylan is one of Midtown’s mainline technicians—and when it comes to Fords, he truly speaks their language. He’s Ford-certified (with a whole lineup of certifications to back it up) and brings a steady, can-do approach to whatever rolls into his bay. Dylan drove over 4,000 miles to make Kodiak home, and when he’s off the clock you’ll usually find him outside—woods, river, fresh air—soaking up island life with his family.
Elijah Gonzales
Journeyman Technician
If you hear music, clapping from the back bay, or a perfectly timed one-liner, you’re probably near Eli. He’s been with Midtown for almost four years and recently made the jump from Maintenance Technician to Journeyman Technician—and we couldn’t be prouder. Eli brings big energy and solid work ethic to the basics and beyond, and he’s the kind of guy who keeps the shop moving and the mood up. Off the clock, he’s usually lifting at Last Set Gym or gaming with the crew.
Nathaniel Campos
Maintenance Technician
Nathaniel is Midtown’s newest Maintenance Technician, and he’s the kind of quiet that still makes an impact. He moves through the shop with calm, focused energy—steady, ready, and never rattled—like he’s got a built-in “no panic” setting. He doesn’t say much over the shop noise, but when he does, it’s either the exact right answer or a perfectly timed joke that catches everyone off guard. Fun fact: he’s Eli’s brother—but Nathaniel’s definitely carving his own lane here at Midtown.
Mario Loya
Shop Helper / Custodian
Mario is Midtown’s shop helper and maintenance tech-in-training, and he’s one of those behind-the-scenes people who makes a huge difference. From keeping the shop clean and safe to jumping in wherever he’s needed, he helps everything run smoother—bays, office, break room, all of it. He’s quiet but quick-witted, genuinely one of the nicest guys here, and somehow balances work and college like it’s no big deal. Also: he has four dogs—so if he looks tired, now you know why.
