Hi, I’m Natasha!

I’ve been an automotive technician for just over 20 years, and I absolutely love what I do. I’ve recently been presented with an incredible opportunity—to purchase the very shop I currently work at: Blacksmith Automotive here in Tehachapi.

Throughout my career, I’ve built my reputation on honesty, integrity, and treating people right. I take pride in the work I do and in helping others keep their vehicles safe and reliable.

Due to my boss’s recent health issues, he’s ready to pass the torch—and this is my chance to turn my lifelong passion into ownership of a business I already love and believe in. Unfortunately, despite being a woman in a male-dominated field, access to grants has been limited. Traditional loans are also tough to secure for what’s considered a “new business,” even though I’ve been part of its day-to-day operations for years.

So, I’m reaching out to ask for your support in making this dream a reality. Any help—big or small—would mean the world to me. Your support would not just be an investment in a small business, but in a future where honesty, quality service, and community come first.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for believing in me.
