Lonnie Mitchell

Owner/Technician

Raised in the Great Pacific Northwest, I started working in bowling centers at the age of 13
in 1969 in Portland, Oregon on Brunswick pinsetters. Within a year later, we moved to Gresham, Oregon where I learned the AMF 8230/5850 model. I fell in love with working in bowling centers and even more, on the pinsetting/pinspotting equipment. Over the years, I have worked for both Brunswick and AMF as well as several independent centers. It was later when one of the managers I worked for, suggested I
become a "Rent-a-Mechanic".
I liked the sound of that and sought out ways to improve my knowledge and skill.
Becoming a troubleshooter and traveling to different centers, solving their equipment malfunctions, just made me love it that much more.
The bigger the problem, the
better I like it.

Glen Overstreet

Maintenance Technician / Adviser

Glen joined my team after more than 30 years with Brunswick. His knowledge in pinsetter preventive maintenance helps keep machines running smooth and quiet.

Tasha Cain

Maintenance and Inventory

Tasha is my daughter! She is currently 29 years old and started helping me on the machines since she was 7. She is now a fairly good mechanic and excels in the area of preventive maintenance, adjustments and inventory. Not too many people get away with arguing with her about her experience as she usually puts them in their place. She knows what she is doing and I am proud to have her as part of my team.

Natalie Mitchell

VP and Office Administrator

My wife Natalie has put up with me for over 30 years and is in charge of all office work. She doesn't do any mechanical work but has helped on occasion handing me tools and advise (lol).
