Redhawk Auto Service is expanding to its newest location, the Canyon Lake Towne Center. The business will be located in the former Advance Auto Care location.
Founded in 2005 by Canyon Lake residents Tom and Donna Grady, Redhawk Auto Service has grown steadily over the past two decades. What began as a single shop has expanded to seven locations across Southern California, including two in the Redhawk area of Temecula, two in Murrieta, and additional shops in Poway, Mission Viejo, and now Canyon Lake.
The new Canyon Lake location marks a meaningful homecoming for the Gradys, who chose the site not only for its business potential but for its personal significance. As residents of Canyon Lake, they say they are proud to invest in the community they call home.
Joining the Canyon Lake venture as a partner is fellow resident Tony Schwarzman, owner of Canyon Lake Mobile Golf Cart Repair. Schwarzman brings both automotive expertise and local ties to the new operation, further strengthening the business’s community connection.
Redhawk Auto Service repairs and maintains all makes and models, offering comprehensive automotive care under one roof. Services include routine maintenance, major repairs and certified smog checks. The shop utilizes the latest diagnostic equipment and specialty tools to ensure accurate, efficient service.
Customers will also benefit from a national three-year/36,000-mile warranty, providing added peace of mind. To make repairs more accessible, Redhawk offers financing options through six different lenders.
The Canyon Lake facility will undergo renovations to incorporate state-of-the-art equipment and modern upgrades designed to enhance both efficiency and customer comfort. Operating hours will be Monday through Saturday from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
Community involvement will be a cornerstone of the new location. The owners plan to be active members of the local business community through the Canyon Lake Chamber of Commerce. Tom Grady previously served as chairman of the Elsinore Valley Chamber of Commerce, demonstrating a long-standing commitment to supporting local businesses and fostering economic growth.
A formal grand opening celebration, coordinated through the Canyon Lake Chamber, is planned for approximately two months after the March 2 opening.
Looking ahead, the long-term vision for Redhawk Auto Service remains rooted in its founding principles.
“We are a family-run business and wish to establish a legacy of honesty and integrity fueling future growth,” Tom Grady said.
With its expansion into Canyon Lake, Redhawk Auto Service brings not only automotive expertise but also a deep sense of community pride — a combination the owners believe will drive success for years to come.
