The Tony's Service Center Team
Danny Guido – Owner
In 1982 Danny began his automotive career following in his father’s (Tony) footsteps, taking over the family business that originally started in 1959 at 40th St. and McDowell (some of you may remember us there!) During this time, Danny has worked to earn the prestigious AMI Automotive Degree for Management. At home, Danny and his wife Sue are the parents to two dogs: Buddy the Dachshund and Pedro Gomez the Chihuahua. When asked his dream car, Danny’s answer was…A black F150 named Smoke! Being a native of Phoenix, some of Danny’s favorite things to do are swimming, horse racing and treating his wife like a queen! Three great things you may not know about Danny are that he cries during Julia Roberts movies, he prefers to sit at the little table for Thanksgiving and…his wife is smarter than him!!

Hans Veldman – Customer Service Driver
Around 2004 Hans walked in as a customer and 5 years later, he became an invaluable member of the team. Each time you need a shuttle ride to or from the shop Hans will be the smiling face you meet. Being born in The Netherlands was just the beginning of destinations for Hans before coming to the U.S. He has lived in Denmark, Australia and Indonesia. The dream car Hans would like to drive through our mountains is a 1957 Mercedes 300 SL. When he is not caring for our customers, Hans enjoys taking daytrips, reading and watching movies.
