The Story Behind Valor Autoworks

Built Out of Pure Passion and For Doing Things The Right Way

About Valor Autoworks

What started as a passion for racing and high-performance vehicles quickly turned into a lifelong career for Chris, owner of Valor Autoworks. Chris driven by his love for all things automotive, put himself through automotive tech school, focusing on High Performance Powertrain and Automotive Technology. Over the next 15+ years, he built a strong foundation as an experienced automotive technician, honing his skills in both everyday repairs and performance upgrades.

In the spring of 2024, Chris turned a dream into reality by opening Valor Autoworks first in his own home garage and then on to a bigger commercial shop in the heart of Concord. This shop is about more than just cars — it’s about heart, honor, and legacy.

The name Valor Autoworks carries deep personal meaning. It was inspired by Chris’s close friend, Justin Pellerin, and his older brother, Andrew Paquette, both of whom proudly served in the U.S. Army. Chris had always hoped to serve alongside them, but medical reasons kept him from enlisting. In 2009, Justin made the ultimate sacrifice, giving his life while serving in Afghanistan — an act of true valor that left a lasting impact on Chris.

To honor Justin’s memory, Andrew’s service, and the sacrifices made by all Veterans, Chris chose to name his shop Valor Autoworks. This business isn’t just about fixing cars — it’s about giving back. Valor Autoworks proudly supports Veterans and their families, ensuring their contributions are remembered and appreciated in the community.

You’ll find more than great automotive service here. You’ll find a shop built on passion, integrity, and respect for those who serve.
