From Karlsruhe to Tacoma: How Steve Pinney Jr Built Full Throttle
Steve Pinney Jr was born in Karlsruhe, Germany, and raised in the United States. He met his wife, Parichat, in Seattle when they were both 21. They have been married for over 19 years.
2016: Full Throttle Auto Sales
Steve and Parichat founded Full Throttle Auto Sales in Tacoma in 2016. It was the first business with the Full Throttle name on it, and it set the standard the rest are held to: a 5-star experience built on honesty, communication and real care.
2019: the repair shop
In 2019 they added a full-service repair department, just before COVID reshaped the industry. That business is now Full Throttle Auto Service & Collision, working directly with insurance companies for its customers.
And then the rest
The family has since grown to include the Full Throttle E-Bike Store and Full Throttle Life Coaching. Same name, same promise.
