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. The business he and his wife Parichat built in Tacoma started with one car lot in 2016.
Seattle, at 21
Steve met Parichat in Seattle when they were both 21. They have been married for more than 19 years, and every business they own they own together.
2016: Full Throttle Auto Sales
The first Full Throttle business was a car lot in Tacoma, founded in 2016. In 2019 they added a full-service repair department, shortly before COVID reshaped the industry. It is now Full Throttle Auto Service and Collision.
The rest of the family
The Full Throttle name now covers the auto sales lot, the service and collision shop, the Full Throttle E-Bike Store and Full Throttle Life Coaching. They run on the same promise: honesty, communication and real care.
Two lives, one person
The part that surprises people is that the same man ran a car lot and spent years in monastic robes. Steve Pinney Jr does not treat those as separate careers. The discipline is the same, and so is the listening.
