History of Tune Tech Fairview
Tune Tech was started in 1978 at this location by Rob Williams. As it grew, he expanded to multiple locations throughout the Treasure Valley. Over the years, Rob sold his ownership of the other locations and ran this Tune Tech on Fairview for many years. Almost a decade ago, Rob sold the business to long-time employee Bob Brobst. Bob retired in 2016 and the current owners — John and Pamela Hallenberger and Chris and Lindsie Bergevin — are continuing the commitment to excellence that has been a part of Tune Tech since the beginning.
