History Established in 1948 Portola Valley Garage has been in the business servicing automobiles since 1948. In 1952 Martin Ramies began working for Al and Lindy Lindstrom. In 1961 Martin took over the business & kept a high level of quality & integrity for his customers. Tom Ramies (Martin's son) would go to the garage almost every day after school just to be around cars & take apart old parts to see how they work. He performed his 1st valve job on a Renault when he was 9 years old! Tom began to work full time for his father in 1977, and later purchased the business from his father in October of 1996.
