Our Founding Story
Our Founding Vision: The Birth of Portfolio
In 1989, a simple yet profound question changed everything. When a customer asked founder Steve Burke, "What's next?" after experiencing a setback, it sparked more than just an answer—it ignited a revolution. Portfolio was born from that moment, built on the radical idea that every challenge is an invitation to innovate, and every setback is a setup for a comeback.
Portfolio's remarkable growth journey has been marked by a steadfast commitment to transforming obstacles into opportunities. We didn't just set standards in the automotive service industry—we rewrote them entirely, creating a customer-first culture that puts success at the heart of every decision.
A pivotal milestone came in 2020 when Portfolio acquired National Automotive Experts and NWAN, originally founded by Kelly Price in 1995. This strategic merger united two pioneering forces, each legendary for their dedication to world-class customer service, cutting-edge innovation, and industry transformation. Together, we became unstoppable.
