It all started with a snore. The unmistakable noise of the V8, the dream car. A passion that has spanned generations and is still growing stronger. It has been the fuel of this family business for over a decade in the auto market.
At 13 Orlando worked as a packer in a supermarket, in love with cars, his favorite days were the weekends that announced the races. It was always an adventure for him and his friends. They met on Erechim Street and took the bus to the race track, each carrying a snack to spend the day. Once there, they would jump over the wall and find a way to reach the S-curve, where everything gets more exciting. Things started to change when the new manager transferred from Curitiba arrived. Knowing his fascination with the V8 engines, he invited him to accompany him to the races, with the right to enter the pits, to see the machines up close and to hear those beautiful snores.
After 4 years came the first opportunity to work in the area, without pay, was 1 year and a half of much learning, with Edson Pardal. From then on the doors opened, he was invited by one of the pioneers of V8 mechanics in Cascavel and pilot, Mauro Turcatel, to work in his workshop, gaining even more experience and knowledge in this workshop. He married and, a few years later, left mechanics to work at Retiguaçu, rectified by friend Samuel Lazzari, where he came across his biggest dream a Maverick V8. Every day I dated the boss's car, after all, dreaming costs nothing, doesn't it? He also found that, no matter what time, dreams come true. His boss, knowing of his desire to have that car, sent him to the office and offered the car for the amount that today is 15 thousand reais. Unfortunately, your dream still didn't fit in your pocket, at least not the whole dream. He had the idea of ??making a counter offer, so he got a discount, a special payment condition and bought the long-awaited car, but without a motor. No, you didn't get it wrong, he bought a car that didn't drive. Things do not go exactly as we imagine them, they happen in the best way to get us to what we are destined for. The dream car deserved the best, so the saga began to get the parts. The purchase of block 302, from junkyard to junkyard, workshop by workshop looking for any part he could complete. At the end of this stage, and the help of Secret friend to close the engine, all the effort was rewarded. Hitting the match and hearing it working came the confirmation "That's what I want for my life" and it has been ever since.
The first workshop, Street Car, had financial help from his brother, with tools brought from Italy and the differentiated knowledge of partner Jairo Aloísio. This partnership lasted 8 years, so far as to go its own way.
Then was born Nando Automotive Services, family business. And if there's an adjective that defines Nando, it's this familiar one. First came his son Eric, started washing pieces and cleaning the room, and was then bitten by the same pet as his father. Then came wife Cris, who quit her 13-year-old job to take care of accounting, and finally came youngest Amanda, to give the touch of modernity and engagement, wanting to show Nando to the world.
In addition to blood ties, we also have the family we choose, this is how we see and treat each client as part of our family. We performed each project as if it were being made for us, as if it were that first panned engine, assembled with great effort and dedication. For we know exactly what each car represents for its owners. We share the same love, that tune with the sound of the V8.
