Galpin Motors Culture

At Galpin Motors, we believe the shop floor is where the real magic happens. It’s where careers are built, talents are sharpened, and lifelong friendships are formed. We’re proud to say that some of the best technicians in the industry call Galpin home—and many of them started right where you are now.

We’re family-owned and operated since 1946, and that still means something here. You're not just a number on a schedule—you’re part of a team that values your craft, your time, and your future. Our President, Beau Boeckmann, is on the ground daily, leading by example and ensuring that Galpin remains a place where hard work is noticed and rewarded.

We grow from within. Ask around—many of our shop foremen, service managers, and Master Techs started as lube techs, porters, or apprentices. When we say there’s room to grow, we mean it. Our size and reputation mean real opportunity, but our heart and culture keep it personal.

At Galpin, we believe that a diverse workforce is a strength to be celebrated. We value the unique contributions that you can bring to our team in terms of education, opinions, culture, ethnicity, race, sex, gender identity and expression, nation of origin, age, languages spoken, veteran’s status, color, religion, disability, sexual orientation and beliefs.
