The Story Behind Automotive Empire 1 LLC

From Baghdad to Phoenix — A Journey Built on Passion, Perseverance, and the Love of Cars

My name is Fadi Odish, and the story of Automotive Empire 1 LLC isn’t just about cars — it’s about where I come from, what I’ve built, and the people who helped me get here.

It all began in a small garage in Baghdad, Iraq, when I was just 11 years old. My grandfather owned a modest repair shop specializing in Audi, Porsche, and Volkswagen. After school, I would rush there — not because I had to, but because I wanted to. I started as a helper, sweeping floors and handing him tools, but what I was really doing was learning — not just about cars, but about character, precision, and pride in your work.

When I came to the United States, I brought that same spirit with me. Like many immigrants, I had to start from scratch. But I never let go of my passion for the automotive world.

Eventually, I opened my first shop — Pro Fix Auto Service in Southfield, Michigan. It was a huge step, but life had other plans. I faced challenges that forced me to move and start again. I relocated to Phoenix, Arizona, where I rebuilt everything from the ground up. I reopened as Pro Fix Auto Service, then expanded into Pro Fix Auto Center in Tempe, and later M&M Auto Repair.
 

It was during the time of Pro Fix Auto Center that something truly life-changing happened:
I met my lost soul… my queen.
 

She believed in me before the empire existed. She gave me her love, her time, her trust — and most importantly, her unshakable belief in who I could become. We built not just a life, but a family — one where we shared everything, from the long nights at the shop to the joys and responsibilities of raising our children.
 

She is a big part of who I am today, and I carry her support with me in everything I do.
 

Now, we begin a new chapter:

Automotive Empire 1 LLC — based in Phoenix, Arizona, focused on foreign and domestic used cars and trucks.

This business is more than metal, engines, and paperwork. It’s the story of a boy in a Baghdad garage. A man chasing a dream in America. A family standing together through it all.
 

This is my legacy.

This is our empire.

And we’re just getting started.
