The Cellar - Nov 17th, 2018 : Bogi’s Garage

Like many 16 year olds, Sarah “Bogi” Latiner bought a used car. Like many 16 year olds her used car gave her trouble.
And like many females she found the repair shops were condescending, often lied, and always overcharged.
But unlike many she decided to learn how to diagnose and fix it herself, and ended up doing a complete restoration...
because she’s a smart cookie.

Bogi was pushed from an early age to go to college. She attended Oberlin College with a double major in Women’s Studies and Pre-Law and a minor in Politics. She graduated Phi Beta Kappa in just three years. At first she had her sights on Harvard Law school, but after really thinking about what she wanted to do with the rest of her life, she made an about-face and moved to Phoenix to attend Universal Technical Institute to be a mechanic.

After graduating from UTI, Bogi had a difficult time finding someone to hire her and finally found a home with BMW Dealerships. There was a lot about working at the dealership that she found frustrating, and after six years Bogi quit her job and started working on friends cars in her driveway. After eighteen months, her reputation as a topnotch mechanic grew to the point where she couldn’t keep up with the work load. So at the age of twenty nine, she took a huge step and leased a building, hired some employees and officially opened her own shop.

She opened her shop in 2007, hosting Velocity’s TV show ‘All Girl’s Garage” from 2012, and got a bunch of women together to
build “Montage”, a ’57 Chevy pick-up for last years SEMA show in Vegas.

She’s 39, single, no kids, no boyfriend, worth 3 million, and could build you a kickass ride. ;)
