In 1984, Ridge Service moved to Union Ave, Rutherford. In the year of 1985, while attending college, I, Chris Caputo, started working at Ridge Service as a mechanic. I found my passion was working on cars, it came easy to me. I learned 20 years of experience from my boss in 4 short years.
In 1990, my boss wanted to move to PA, so he offered me the business. I was 23 years old, but I felt this is what I truly wanted deep in my heart. Fighting through the fear and doubt, wondering if I would succeed, I chose to go forward and buy it anyway, and changed the name to Chris Ridge Service.
In the year 2000, the business was growing. Ironically the owner of a national brand gas station, now Delta station on Park Ave, wanted to retire and offered to sell me his gas station. I agreed and 31 years later, I am still here continually building and improving the business to honor God, support my family and church while providing the neighborhood with service in integrity, loyalty, and excellence.
