It All Started with a Wrench and a Dream

Some stories begin with blueprints and business plans. Ours began with a little boy, a set of toy cars, and a lifelong fascination with how things work. Long before Finish Line Performance & Service existed, David was turning wrenches alongside his father — soaking up every sound, smell, and spark that came from the garage.

That childhood curiosity grew into a passion that never left. What started as helping out in the family shop became a way of life — one rooted in pride, precision, and a genuine love for fixing what others depend on most: their vehicles.

David is a fourth-generation automotive enthusiast. His great-grandfather, William Chase, opened one of Omaha’s first automatic transmission shops in the early 1900s, laying the foundation for a legacy built on honesty and craftsmanship.

That same passion carried through the generations. David’s father owned Old Towne Motor Works in Benson, Nebraska, where David learned the value of integrity, hard work, and the satisfaction of a job done right. The smell of oil and the sound of an engine roaring back to life were part of daily life — and they still are today.

At Finish Line Performance and Service, that family history fuels everything we do. Every repair, every conversation, and every car that leaves our shop carries forward more than a century of pride in doing things the right way.

From a small two-bay garage built in the 1950s to a thriving five-bay facility just down the road, Finish Line Performance & Service has grown — but our mission has never changed. We’re proud to serve Forsyth and the surrounding communities with the same care, honesty, and attention to detail that started it all.

You’ll find us not only under the hood, but also out in the community — supporting local events like the Spring Fling and Harvest Moon Car Shows, both of which help give back to causes close to our hearts.

Because at Finish Line Performance and Service, it’s never just about fixing cars. It’s about carrying forward a legacy, serving our neighbors, and keeping Forsyth running strong — one honest repair at a time.
