Birgitta Bergqvist - Owner and operator of Autoshop Racing Engines
I do this because I always have done it and I love it.
It's not just a job for me, it's an love affair.
You'll see.

Hands-on knowledge
Autoshop started in our small hometown Umeå in 1981 by Birgitta and late Lennart Bergqvist to serve northern Sweden with the best racing parts. It soon became a service for all Nordic countries, and it is still. Always.
In 1985 we moved to Orlando Florida USA.
In 2006 Lennart passed away.
In 2018 Autoshop moved to Englewood Florida.

Our family have always been dragracing. Autoshop is full of love for it. Proven solutions have guided us through the years. We can walk the talk. Autoshop is involved in all kinds of record setting racing, including our own marks in history. And we had the great privilege to meet our hero, late Smokey Yunick.

We are always making good deals with our partners to be able to offer you the best prices and service. Started out with GM Bowtie and NOS. Now we have great deals and direct businesses with just about everyone, like Brodix, Dart, Holley, CP pistons, MSD, Turbo Action, TCI, J&W Transmissions, ProCharger and many more! Of course we are especially proud of the world class products from Swedish manufacturers Auto Verdi and Leander's Clutch.
This is the mission
Already back in Umeå in 1981 the layout for this job was obvious.
- Customer contacts Autoshop with his or her wish.
- Discussion and suggestion until agreement with customer.
- Then the hunt begins for the right manufacturer with the right parts.
- Good thing that we only work with high quality. Back order is never fun for anyone.
- Also a good thing that we have worked up good deals over the years, which benefit the customer.
- UPS and FedEx with smoking tires deliver the parts. Repacking a lá smartness for shipping by air.
- Ship to the customer same day. Or rather yesterday or even earlier...
- Customer happy. Birgitta happy. My fuel is my relation with the happy customer.
There are several cycles like this going at the same time, at different stages. So it happens
that I am on the phone to order from a manufacturer while receiving or shipping with courier
and a customer is calling and another one steps in through the doors. I love the action.
What would we do without Photographers?
Thank you all for saving the moments that make our history!
