The Finish Line

Shop Profile: TJ Grandcolas, Reid Metal Finishing

Tim Season 2024 Episode 3

TJ Grandcolas is owner of Reid Metal Finishing in Santa Ana, California, a shop that was started by his father, Jerry.

Grandcolas tells how he worked in the shop after college, and then become principal owner after his father's passing in 2018 when TJ was just 33.

“At 33 years old. I was not prepared for all that happened,” he says. “I didn’t really feel like he had a lot of time to teach me and get me ready to take over the business. I learned a lot, and it was definitely a trial by fire, but I wasn’t going to let him down, and I wasn’t going let the team down here.”
