Two complementary strengths coming together with a shared belief in doing business the right way.
PBAS was formed by two complementary strengths coming together with a shared belief in doing business the right way.
Dallas Beard grew up in the Quick Muffler family, learning the trade from the ground up. From an early age, he saw firsthand that discipline, structure, consistency, and appreciation are what allow a business to last. Those values shaped his approach to building strong operations, reliable systems, and teams that can grow without losing their foundation.
Michael O'Brian brought ingenuity, warmth, and a natural ability to connect with people. He has always been a persuader—not through pressure, but through trust. Mike makes people feel safe. He explains the work, reassures customers, and brings energy and creativity to every environment he's in. His strength has always been customer happiness and human connection.
When Dallas and Mike combined forces to form PBAS, it wasn't about growth for growth's sake. It was about balance.
Operational discipline and structure
Ingenuity, warmth, and customer trust
Together, they built PBAS to support communities, families, and long-term automotive careers—while preserving the heart of the local businesses they serve.
At PBAS, every decision is filtered through our core values. We don't pursue growth for scale's sake. We grow with intention, ensuring that every brand we bring into the family aligns with our commitment to excellence, integrity, and community.
Many of the businesses within PBAS were built by families over generations. We consider it our responsibility to be good stewards of those legacies—to honor what was built, support the people who built it, and ensure the brand continues to serve its community for generations to come.
We invest in training, mentorship, certifications, and leadership development to create real career paths—not just jobs.
Every business under the PBAS umbrella keeps its identity, its name, and its place in the community. We strengthen brands—we don't replace them.
Family businesses. Career journeys. Trust earned over decades. We carry those stories forward with respect and responsibility.
Each brand has its own history, specialty, and local identity—united by a shared commitment to excellence.
