My name is Daryl Eggen, I joined LaFontaine’s service team in December of 2021 to run our very new and exciting POWER BROKERS program.
Before I joined the Lafontaine family I was a gear head most of my life. In my early years, I used to pester my parents by disassembling things and not knowing how to put it back together until about the age of 7. At this point in time of my life I was full tilt in love with anything that had an engine. I realized quickly that not only was I passionate about this, but also had a knack for it. I have built small engines, big engines, grass drag snowmobiles, offshore race boats, SRT powered jeeps, and even some top fuel dragsters.
Working for Dodge directly after graduating Wyotech, gave me a very good understanding of how the dealership programs operate. This included specialized training in SRT vehicles and how to hold certifications. I became the head technician of a performance shop where I would reside for the next 7 years. I honed in on my forced induction and fabrication abilities, built “magazine worthy” vehicles which included more 1000+ hp vehicles than I could have ever imagined. This experience enabled me to transition to managing the fabrication department and being part of a team that is building the most prestigious Jeeps in the world (Hemi, Hellcat, Demon, and even Hellephant powered). All of these experiences have come full circle to let me join the LaFontaine group and run this exciting new program.
Power Brokers is very exciting to me because I get to help personalize our guests’ vehicles for them during the entire process. This is an awesome program for so many enthusiasts and being that cars are merely an extension of who we are, I can’t wait to service and build your project to exactly the way you see fit.
