My name is Kris, I am the owner and founder of SonsofThunder Tire and Auto, LLC, a Wasilla, Alaska, tire and auto shop founded on faith and a commitment to honor God through faithful service. My business is independently owned, not affiliated with any other entities using the name “Sons of Thunder.” The name is inspired by the nickname Jesus Christ gave His disciples James and John (Mark 3:17, LSB), evoking zeal and power, like thunder and lightning. As an Electrical Engineer by degree, this theme resonates with the precision and energy I bring to my work, reminding me to keep Christ first.
I rest my faith entirely on the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God incarnate, as God the Father declared: “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased” (Matthew 3:17, LSB). Humanity’s sin separates us from God, deserving judgment, but the gospel offers hope through repentance and faith. The Old Covenant required blood sacrifices, for “without shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins” (Hebrews 9:22, LSB). Jesus fulfilled this through His perfect life, atoning death, and resurrection, establishing the New Covenant. Through repentance and faith in Him as Lord, His righteousness is imputed to us, declaring us righteous and granting eternal life in heaven (Romans 3:22-24, LSB). Jesus rose, is alive today, and will return, offering salvation to all who submit to Him—the Word of God (John 1:1, LSB).
This gospel compels me to honor Christ in every area of life, including the work He has entrusted to me. At SonsofThunder Tire and Auto, LLC, I strive to please the Lord with a pure heart by providing reliable service—tire changeovers, brake repairs, oil changes, chassis lubrication, and more—tailored for Alaska’s demanding roads. I’m dedicated to serving Alaska with honest, high-quality service, reflecting Christ’s truth and love.
