About

Dan Garlock is CEO, president and co-owner of Silver Lake Auto & Tire Centers, the Oconomowoc-based auto-repair chain first-party about copy says his father Walter "Wally" Garlock opened as a two-bay garage and gas station in 1973.

The about page says Dan and Darren Garlock now own the shops and publishes the flagship at 36355 E Wisconsin Ave, Oconomowoc, WI 53066, phone (262) 567-0284, plus Hartland, Brookfield, Muskego, New Berlin and Grafton lines.

BizTimes reported the brothers have overseen the company since 2015 after buying their father out with an SBA loan, that Wally moved the flagship to East Wisconsin Avenue in 1991, and that Dan opened the Hartland shop in 2013. A September 23, 2025 BizTimes piece on a second Brookfield store at 645 Main Street said the chain would reach seven Wisconsin shops and about 70 employees under Dan as CEO and president and Darren as co-owner. His professional profile lists him in Oconomowoc as president/CEO.

Named co-owner, president and CEO of a single Oconomowoc-headquartered repair chain with a published East Wisconsin Avenue flagship lock makes Garlock the auto principal on this slate. Darren Garlock is the other named owner. Additional first-party shops stay secondary lines, not the desk. Work email locked from the Apollo-first pass.
