    Is This Worth It? 

MEET ESTHER — THE WOMAN BEHIND TORQUE & TEMPTATION

Forged in grease. Fueled by attitude. Built for those who want more than ordinary.

Torque & Temptation wasn’t crafted to fit into the industry — it was built to disrupt it.

I’m Esther, a UTI-trained mechanic who learned this world in the places where rules blur, engines talk back, and instinct is the only thing that keeps you from getting burned.

I was forged flipping cars, diagnosing hidden problems, resurrecting tired machines, and navigating the kind of deals most people are too scared to touch. I see the stories in the steel, the red flags in the fine print, and the potential in vehicles everyone else overlooks. That’s where the temptation starts — with the machines that have personality, history, and a little bite.

I don’t sugarcoat.

I don’t play along.

And I damn sure don’t let my clients get taken for a ride.

Torque & Temptation exists for the drivers, dreamers, hunters, and troublemakers who know a good machine isn’t just transportation — it’s an obsession. So whether you’re selling, searching, or trying to make sense of the chaos, I guide you through it with clarity, instinct, and a rebellious streak the industry can’t figure out how to handle.

If you want safe, boring, or basic, there are plenty of places for that.

If you want straight answers, sharp intuition, and a mechanic who brings a little danger to the garage—

Welcome to Torque & Temptation.
