About Us

Information about Mark Turner and Jason Craig of Finish Zone.

As with any team, we have become experts in our trade and continue to work toward a common goal, but we also individually bring to the table certain distinct expertise's. This enables us to provide you with a full rounded training course so that once in the field, you'll have the knowledge and support to put you on the right path to success. 

Of course, with any success it has to have a beginning and for us, that was through the vision and perseverance of Mark Turner.                

After an exciting career with combined NASA and Redstone Arsenal of Huntsville, AL, Mark had gained what would later prove to be crucial knowledge in the area of research and development as well as negotiations.  

With less interest in space exploration looming as well as advancements in auto refinishing, he set out on a new challenge to perfect the skills and products necessary to ensure a great repair every time.  Through years of testing methods and perfecting them, he has created and given this field of work the answers to what before was thought to be impossible.

Much more recently, Mark has been involved with training large and small businesses from all over the country and some from abroad. His expertise and workmanship caught the interest of Mercedes Benz and he was brought on as an outside consultant for the Maybach build up in Tuscaloosa, AL. There he went on to not only train both American and German technicians, but also authored the complete care and repair manuals for the Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600 SUV.

Today, he continues to work in the field testing new techniques and processes as technology advances. As our lead instructor he brings those same innovations to the classroom and ensures you have the best tools before starting your new venture.
