I have been a part of the Auto Repair business for over 43 years...owning my own shop for 38 of those years. I enjoy what I do so much that an early retirement just wasn't for me. I love working with people so assisting them in getting back on the road safe gives me a great sense of achievement! In my free time I enjoy riding my Harley and spending time with my wife and 2 daughters.

Ralph was helpful like always: offered the latest rebates and applied my Ford points for a great deal on tires. The guys did the work way under the three hours they planned. I will be coming back. More
