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.

Having a mechanic to trust as I trust Ralph is crucial to me. Having an older car with issues I was unaware of when I purchased makes that a necessity. More
