John and I purchased the business in October 1997.  John had worked off and on at the shop since high school, beginning by sweeping floors and later becoming a mechanic after college.  Third time's the charm when we decided to become owners.  Fast forward to 2025 and we both agree, "We've learned a lot!"  But truthfully, the learning never stops.  We have met so many wonderful people, we have had some wonderful adventures, some not-so-wonderful, all the ups and downs and we wouldn't change a thing!
