Our 17th Anniversary We want to take a moment to stop and thank you for letting us into your lives and letting us take care of you. When we opened the shop on July 5th, 2005, we never imagined all the amazing people we would meet. The ones who would become lifelong friends and the wonderful employees that we have worked with us each day. The road has not always been smooth, and we’ve had some hard lessons. We have taken those to heart and learned and grown with each one. We started off with just Jason and a dream. The boys were just little and now here we are 17 years later. Conner – our oldest – is now out of college and working at the shop. He wants to continue the legacy and run the shop in the future.  Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for allowing us to take care of you and for trusting us with everything that is important to you. Happy Adventures, Heather

We wanted to take a moment and say thank you to each and every one of you. Thank you for putting your trust in us and letting us take care of you. It means the world to us to know that you trust us. We hope that your 2019 is wonderful. Happy Adventures and Happy New Year!! Jason and Heather

If you have one headlight that repeatedly goes out you may have an issue with the socket or in the wiring to the headlight causing the issue. Especially right now in winter when it's dark when you leave for work and dark when you get home it's so important to be able to see where you are going and to be seen on those foggy mornings. Give us a call and we will get your car operating safely again.  Happy Adventures,  Heather

I know today is black Friday and that itself has become a national holiday, but with all of that please remember to shop at the local stores in your town. They are small businesses trying to provide for there families, they work long hours with very little reward other than to know they are making a difference in the lives of the people who they employ and to there children. We are a small business too and sometimes people forget.  Please remember to shop small and support that local family who is doing their best to make a difference. Happy Adventures,  Heather

There are many reasons for a rough idle from a fuel issue to a misfire from older spark plugs. If your car is running rough it's always a good idea to have it checked out, before it causes an even bigger problem.о Happy Adventures Heather
