Behind every smooth-running independent shop, there’s usually someone working incredibly hard behind the scenes. For me, that’s my wife, Heather.
Not only does she manage all our books and taxes, but she’s also full-time managing our three young kids. This week, we suddenly found ourselves short-handed in the shop, and without a second thought, Heather stepped right up to help me run the front desk for half the day so I can stay under the hood.
I truly couldn’t do this without her dedication. If you see her at the desk or talk to her on the phone this week, give her a huge shout-out!
(P.S. Since I am flying solo in the bays right now, I am actively looking for a reliable mechanic apprentice to join the shop. If you know someone eager to learn the trade and work hard, have them drop off a resume or send us a DM!)
