Big day at Topel’s! 📹🔋
We had the pleasure of hosting Kate and Claire from Clarios — along with their camera crew — at the shop today to film a video for their nationwide team highlighting the importance of Right to Repair.
If you’re not familiar with Clarios, you should be. Headquartered right here in Wisconsin (Glendale), they manufacture more than 150 million automotive and low-voltage batteries every year — roughly one in three vehicle batteries on the road worldwide. They supply the aftermarket with brands you know: DieHard AGM, Optima, ACDelco, and Motorcraft, and they run a closed-loop recycling system that turns old batteries back into new ones.
Right to Repair matters to every one of our clients. It means independent shops like ours keep access to the tools, data, and parts we need to service today’s increasingly complex vehicles — so you get to choose who works on your car.
Thank you Kate, Claire, and the whole crew for spending the day with our team. We’re proud to represent independent repair alongside a Wisconsin manufacturer doing it right. 🧡
