The next chapter in my life

Post by crawlercreations »

After spending 9 years at my previous employer working my way through all of the different positions including national auto diagnostic team lead and ending in management I have moved on. So I have started my own shop. This is mobile or, preferably, out of my detached garage/shop. I can work on most anything and am not afraid to tell you I won't work on something if I am not comfortable doing so. I am very excited for this next step and can't wait to see where it takes me. I do not have plans to get very big or take on additional employees at this time as I would like to be able to focus on customer service and quality repairs without rushing through jobs or having to trust someone else to do the work. I am fully licensed and insured. Please don't hesitate to contact me for any repairs needed to your bronco or other vehicles. I do have a 2 post lift and commercial grade tire machines with digital balancer so I can even do full service tire work. My website isn't quite done and I am not sure I am happy with it yet but it should give you some ideas. http://crawlercreations.wixsite.com/mysite

Congrats on taking that big leap of faith. Always great to see people making their lives what they want it to be.

With that said, I got a project or two I have been needing done. I'll get with you privately.

Wanted to give this thread a quick bump to say thanks. This weekend Jason broke out his mechanic skilz to check out a car I was looking at buying. It got a solid colonoscopy and I came away a whole lot more confident about the purchase than I'd been. Jason, thanks again!

Thanks for the work and kind words Justin!

I've been pretty busy the last 2 weeks but don't have much scheduled for next week yet. Anyone needing some work done? I do most anything but diesels. This week I've done a timing belt on a Lexus to an oil change on a jeep. A bunch of work on a Saab too. A couple pickups with some work as well. I work on old or new.
