We are officially closing our shop as of May 4. More than anything, we just want to say thank you. It has meant so much to us to serve our community for 21 years and to get to know so many wonderful people along the way. All current work in progress has been completed or will be completed this week. Emails have gone out to active automotive customers as of today. Vendors will be contacted this week.
Nate and Ronda are heading into retirement and setting off in their camper with their two furbabies, Meowser and Kiki. Justin has moved on to a new journey in corporate research and development. I-86 customers can still reach Tina in the office for a while yet as things wind down.
Our real estate, equipment, and tools will be listed for sale through Peterson Auction later this month. This may be an opportunity for someone looking to start or expand a shop, especially with the current wait times for NYS inspection station licensing. All questions on items for sale should ONLY be directed to Mike Peterson and his staff. An Open House will take place prior to the auctions.
Thank you again for your support, your trust, and the many conversations over the years. Customers, team members, apprentices, young interns from BOCES, vendors... It truly feels like we’re saying goodbye to family, and we hope to see you around the community for one more handshake and a smile.
Take care and God bless,
Nate, Ronda, Justin, and Tina
"The Leadership Team" at I-86
