Golden Rule Mechanic - Marlon Olivas

02/09/2025

Our Meet the Mechanic event today was a success! We had such a wonderful time meeting new faces and helping them learn more about and feel more comfortable around cars, etc.
We will definitely be doing more of these events in the future, and a huge thanks to our sponsor Mid Michigan Autism Association! And our kids were happy and shocked that they got to have donuts for breakfast 😁 They are the reason we have the business after all!

It's time for our next MMAA event at our shop! 👏👏 I (Julia, Marlon's wife😉) am a board member for MMAA Mid Michigan Autism Association and my husband Marlon is the mechanic, and the event is at our shop Golden Rule Mechanic - Marlon Olivas in Grand Ledge. Two of our own three kids are autistic, so we feel very comfortable teaching this community 😁

🎉 FREE thanks to MMAA sponsoring the event!

🎉 Sensory friendly, calm, patient learning environment with individual 30 min session time slots to sign up for!

🎉 Event is specifically for neurodivergent kids, families, and adults to help anyone with anxiety, adhd, autism, sensory issues, or anyone with a disability or differently abled! Any age! (No neurodivergent "diagnosis" needed! We just want to support and help this community that may get overwhelmed or too intimidated at a typical dealership, mechanic shop, or to buy a car or get their car repaired, or learn about their car.)

We structured the event differently this time than in the past:

⚙️ Have a preschool- high school age kid that really likes engines, mechanical things, or likes to see how things work? Would they enjoy seeing a real mechanic and auto repair shop, see an engine, and have the opportunity to learn and ask questions?

🚗 Want to learn how to change a tire? Prefer to learn and practice on your own car?

⛽️ Want to learn how to check the fluids on your car? Prefer to learn on your own car?

❓️Have any specific question about your car, want the mechanic to look at something briefly for you like a check engine light, low tire pressure, does my car have a...?, how does my car...?, or any other question about buying a car or maintaining a car?

✅️That's why we are doing this event!

We are hosting our 3rd Event in the Car Maintenance Series with our sponsor MMAA (Mid Michigan Autism Association) is coming up Sat March 16th! This one is about how to check the fluid levels in your car and if something is low, how and when to refill it and knowing what kind of fluid to use for your specific car :) The event is free, the time slots are 40min each, 1 time slot per family if there are multiple people in one family that want to learn. And you bring your own car to learn about instead of learning about someone else's car.
Please share if you know any one who has anxiety, autism, or sensory issues, or any other disability that would benefit from a calm, quiet, and kind learning environment. Click below for tickets!

FYI the shop will be closed Dec 24-26 for Christmas, but we still have openings the rest of this week and next week if you are wanting to get your vehicle in! We finally have signs up on the outside of the shop on all of our bay doors on the front and backside of the building, so look for the little red signs with our logo!

Good news! Marlon got some new to us Snap-on equipment recently: a tire machine and balancer!
We can take on low profile tires to light duty truck tires to mount and balance for you. And another nice thing is that since we have a bigger shop now, we have the capability to store off season tires for our customers, which would be in a climate controlled environment. Ask for more info if interested!

Thanks to all of our customers for your patience with us as it has been a rough few months trying to get set up and settled in our new shop. But we are finally getting there slowly and excited for new things!
We now have openings and availability if you would like Marlon to look at or work on your vehicle, now's your chance! Txt or call us at our new local number: 517-234-4254. (You can still call or txt Marlon at his cell number as always, we are just trying to transition to a business line)
