It is the end of an era‼️And it’s been great ‼️
Butch Gruelke Auto Body has been purchased ✌️
💥Lance Studer Customs will be relocating to our building to continue auto body repair and mechanical services.
The show must go on!
Customers on a repair list - this changes nothing for you. You are in good hands.
There has already been a slow transition on the back side and Lance Studer Customs is ready to serve you Monday, May 4.
Butch, Jennifer & their family – cannot say THANK YOU enough for all the amazing support over the 21 years 💞
With your support, we’ve been able to raise our kids and grandkids here. With your support, we’ve been able to do business with many small businesses 💵 With your support, we’ve been able to support local and area school functions, youth sports teams ⚽️⚾️🏈🏀community events, sponsorships, and so much more! We also have been able to serve on committees as volunteers. With your support, we’ve repaired A LOT of vehicles over 21 years 🚕🛻
This is the true definition of live here, work here and play here.
This is COMMUNITY 🥰
The best thing about operating our business is the people. Customers have become friends 💙
Employees have become family 💛
It truly is a blessing and we are forever grateful for those relationships ❤️
It’s a bittersweet good bye – but we’ll see you around. We may walk away with a tear in our eye 🥹and a smile on our face ☺️ as we are grateful for this journey.
We are excited for Lance Studer Customs to provide services to Hampton, Franklin County and surrounding areas. Give them a holler or stop in for your vehicle repair needs.
Edited: what does this mean for Butch and Jennifer?
Butch will be working with Lance for a bit.
Jennifer will be closing up business side of things for a bit.
We are excited for new opportunities to come our way.
We are too young to retire 🤪
