═════ MEET THE CREW: ═════
Reason 2 of 5 of why we do what we do.

Gregory: Our oldest BOY!

Here are a few fun facts about Gregory:
1) He is the reason we closed the shop down July 2nd for an adoption. After years of waiting and dreaming the boy finally shares our last name.
2) Gregory is by far our tallest family member. At about 6 foot tall he has to literally look down to talk to us.
3) He has really taken a liking to hunting, fishing and all things motorized!
4) This year he stepped into a HS football manager and he is really loving being able to be sideline with all the older boys during the games.

Gregory is ready to take on the role of oldest in the house when his sister leaves for basic and we know he is ready for that task!

Is Your Battery Trying to Tell You Something?

A dead battery never seems to happen at a convenient time.

If your vehicle is:
• Slow to start
• Making a clicking sound when you turn the key
• Needing a jump more often than usual
• Showing battery or electrical warning lights
• Or just acting a little off when starting

…it might be time to have your battery checked.

A battery can give you warning signs before it leaves you stranded — and we’d much rather help you catch the problem in the shop than see you stuck in a parking lot.

Stop in and let us check it out.
We’ll test your battery and charging system and help you figure out what your vehicle needs.

Because nobody wants their morning commute to start with, “Honey… can you come jump my car?”

Give us a call or stop by the shop!

As a reminder:

We are closing the shop today at 12:00pm so we can help Zack & Cheyanne celebrate their wedding.

Zack is the owner of Lakeview Landscapes and has been a long time customer of ours and we are grateful to have the opportunity to witness this next chapter of his life.

We are so happy for you Pooky 😆

═════ MEET THE CREW: ═════

Reason 1 of 5 of why we do what we do.

Willow: Our oldest.

Here are a few fun facts about Willow:
1) Like her dad, she is also a firefighter. Willow joined when she was 16 and has passed all of her classes.
2) Willow is headed to Missouri at the beginning of Nov to start her basic training. She made the decision to join the Army National Guard and is training for Hazmat.
3) The deer in the picture - yep that was her first buck EVER! She loves the outdoors and hunting especially with her dad.

We are going to miss her dearly when she is gone, but we are so proud of for what she is going to be accomplishing.

We know the coming months are busy for everyone with holidays, and life happening.

We thought it would be nice to give the list of days we know we are going to be closed until the end of the year.

October 9th - Fire Safety Day (TJ is putting on the fire hat to help with this)
October 16th - Closing at 12:00.
November 2nd - Closing at 3:00
November 3rd - We are sending our oldest off to bootcamp.
November 23-25th - By Appt only.
November 26 & 27th - Thanksgiving break
December 24 & 25th - Santa is coming
December 31st - Appt only

Again these are the days we know we will either have short hours or be closed. We will do everything in our power to keep the rest of the year open for our valued customers.

═══ MEET THE CREW: ═══

Next up: Annita: the office lady. When you call into Cripe Services, likely she is going to be your first line to conversation. She will get you on the schedule, so TJ can get right to work.

Here are some fun facts:
1) Annita is a Stay at home mom but does all of our book work, scheduling and admin things inside the shop.
2) She absolutely loves the chaos that comes from having 5 kids in so many activities, even if she gets overwhelmed sometimes 😉
3) Annita is a book work - she loves reading but in this season of life, its pretty much only audiobooks.
4) If she had her way, we would be traveling all over in an RV homeschooling the kids. There is always an adventure she is looking for.

This is a family affair around here, and we are so grateful you trust us to keep you on the road.

═══ MEET THE CREW: ═══

While we all don't work on your vehicle or sit in the office, we thought it would be fun to see the faces behind who is fixing your vehicle, who is ordering the parts and who is driving us to keep going.

Lets start with the guy who makes a whole lot of this happen ~TJ: the Mechanic.
(I promise he likes his job way more than his picture being taken).

Here are some fun facts:
1) He has been a mechanic for about 18 years and well versed in different options.
2) He is a volunteer fire fighter. He joined the Plum City Fire Dept in July of 2017.
3) He is an avid outdoorsman.
4) When he isn't working, you are going to find him at a ball game of some sort. With 4 kids in school, he is always sideline of an event.

When your car is getting worked on here at Cripe Service, you are not only getting experience, but you are getting care. We don't see it as another job, we see it as someone important in that driver seat who has family and friends they need to safely get home too.
