Hi!
Sorry for the long post I normally don’t do things like this but here goes.
A bit of a change is coming for me and the shop. These past few days away have made me realize a few different things…
First of all it’s been extremely busy at the shop all summer long, for that I am truly grateful to each and every one of our customers! Without you and your trust in me, the shop wouldn’t be near as busy as it is! Thank you!!!
The reality of things is that I truly care about our customers and their cars. So much so that I end up working till midnight at least 3, 4 and sometimes 5 days a week just to keep work flowing and vehicles being fixed. Then I turn around and work the weekend too.
Secondly, with all of that has come very little time to spend with my wife and kids. This getaway has been a huge eye opener that they need more from me than I have been giving, which is the most significant thing I need to correct. My kids are getting older by the day and they deserve more time with their dad.
I am not going to change my business hours or anything like that but am just hoping everyone will understand if repairs take slightly longer than estimated. For the most part I don’t think it will change anything on the normal maintenance and repair side of things, only on the bigger and more lengthy repairs. I will however be in communication with you over the length of the repairs. Just know I am trying to get away from staying late. It’s just simply not working out for me. I am going to try and enjoy time with my family too.
Lastly I want to say thanks to my brother in law Preston who’s been working for me this summer. Without him the shop would be even further behind than it is on a normal basis. He’s always been willing to stay late just to catch up in hopes of staying on schedule for the next day so thank you Preston!
I am hoping our customers will understand and be patient as we get through this work/life balance thing that I have not been very good at! Just know that we work hard every day to fix your cars to the highest standards possible and we will always continue to do that! No exceptions.
Luckily I have a great wife and family who all understands that the job needs to get done. They’ve been by my side since we started this business but now it’s only fair I give them a bit more in return.
Thanks, Matt
