Well. S**t. I have to share some of the most difficult news I've had to share about myself.
After 8 wonderful years, the shop, Blasdell family auto repair, will cease operation tomorrow. After a rough news january this is where i am. My main parts supplier (car quest) pulled oyt of the morrison and mount carrol stores. Also deleati g my account making it impossible to look for digital reciets. Also my warranty company, decided i was not a valued customer(for 8 years) and decoded to drop me. Also sending me a letter telling me to tell my customers their warranty is still valid , i just have to gove them a phone number amd they will send them to a different company who can help them...... wth...... befor that, Unfortunately I had a car catch fire in October and my insurance company is dropping me. Further more, this past month I've talked to numerous companies about insurance and still looking but for what ever reason(fire) I'm to high risk for insurance. Ive spent all the energy i can to solve this problem so save your timee woth the advice. I do t want to here it
I've had some health issues which had already required me to adjust my hours and I was t sure what our plan was but I do know this wasn't in my plans. I hate that it's not my decision, hate that im letting my customers, friends and family down. To tell my kids and wife was the hardest. They've looked up to me because of what I've been able to do for them with the blessings g that the shop was and I feel embarrassed. Weather I should or not I do. I promised my dad when he was passinf i would be there to be sure moms always ok and i feel that this wasnt the idea of that statement, though i will he here, it doesnt feel the same. This fu***ng sucks.... for me, family and customers. The shop phone will continue to be on in hopes of something happens with insurance but I wouldn't count on it. I certainly encourage you to try and use the shop still and I will hopefully be able to at least guide you in the right direction.
