It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of one of our dear friends, Mr. William “Bill” Myrick.

We are grateful his family allowed us to share his obituary with our Harper Automotive community. While no post can fully capture a person’s life, we wanted to take a moment to honor Bill and the impact he had on those who knew him. His life was one of service, hard work, faith, and dedication. We were blessed to be able to sit and listen to the stories he had to share.

He had a way of making people smile and brightening the day whenever he stopped by. We will always remember his kindness, his friendly conversations, and the desserts he so thoughtfully brought to us over the years. Those small gestures meant more than he probably knew, and they are memories we will hold onto.

Customers become familiar faces around here, and over time, those familiar faces become part of the story of our shop and a forever piece of our hearts. We are thankful to have known Mr. Bill, and our hearts go out to his family, friends, and everyone who loved him.

Please join us in keeping his family in your prayers during this difficult time.

Rest easy, Bill. 🤍
“For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him.”
1 Thessalonians 4:14

Last week, we traded a few wrenches for warm welcomes!

We had the privilege of welcoming some wonderful women from Stanly County Schools to tour our shop, learn more about what we do, and get a closer look at the automotive industry. We are so thankful for the work they do in our schools and for the way they help encourage and prepare the next generation.

Each of these ladies represents a different school within the county and works in career development coordination and trades, helping students explore hands-on career paths and opportunities beyond the classroom. We appreciate the role they play in connecting students with real-world skills and future possibilities.

A very special thank you to Sandie Brundin for connecting us with this wonderful group and giving us the opportunity to learn more about the ways Stanly County Schools is helping students explore career paths and trade opportunities.

⭐️ Sandie Brundin - Curriculum & Instructional Management Coordinator | Special Populations Coordinator | Stanly County Schools

We also want to thank the Career Development Coordinators who took time out of their day to visit Harper Automotive, tour the shop, and learn more about what we do.

⭐️ Jency Speight - Stanly County Middle Schools
⭐️ Amy Crisco - Albemarle High School
⭐️ Traci Swaringen - North Stanly High School
⭐️ Sharon Huggins - South Stanly High School
⭐️ Karen Brown - West Stanly High School

We also want to give a big shoutout to A Time to Gather Charcuterie Bar for providing the cutest lunch boxes for everyone! They were beautifully and thoughtfully put together and made the day even more special. Be sure to check her out for your next event, gathering, or special occasion!

We love opportunities like this that bring together community, education, and local businesses. Thank you again to everyone who came out; we truly enjoyed having you!

Well… the parking lot project decided to keep things interesting. 😅

While getting some work done on the parking lot, we hit a little snag and are currently without internet. Because of that, our phones are not working at the moment.

We’re sorry for the inconvenience and appreciate everyone’s patience while we get things sorted out. Everything should be back up and running by Monday!

Thank you for understanding!

We’ve upgraded our drop box system! 🔑

We know life doesn’t always fit neatly into an 8–5, and we get it. Whether you’re headed to work before we open, getting off after we close, or just need a little more flexibility, our upgraded 24/7 secure drop box system makes it easier to drop off your vehicle or pick it up on your time.

You can safely and securely leave your keys, pick up your vehicle after hours using a unique code to access your keys, and even pay from your phone if needed through a secure payment link we send directly to you!

We’re always looking for ways to make things easier for our customers, and this upgraded system is one more way we’re doing just that. Because the 9–5 crowd still deserves honest, reliable auto repair without having to rearrange their whole day. 😉

Harper Automotive:
Reliable repairs. Flexible pickup. Peace of mind.

Big shoutout to Clifford Construction Company LLC! 🚧👏

If you’ve driven by the shop lately, you may have noticed some serious dirt-moving magic happening next door. Clifford Construction has been working hard clearing out the property so we can have more parking space for our customers! We are so thankful for the time, skill, and care they’ve put into it.

It’s always a blessing to work with another local, Christian business that takes pride in doing things the right way. Good people and good work!

Y’all go give Clifford Construction Company, LLC a follow and keep them in mind for your construction, clearing, grading, and dirt-work needs. They’ve been a huge help to us, and we’re excited for what this extra space will mean for our customers!

Thank you again, Clifford Construction, we appreciate you! 🚜

And a special thank you to Black Dog Productions for the amazing photos!

Before and after: cabin air filter edition.
Left: “Crunchy, dusty, and emotionally unavailable.” 🫠
Right: “Fresh, clean, and ready to mingle.” 😎

Your cabin air filter helps block dust, pollen, dirt, and debris from coming through your vents. If it’s been a while since yours was changed, now’s a great time to let us take a peek!
