🔧⭐EMPLOYEE HIGHLIGHT: BRYCE!⭐🔧

This week, we’re putting the spotlight on Bryce, one of our Service Technicians! 👏

Bryce has been working as a mechanic for 6 years, and his love for cars started long before he ever picked up a wrench. As a kid, he spent time building model cars, which sparked the passion that eventually turned into a career. 🚗🔩

When asked what he enjoys most about being a mechanic, Bryce’s answer says a lot about who he is: he loves taking something that needs work, fixing it, and seeing it come back to life rather than watching it get destroyed. There’s something pretty rewarding about bringing a vehicle back to its best! 💪

One of Bryce’s favorite parts about working at Kerlin is getting the opportunity to work on our performance vehicles. 🏁🔥 But it’s not just the vehicles that make Kerlin a great place for him — he also really enjoys the work environment and the way all of our departments work together as a team.

When he’s not turning wrenches, Bryce enjoys target shooting and, of course, spending time around the things he’s loved since he was a kid — cars! 🎯🚘

We’re proud to have Bryce as part of the Kerlin team and appreciate the skill, passion, and personality he brings to the shop every day!

Help us give Bryce a big Kerlin shoutout!👏🔧

Can you spot the AUCTION VEHICLE??? We get asked a lot - “What auctions do you buy from?” So let’s talk about it!!

Short answer : EVERYWHERE! 😂

We source our auction vehicles through multiple avenues, including dealer auctions, online auctions, Ford closed sales and many more..

BUT we don’t just buy anything and hope for the best - when purchasing we have a Representative that travels and put eyes and hands on them! Many of our vehicles go through 2-3 inspections before seeing our lot.

Once they arrive here, they receive a full service and completed multipoint inspection to make sure the reports check out.

What happens when it doesn’t? It goes back. Period. What is something YOU look for when shopping for a used vehicle?

Our goal is simple: Find quality preowned vehicles we’d feel good putting our own families in. 💙
