Things are shaping up. We will move back in next week. There are some repairs from the construction that need to be finished up. The phones and the alarm will be done also. They will come on Monday November 20th. I will take appointments for the following week after Thanksgiving. We look forward to reopening and you seeing our rebuilt facility. Feel free to share.

We are progressing towards reopening. As you can see the ceiling has been installed and heaters are being hung. The lights will go up on the ceiling beginning this week. Hoping for being ready sometime in November. Everything depends on how fast the last phase goes, which should move quickly. I will post a date when I get a little closer to everything being completed. Thank you for your patience. We look forward to serving you soon. Feel free to share.

Sorry it's been a little while since I've posted an update. The electrician, alarm / telephone contractors have been working diligently on the building for the last two to three weeks. We have passed the rough inspection. New carpet was installed in the office last week. Today the insulation was reinstalled along the walls. The walls and ceiling were sealed with plastic sheeting. The drywaller will be next in line to come in. We are waiting on the ceiling panels. The furnace and a/c unit for the office were also replaced today. As soon as the ceiling is installed, the electrician will be back to run the lights. We are getting close and look forward to getting everyone caught up on their vehicles. Hang in there everyone, hopefully by the end of the month or early November will be back up and running. As you know some things go quickly and some things take a little time. It has been 2.5 months but has felt longer. Thank you all for your patience. Feel free to share. Thanks

The cleanup crew is done after two and a half weeks. The damage from the fire has been completely removed and the building is ready for the next phase of repair. Met with the electrician this morning and things are progressing quickly. Garage door guy and alarm people were here this week also. As they say, the wheels are in motion for a return as quick as possible. Thanks to all who check in and keep in touch. Please feel free to share.

The crew has been working for 8 days straight and the building has to have the metal ceiling removed because of the smoke damage in the attic insulation. The cleanup crew will be done by Sunday and the reconstruction phase, ceiling, electrical, heating etc. will be coming in after. Met with the head of the construction phase today and he has all of the wheels in motion. We will be down for a while but back sooner than a lot of people expected. Thank you again to all that have stopped by and reached out. I will keep updating as progress is made. Please feel free to share.

Starting day 3. The south end of the shop is looking pretty good. Can't say enough about the people working. 7:30am to 6pm everyday so far. This is a very tedious process. There is damage to the insulation above the ceiling panels where the fire was concentrated. That will be taken down and repaired in the next few days. The real process is getting 28 years worth of saving this and that out of here. Thank you all again for your support. From the bottom of mine and my families hearts, it means everything. Please share if you wish.

Monday July 31st. The cleanup and restoration has begun. The building will first be cleaned and checked for all damage done by the heat of the fire. Cleaning and Repairing walls will take approximately 2 weeks. After that necessary repairs will be made. Please feel free to share. I will keep updating the progress. Thanks

To our friends and loyal, wonderful customers, yes this happened. A car caught fire in the shop 15 minutes after we left for the day on Thursday. Don't know why, don't know how. My guys are not careless mechanics that would let this happen. The car was here for an oil pressure problem and we had the job 75% back together. Never had a fuel line off or touched a battery cable.
With that being said, we have started the process with the insurance company. Monday will be a few inspections and hopefully next week I will kind of have a time frame of how long this will take. After I know more I will certainly give an update. Thank you all that have reached out and continue to offer your help. You look at what is in front of you and feel helpless. I'm a mess. We will be back and here for you all just like before. Please feel free to share. Thanks
