Duane's Performance and Repair LLC

01/15/2026

After many sleepless nights and a great deal of soul-searching, we have made the decision to sell Duane’s Performance & Repair. The sale was completed on December 30, 2025, and the business has been purchased by Mike Sievers. It will now operate as MLS Engine & Machine.

Duane will continue working at the shop in the capacity of a machinist for the time being, and we’re happy to share that the address and phone number will remain the same.

We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to all of our loyal customers who have supported us over the past nearly nine years. Your trust, dedication, and commitment made this dream possible, and we are truly grateful.

While this decision was not an easy one, it was made with family at the forefront and a desire to make the most out of life.

Please feel free to give the shop a call with any questions or concerns. Once again, thank you for your continued support—we look forward to seeing you around and wish MLS Engine & Machine continued success.

The unfortunate truth of owning and running a business.

Running a business is really hard.

What they don’t tell you is that it can cause severe stress and anxiety, and drains you mentally to the point of depression in even the most laid back people.

People will talk about you, compare you to others, use you, they will view you as a service and not a person anymore.

Friends and family will expect discounts and people will value you and your hard work less than a big chain store.

You have to worry about if you forget to email/message someone back, are they going to think it was on purpose? Did you disappoint them? Will they hold that against you? When in reality you just can’t get to everyone’s messages and emails and requests of what they think you should do.

Running a successful business puts incredible strain on personal lives and relationships, many of which fail because there is just often no work life balance. You need to be the director, the worker, the admin, the marketing team, the accountant, the cleaner..... All whilst being a parent, a husband or a wife, family support, friend... it’s one of the hardest things you will try and balance

There’s a reason you don’t see many people succeed in small businesses after 5 years. If they are successful they are overwhelmed. It takes a toll. It’s freaking exhausting. Especially the past couple of years when so much has been out of our control.

Here’s a small reminder that we are just normal people with hectic lives. Be kind, be patient, support small businesses…….and hopefully more of us will stick around!
