    April will be 12 years. We should be at 3 buildings and 12k square foot by then if all the stars line up. A one stop shop. Dreaming I guess. However what’s life without dreams?

    Just a few photos.

    I don’t post much anymore, so I felt like contributing.

    Well I enjoy your content and looking up issues on Google, so there’s that.
    Hope all is well!

    Kevin your work is bad ass. Look forward to bringing my truck to you. I’ll trade you my company Sitka hat for one of those bottomland hats!

    Nothing like getting a sausage biscuit and their legendary tea and then a reminder that you need an oil change 😂

    My plan

    Get Auto Repairs moved and the belt loosened a notch so we can breathe. Augusta Rd location was fine for a scared BMW guy that been at the dealer for 20 years and worried to make the leap. 10 years later completely outgrown. 12 years later completely hemorrhaging

    The new 4400 square foot building and room will help with that and parking. Two entrances will help with congestion.

    Current Customs shop may change to quick lube, tires, and alignments

    Customs will just unite with Auto Repairs

    That leaves me with an entire other vacant shop that could serve for a number of possibilities. Dedicated diesel shop, dyno, powder coating, detail, etc. We’ll see soon. I currently have no plans of a body shop however that’s a thought as well

    I appreciate all the support over the years. It’s not about the money to me. I help more people and give professional advice and not opinion to so many folks. I help a good bit right here on scducks. I also get business from this mentality. If your vehicle breaks, why not take it to someone you know and trust… no matter who that someone is.

    April 2013 I opened with Tommy and myself. Now we’re up to 18 employees and room for more growth. I however miss the simple times more and more often Maybe I get all this up and rolling and decide the next place I can build a successful auto repair shop….

    How about bring your mentality and a location to the upstate. We could use it.

    Never hurts to drive to someone with a great reputation and that you can trust! My truck went from Moncks Corner up to Kevin when I had the shocks swapped on my F150 to the Bilstein 5100s! I'd make the drive from California if I could! Lord knows the diesel shops out here are as crooked and overpriced as they come!!
    Back on the West Coast in Northern California. Got four more years here and then I'm out in 2028!!
