Spring time! Tis the season to tidy up, and that includes your car. Your trusty four-wheels have rolled through dirt and grime all year, baked on by the head and muddied up again by the rain.

The multi-point inspection includes a top-to-bottom check for your vehicle. We think that the best way to start off the New Year is to get to know exactly what your car needs! What’s the special occasion? Well, on January 10th it will be Mike Moehlenkamp’s 10th anniversary of owning Gary’s Auto Service! To mark the occasion, let’s take a look back at where our favorite head mechanic started. Mr. Moehlenkamp started working in automotive technology and management as a fleet supervisor for a phone company. With a stroke of luck and brilliance, his initiative to bring the phone company’s fleet service in-house proved successful, and Mike was promoted to being a supervisor of five shops!
