I have been in the automotive field for over 15 years. I was raised in my grandpa's repair/performance shop and vehicle repair is all I have known. Keeping customers safe on the road is the most rewarding part of being a mechanic to me.

My main goal is to provide the best service for an affordable price. My favorite jobs to do are engine repair and/or replacement. In my free time I enjoy fishing, playing softball with my daughter, playing xbox, camping, going to the races, and family vacations. Most people do not know that I am a big gamer!

My favorite food is steak, and the best steak I've ever had was at a hole in the wall called The Queen of Clubs. My favorite restaurant is Cheddars.

Here at D&R we are family owned and operated, we truly appreciate each and everyone of our customers. My advice to our customers is to have inspections on your vehicle regularly. This will help catch issues while they are small. In turn, this helps prevent costly repairs down the road.

Co-Owner

I have been in the auto repair field for over 13 years. I became a mechanic and now shop co-owner because I love cars!

My favorite repairs to do is steering, suspension, and alignment work. To me, repairing vehicles that no one else can diagnose and repair is the most rewarding part of being a mechanic.

My goal is to grow D&R and become one of the top repair shops in the country. I want to tell all of our customers THANK YOU! D&R would not be possible without you!  My advice to our customers is to do as I recommend, not as I do.

In my free time I enjoy dirt track racing, go kart racing, skating, and spending time with my family. Most people don't know this, but I am a very good roller skater. My favorite food is sushi from Hiro, which is my favorite restaurant.

I have over 8 years working in the automotive industry. I have always been interested in and enjoyed vehicles. When I was young I received many “driving awards” for my enthusiasm while driving. Being able to help people and educating customers on their vehicles is the most rewarding part of working in this field.

My goal is to get you back on the road safely and help you regain trust in your vehicle. Our customers are amazing! The conversations we’ve had and relationships built through phone calls, and appointments make my day. My advice to any vehicle owner is to get to know your ride. Pay attention to sounds and changes in driveability, this is how you can catch issues before they leave you stranded. Regular maintenance is key, having a professional put eyes under and around your vehicle will keep you from having larger issues down the road.

My favorite food is Chinese, but my all time favorite restaurant is Lamberts.

When I’m not at work I enjoy spending time with my family, reading, crafting, camping, and watching my kids practice/play sports. Most people don't know this but I crochet and quilt. I am the shop princess.

I have been in the automotive field for 5 years and counting. I have always been into vehicles since childhood. My parents always had cool cars and would get new ones often, so being around them I also had a love for the different and interesting vehicles.

The most rewarding part of being a mechanic is keeping the customers on the road and fixing their vehicles correctly the first time. Saving them the headache and multiple trips to a shop. Engine and Performance work are my favorite repairs.

We love our customers here at D&R, but remember your mechanic can only test drive your vehicle if it has enough gas in it. My advice to customers is to change your oil before 10,000 miles, no matter what the manufacturer says. Learn how to check and keep up with your fluid levels. If you notice something going on , do not wait till it gets worse to bring it in. What could have been one small issue could create many other issues if you wait.

One day I would like to own my own speed/performance shop. In my free time I love to travel, play the bass guitar, fish, drag race, and work on car audio. Not many people know but I am a Porsche fanboy. My favorite food is homemade fettuccine alfredo.

My passion for cars started when I was a kid, and now I've been working on cars for 10 years. My job is very meaningful to me because I can help people in ways that not everyone else can.

My favorite work to do is engine and electrical work. I want to personally thank our customers for repeatedly choosing us, and allowing us to serve you! My advice on car ownership is maintenance goes beyond oil changes and brakes. Always ask your mechanic about recommended maintenance based on your vehicle's miles.

One day I hope to own and operate a performance shop. In my free time you’ll find me spending time with my daughter or at the racetrack. Most people don't know this but I love learning about the past and how people did things a long time ago. I enjoy looking at and learning about old/abandoned things from the past. My favorite food is Hibachi Rice Box.

I have been working in the automotive field for over 20 years. Dumb luck, and enjoying working with my hands led me to becoming a mechanic many years ago. Seeing customers smile when you figure out what was wrong with their vehicle is the best part of being a mechanic.

My goal is to one day retire, knowing I did all I could do to help people and do things right. I will do any work, I love to learn and any new challenge is a chance to learn. I want to thank all of our customers for the trust and faith in us to work on their vehicles.

My advice to car owners is to always change your oil on time and if the air filter is dirty replace it. It will help your car last longer. My favorite food and restaurant is Kandelas Grill.

In my free time you’ll find me listening to music, working on my 1995 Chevy, or hanging out with my friends. One of my favorite things to do is spend time with my 5 grandkids.

I have been working in the automotive field since I was old enough for my dad to tell me to hold the flashlight still. I decided to go into the automotive repair field when I realized I could do repairs myself cheaper than I could pay someone to do them. The most rewarding part of my job is the interactions and conversations I get to have with people everyday.

My goal is to help D&R grow by forming relationships with all of our customers and vendors. My favorite mechanic work is engine building.

My advice to everyone is to never put off the small maintenance, It saves you a lot of money and headache 90% of the time. My hobbies are racing, gaming, and building things.

One day I want to jump out of an airplane. My favorite restaurant is Lazari's. Cheese Burgers are my favorite though, especially from Red Robin.
