From the Owner, Phil Lanway
“I LOVE HELPING CUSTOMERS, AND TAKING CARE OF MY EMPLOYEES.”
I look at business like a circle. I take care of my employees and, in return, my employees take care of my customers. My customers become life-long clients who refer their friends and family to us. If the circle is broken anywhere, the business fails. Before I opened my own auto repair business, I worked for a dealership and saw firsthand how I could improve customer service and employee relationships. My goal is to ensure everyone is taken care of properly, so the circle is whole and all are happy and satisfied.
WE BELIEVE—AND OUR CUSTOMERS AGREE—A FAST AND PLEASANT AUTO REPAIR EXPERIENCE IS THE BEST AUTO REPAIR EXPERIENCE.
