Grand Opening, Today -- Fried-Day Due to recent advances in technology, the real-time, honest to Abe gargage has changed character. Greasy mechanics with lurid pictures on their Snap-On toolboxes have been replaced with greasy computer geeks with lurid pictures (of vans) on their monitors. Welcome and meet our staff: Owner/Proprietor: Gerry Skerbitz. Gerry didn't really intend to expand his operation to the current level it has grown but being an easy going sort, went with the flow. He says it gets him 'money for nothing and chicks for free' Service Manager: Joel Walker. You've always wanted a service manager like Joel, now you got him. Need a part number for that set of points out of a '59 Split? No problem. Looking for that obscure service owner's manual. Joel's got it in stock and if he don't, he'll order it for you! Howz THAT for service? Sales: Martha Rubin/Steve Johnson. Women can sell cars. Boy, can they sell cars. Wrapped in the latest flannel, no buyer can resist the charms of a saleswoman that knows her Blummenvasen from her silver socket. Steve? Well Steve just pummels the customer with verbage until they are so dazed, they'll buy anything. Customer Relations: Ric. Who else? :) Line Mechanics: the good people of this list. They work for peanuts(butter), never tire (groan), and actually enjoy getting 'gas in the face'. There's an expert at every terminal and clean finger nails on every keyboard :) The nice thing about THESE mechanics working on your van is that the darn things just seem to fix themselves. Heads are mysteriously relaced, CV joints greased, and even that little bolt dropped into the engine case is retrieved. I'm sure I've missed some of our staff... perhaps others could fill in? :)
