Dirk's Shop

Dirk's Shop We repair anything! For vehicle diagnostics, electrical, mechanical, maintenance, fabrication or machining. My background is in dairy farming and gunsmithing.

Cars, bikes, offroad toys, farm equipment, lawn equipment, you name it, we fix it! In my 51 years I have spend all my life fixing and building anything and everything. Now that I am retiring from school bus driving, it was time to make it official! Any challenge is welcome, I'll figure it out!

Please nominate someone who needs a mower for a small yard but can't afford one or a kid that wants to make some money mowing lawns in town. It comes with all the paperwork and the charger.
