STEM will be closed Friday August 16th for a self-proclaimed STEM Staff Appreciation Day. Calls, texts, emails, online requests, and telegraphs will be responded to on Monday.

This day is designed to benefit the staff, but here are some recent changes designed to benefit our customer community:

-All 3 of us now have NY inspection licenses, allowing us to schedule inspections much sooner.
-We now donate $0.05 per gallon gas pumped to local Clarence cub scouts.
-We’ve been routinely Tesla training using factory service manuals, tools, and dissecting my wife’s Tesla. We can absolutely fix EVs and hybrids.
-We’ve made a number of nerdy software improvements that help our work flow and internal communication.

We still offer mobile services for auto and small engine. The wait time for an appointment is longer and the cost is more than in-shop, but we plan to continue this offering because it’s just so convenient if you can plan ahead. We adjust mobile availability as demand changes to minimize waits for all appointments. If you have a more critical need, please let us know. We do not work later hours or weekends because we have families, but have tow options and can reach out if there’s a cancellation.

We can’t please everyone every time, but are really good at solving problems and we love helping people.

We open again for our regular hours tomorrow at 7am.

Today is STEM’s 6-year anniversary of incorporation! I had daydreamt about the idea for a year beforehand, and it took about a year of preparations until I was really doing it, but today was the day of no return when NY recognized it as a business.

We’ve changed some, adding people, adding a second truck for tires, adding small engine repairs, adding a shop building and adding a full-service gas station. Our physical goals have evolved but our identity hasn’t. We pursue relational customers, we aim to find the root cause of technical problems, and we try to offer convenient service options.

This photo is recently when I started refinishing our old gas station’s steel porcelain panels having no prior experience doing so. It shows the same “what have I gotten myself into” face as I had 6 years ago. I believe we should all intentionally challenge easy decisions because they aren’t always the best or right solution. This certainly isn’t the easiest way for me to make a living, but the challenges provide some great motivation and I’m super thankful for the opportunities to learn, grow and contribute to our community. Thanks for supporting our small business!

Using a pressure tester is one way we diagnose an overheating or coolant leak.

Automotive cooling systems are typically closed systems that are designed to naturally pressurize as they heat up. However when there are leaks, they often occur while driving when you wouldn’t notice a drip underneath. We pressure test to simulate the pressure that occurs during driving and can be confident what is leaking. This video shows how we diagnosed a leaking radiator top tank at a customer’s house.

We are closed today. Also here is a view behind from our shop.
(About 1500 miles behind)

The snow has caused our parts suppliers to not deliver today, our customers didn’t drop off cars for us to fix, and we frankly don’t expect many gas customers so feel free to call and schedule, but we won’t be open for gas or repairs today. Stay safe!
