In the frame shop we work on all makes, models and sizes. From small boat trailers, to passenger vehicles, all the way up to class 8 truck tractors and trailers.

Here, we replaced the frame rails on this pickup that were damaged from plowing snow.

Tuesday evening we hosted 33 local first responders, including ten from our Towing and Recovery Division, at the Denver shop for the National Incident Management (TIM) Responder Training Program.

This TIM training program is designed to promote three main goals; responder safety, safe and quick clearance of the incident and prompt, reliable and interoperable communications between all agencies involved.

By including the towing industry into this program, it allow us to better understand each agencies roll in clearing a emergency scene quicker and safer while protecting all first responders.

To date this year 25 first responders have been struck and killed on our nations roadways. We must do better, together we will do better!

A special thank you goes out to Todd Leiss for sharing his program and wealth of knowledge with us. We greatly appreciated it!

Yesterday, we had ten of our technicians brushing up on their air conditioning skills by attending the Mobile Air Climate Systems Association, Mobile A/C Best Practices workshop.

This seminar helps keep our shops up to date on the latest techniques, technology and systems being installed in todays new equipment as well as allowing our guys to brush up on the preexisting systems. And by keeping our A/C Techs up to date, this allows our shops to expertly service our customers more efficiently.

Unfortunately, one of our guys bought a new to him SUV that left him sit. Fortunately. we tow employee vehicles at no charge when they are broke down.

Like many of our guys, you may have enjoyed watching the hit TV show “Highway Thru Hell” on The Weather Channel. A few episodes ago Jamie Davis had a challenging time getting a truck tractor off of the high-tension cables. When impacted, these cables, officially known as High-Tension Cable Median Barriers, tend to wrap around a vehicle and capture it by using extreme friction while grabbing or making pinch points. As you may imagine, this can make for some challenging recoveries. And then compound this with other obstacles such as the original galvanized guard rail, deep mud and heavy rain and you have the perfect recipe for a miserable Friday evening.

This was our evening last night…

We cannot express enough gratitude towards the great men and women of the Reamstown and Adamstown Fire Companies for sticking it out with us as we wrestled with this incident. We could not have done our job without your help and fire police protecting the scene. Thank you!

For the past 24 years GSFA has provided our employees with a family outing. It started with a picnic lunch, then we moved everyone to the Mt. Gretna Lake and Beach. But now with over 85 employees, along with over 200 of their family and friends, we’ve outgrown nearly every local option. This was when we decided to move our employee appreciation day to Hershey Park…except for the last two years. We miss having all of our family and friends together but we still wanted to provide our employees with a appreciation meal.

Thank you ladies and gentlemen for all you do for Garden Spot Frame & Alignment and we look forward to getting back to normal at Hershey Park next year!!

PS. A special thank you goes out to Jeff and Roy for preparing yesterdays meal of smoked beef brisket and pulled pork for the Denver shop as well as Tuesday’s meal for the Leola and East Earl shops. The food was excellent!!

Last week we delivered one of our retired loaner vehicles to the Fire Company. This sedan, along with another previously retired SUV from our loaner fleet, will be used by their members to practice operating their new set of hydraulic rescue tools. This is just one more way we can help those who help us.
