We have a little bittersweet news to share with our Wilke Automotive family. ❤️

After being such an important part of our shop and the familiar face and voice so many of you have gotten to know, Danielle will soon be leaving Wilke Automotive to pursue a new opportunity.

While we’re definitely going to miss having her here every day, we’re excited for her and wish her nothing but the best in this next chapter. We know many of our customers have gotten to know Danielle over the years, and we’re incredibly thankful for everything she has done for our customers, our crew, and our shop. 🇺🇸❤️

With that being said, we’re looking for the right person to step into her role at the front desk.

We’re hoping to find someone who is:
• Reliable and organized
• Friendly and comfortable working with customers
• Tech savvy and a quick learner
• Experienced with office/administrative work
• Able to multitask and keep things moving in a busy environment
• Someone who isn’t afraid of a little organized chaos 😂

Automotive experience would certainly be helpful, but finding the right personality and work ethic is most important to us.

Ideally, we’d love to find someone within the next couple of weeks so Danielle has some time to show them the ropes, help with training, and make the transition as smooth as possible.

If you or someone you know might be a great fit for the Wilke Automotive crew, please reach out to us or stop in and introduce yourself.

And in the meantime, if you see Danielle at the front desk, make sure you give her a hard time about leaving us. 😂❤️

😂 SEE… WE WEREN’T JOKING ABOUT JOE GETTING HIS BEAUTY REST! 😴

🇺🇸🔧 THAT’S A WRAP — YOU’VE MET THE WILKE TEAM! 🔧🇺🇸

Over the past couple weeks, we’ve taken you behind the scenes and introduced you to the crew that keeps Wilke Automotive rolling every day. ❤️🤍💙

From Tyler, our Boss Hog running the show, and Danielle, our feisty front-desk Chaos Coordinator…

To Gavyn wrenching away with the occasional dance break, Alex working his diagnostic magic (probably to a techno beat), and Big Bill quietly figuring out how to fix whatever gets put in front of him…

Then there’s Joe, rescuing stranded vehicles day and night — or catching some well-earned beauty sleep on the office bench. 😂

And last but not least, Little Bill, keeping the shop clean, helping the mechanics, hauling out overflowing garbage cans, and somehow accomplishing all of it while saying approximately 12 words a day. 😂🗑️🔧

Different personalities, different jobs, and definitely different levels of chaos — but every person you met plays a part in keeping this place running.

We hope you enjoyed getting to know the faces behind the repairs and meeting the people who make up the Wilke Automotive family. ❤️

We may give each other a hard time around here, but at the end of the day, this crew works hard, helps each other out, and does everything we can to keep our customers safely on the road.

So next time you stop in, you’ll know exactly who you’re dealing with…

The Boss Hog, the Chaos Coordinator, the dancers, the car wizards, the quiet ones, the tow-truck hero… and whatever else you want to call this crew. 😂

❤️🤍💙 THANKS FOR MEETING THE WILKE TEAM! ❤️🤍💙
