TWENTY YEARS ! Today marks 20 years of Right On Point Automotive ! Wow , what a journey it has been , started out on cottage street part time after working days at the dealer , I would come to the shop in salt point and Matt’s auto body would have mechanical work lined up for me to do when I got there out in the parking lot , I would work till the early hours of the morning most days to get the work done . That went on for about a month after I opened and then I couldn’t keep up with all the work as I started building a customer base. Started out with just a desk and one old inground lift , and my tool box . A lot of people doubted I would make it a year . But I used those haters as fuel to grow into an empire . I had more loyal customers and support of friends and family to thrive through all the hard times , even took it up a notch and opened up a second location ! The scans location was short lived but I will never regret the opportunity to give it a try ! In 2010 I decided to get my first tow truck , I’ve had 8 tow trucks since then , including purchasing a brand new freightliner rollback in 2017 . I can’t help but feel greatful for all my loyal customers who have trusted me for 20 years to service there cars and keep there vehicles safe . It’s because of all of you that I am where I am today! A lot has changed in 20 years , there been a lot of lessons learned , a lot of sleepless nights , a lot of good days with the share of bad days along the way , and a pandemic! I’ve always kept my old school values , take care of the people that will take care of you and promote you . I would like to thank my wife Katie Teal for standing by my side and supporting me as sometimes I’ve had to sacrifice family time for towcalls or working late to finsh up the work at the shop . My mother Lindy Teal who was my biggest supporter from the day I told her I was gonna open my own shop . My best friend Matt , who has also supported me since day one and still buys me coffee every morning while we discuss salt point politics ! Also thanking each and every customer past or present for supporting me and I grew more and more each year ! Thanks for help me making it 20 years strong as a small business !
