I've been quiet on here for far too long. First off, I want to thank everyone for supporting me over the last 7 years. I've been part-time for the last 4 years, but things have changed and I'm excited to announce that I will be moving the shop into D's Auto on December 1st. Doug and Dale have built an amazing reputation within the communities and set a high bar for quality and customer service, something I've tried to emulate since I've started and will continue in this journey. On January 1st, 2026, the name will change to B's Auto as Chris Blocker and I continue to build on that same reputation.

I apologize for being silent for so long. I moved my shop went to part time just over a year ago after accepting a position to be a fleet mechanic for Hardons. I would like to thank the community and all of my customers for the overwhelming support over the years. I’m still offering the same services, a/c recharge/repair being the biggest thing right now. I had to get rid of my shop phone line as it was just to much call volume to manage. If you are needing anything you can contact me through messenger as it’s much easier for me to manage, and I will do the best that I can to help anyone in need. Thanks again!

As long as I am healthy I will remain open with normal operating hours. I prefer to do more scheduling via calls or messaging to limit face to face contact to try and remain healthy. I’ve checked with my parts suppliers and there is no sign that I will have any problems getting parts any time soon so I will still be able to take care of my customers to the best of my ability! Huge thank you to all of my customers! Be safe and stay healthy!
