Good afternoon, and Happy Father's Day to all the great dads out there.

This isn't goodbye—it's simply me taking a step back from running a complete shop on my own. The overhead of trying to afford rent while keeping pricing fair for my customers has become too much.

Unfortunately, I thought moving my business to a new location was going to work out for the best, but things turned south rather quickly. Between hitting the slow season, customers having trouble finding the new shop, and not being allowed to have signs visible from the street, the last three months have been extremely challenging.

Because of this, I'll be transitioning to side work and small local mobile repairs. With so many mobile mechanics already in the area, competition has become tougher than ever.

I will still be doing A/C work and tires at a private shop that I'm renting for my own projects and for select clients. I also still have vehicles to finish, so please don't hesitate to reach out. I'd love to help whenever I can.

I want to sincerely thank everyone who has supported me, trusted me with their vehicles, referred friends and family, and helped make this journey possible. Your support means more than you know.

This isn't the end—just a new chapter.

Thank you all.
