I’m at the shop for the 1st time since February , kind of an emotional time !!

04/11/2022

Due to health and financial situations I find myself in a position that I am going to close the shop . This is very difficult for me as February was 13 years at this location o my own . In the past it was just having to load my own tools if I made a change. I have some cores and hard parts , not a bunch . I will be selling some tools . Unfortunately I am just out of the hospital and in rehab , 32 days now . Feel free to call or text if there is any thing you are looking for .I will try to get a list of cores
Thanks , John. 817-688-5687

I have been having some health issues again . Back over the Labor Day weekend my left leg started swelling and hurting like heck . On Tuesday the Dr thought either a blood clot or cellulitis so the sent me for a ultrasound . Good news , no clot but the infection/cellulitis was killing me . They started an antibiotic and I got a shot in the backside three days in a row . I went back yesterday and he added another antibiotic and extended the other one . With a little help from some pain meds and the swelling going down a little I hope to be able to work , I haven't since last Monday . I want to thank my customers for being as understanding as they have been . Thanks to all John

Well 2019 has been a tough year for me . I have struggled with health issues that have slowed me down a bunch . I have to step things up if I am able . I wan't to thank all my friends and customers for continued business .

Well it's February 11th 2019 , I opened this shop 10 years ago today . It doesn't seem like 10 years , but then some days it feels like 100 . I started this with some help from Jake Hines and Limpy , a lot of help and patience from my wife Kim and the rest of the family , Jason (RIP) Richard Jordan Dylan .I have made a lot of new friends along the way . Friends have helped me a bunch with encouragement and referrals . It has been a struggle at times and I felt like giving it up . My health has been the biggest problem money is right behind it . Former employers such as Dan at Ray's transmission and Phoenix Transmission have sent , or referred a lot of work my way .There are other friends who have be both customers and have sent me referrals , Phillipe (Jr) Balderas Tony Zambino Mike Haggard John Bartlett Dan Zuefeldt and many more . I hate to leave people out as there have been many . If God sees fit that I keep this going I plan to give it my best effort . Thanks to all involved. Here's to another 10 years John W Orlando
