After your first service experience, you'll probably want to call them Michelangelo, or Leonardo, but here are our mechanics' real names and experience;

Norman Rutland, -Shop Owner

"When I was a teenager in Cinncinnati, Ohio, I figured out how to put a small block V8 into an Opel Cadet.  The first time I popped the clutch, the torque of that small block twisted the uni-body frame of that little Opel.  Since then I've been hooked on automobiles my whole life."  At an early age, Norman was exposed to the production of Pontiac Firebirds at the GM assembly plant in Norwood, Ohio. "I learned a lot just seeing how everything fit together.  It gives you a better perspective of every part's function within the complexity of the entire vehicle". After that he spent a few years selling Mack trucks then moving on to selling automobiles. "Norman puts incredible passion into everything he does.  From selling the car to now repairing them for 40 years now." Says fellow Pontiac dealer Bob Schoppert.   As Norman puts it "It is more than just fixing a car.  We want to solve problems. So many people fix something not addressing that there might be a larger underlying problem causing the need for the repair in the first place.  THAT's what we want to fix.  That's the way to truly repair something."
