Our tires are not quite as impressive as this one, but we think you’ll like them anyway.

It’s hard to pick a favorite guy at the shop, because they are all so fun and likeable. But if someone made me choose, it would probably be Johnny. Or Kevin. Wait, no, Jeff. No, Johnny. Really. Heck, I don’t know.

I first met Johnny at a different auto repair shop in Smyrna that he was working at. He and Kevin were trying to sell me an air filter when I had my oil change. I remember thinking they would both be interesting people to know- they were both well spoken and clean cut, and Johnny with his compact, good looks and piercing eyes was the perfect foil to Kevin, tall and fair, handsome and very blonde.

Little did I know that about a year later, I’d be working with Kevin and about 6 months after that, I’d be working with Johnny as well. All of us at the shop would become friends, and all these years later, we’re still friends. I love that.

I had the guys fill out surveys about themselves, and true to form, Johnny had his done before I even walked out the door. Here’s what he had to say:

Are you married or single? Do you have any kids?

I’m single. I’ve got 2 daughters, one who just finished first grade and another who just finished Kindergarten.

Do you have any pets?

I’ve got three dogs.

What are your hobbies?

Music, and spending time with my girls. I also am a tattoo artist and I also love welding and fabrication.

How long have you been working on cars?

Since I was 9 years old.

Why did you go into the auto repair business?

I really love muscle cars, and other older vehicles. The first one I built was a ‘79 F-150.

What’s your dream car?

1970 Dodge Super Bee

What’s your favorite kind of car to work on?

I really like Chevies.

What’s your least favorite kind of car to work on, and why?

I can work on anything you put in front of me, but I’m not as much of a fan of Chrysler products. There’s something about the way they’re engineered that I don’t dig.

Come on in today, maybe Johnny will be the guy to work on your car!
