Darren Fischer
Darren Fischer is the owner and Shop Manager. Communicating with and scheduling customers, ordering parts, troubleshooting problems, and directing employees are all currently handled by Darren. As the company grows, the goal is to hire a parts manager to take that part of the job from Darren so he can focus on customer relationships and overall operations management. Darren's experience and knowledge are invaluable and make it impossible for him not to be an essential part of the day-to-day mechanic work in the shop. Teaching our employees is an essential aspect of his job that will never be delegated entirely.
