Students will have the opportunity to work in a large automotive shop furnished with equipment and tools. This is a preparatory class and is geared towards individuals that want a career in the field. This program is not recommended for the weekend hobbyist due to its technical nature and structured curriculum. Contact us if you have any questions.

We are a dedicated team of Auto Repair Specialists. We take pride in the service and products we provide. Our core values are Reliability, Empathy, and Integrity. @ B & B we fix you vehicle and ease your mind one part at a time. 

I help independent repair shop owners get more value from their software, improve daily workflow, and turn missed opportunities into profitable work.

With more than 40 years of small business management experience and hands-on experience helping shops implement and use Mitchell1, I understand that buying software is only the beginning. The payoff comes when your people, processes, and tools work well together.

My approach is straightforward: listen first, find the friction, and build a practical solution that works for the owner, the staff, and the customer.
