Montgomery County vehicle shop overburdened and growing
The Rockville maintenance shop at 1283 Seven Locks Road struggles to service 650 police cruisers and 2,000 county vehicles. Lead mechanic Sharvan K. Sawhney says space, parts, and a heavy workload slow repairs, with up to weeks to fix some cars. A new $7 million Gaithersburg facility and a $160,000 parts system aim to boost efficiency, while a four-year apprentice program seeks local mechanics.
