He expanded from a 40 by 48 foot shop to add 50 by 40 and 56 by 21 foot sections for mechanical repairs, body work, and painting. Now seven workers handle servicing seven days a week, with modern equipment for diagnosis, wheel alignment and headlight adjustment, plus towing service. The overhaul aims to finish within a month.
