Michael Shelton
Michael was a tire technician in his early years graduating up to being a Recon Tech for multiple dealerships.
Michael helped build Hill Climb cars on the weekend and states that he can build or repair ANYTHING as long as it's metal.
When Michael was younger he didn't care anything about cars.....
Just look at him now!

Dan Stewart
When Dan started driving he pretty much had to learn to work on vehicles or he wouldn't have had anything to drive.
Dan and his wife use to do desert racing where he built, maintained and co-piloted their RZR XP1000.
Dan is a single below knee amputee and even with getting older he stays very active.
I'm sure if you ask him he can probably do a mean Irish Jig

Strummer
This is Strummer. He's the shop dog. He loves keeping everyone entertained and barking at us if we are not giving him enough attention or enough treats. As his dad is Gregg, he, too, loves taking naps! Strummer is a vital piece of the shop.
When he doesn't come in we all know it. It's just too quiet.
