A New Year on the Road Ahead

Alternative Automotive • January 7, 2026

As we kick off 2026, we want to take a moment to slow down and reflect on why we do what we do.

We genuinely enjoy what we do because it lets us help our neighbors, our community, and the families who rely on their vehicles to get to work, school, practices, holidays, and everything in between. Every oil change, inspection, and repair is a chance for us to keep someone safe and confident on the road, and that never gets old for us.

A new year always brings fresh goals, new adventures, and a clean slate. As 2026 begins, we hope it’s a year filled with good health, smooth roads, fewer surprises, and lots of reasons to celebrate. No matter what the year brings, we’re proud to be the shop you trust and the people you count on when your vehicle needs attention.

Happy New Year in gold balloons

Thank you for supporting us, choosing local, and allowing us to do what we love. We’re excited for another year of serving you and look forward to everything 2026 has in store for all of us. Here’s to a safe, successful, and truly amazing year ahead.
