Interested in a Career in the Auto Repair Industry?

Sherri Stock - Owner

My love affair with cars began in High School – the object of my affection: a beautiful, blue 1971 Chevy Nova Super Sport. I didn’t know it at the time, but my high school crush would turn into a life-long passion and a great career. After graduation, I enrolled in the Automotive Technology program at Southeast Community College, Milford Campus and was the second woman to graduate from the 18-month course. I also completed the Parts Management program. I worked my co-op quarter at Gotfredson Chrysler-Plymouth (which later became Russwood) then moved to Columbus and became the Parts Manager at the Dodge Dealer. After 3 years, I moved back to Lincoln and was with Gotfredson-Russwood until 2012. I started in parts as the Wholesale Parts Advisor and after a year moved into the Parts Manager position. In 1997, I became the Service & Parts Director. After Russwood announced its closing, I purchased all of the shop tools and equipment and decided it was time to open my own place. I invited Jared to be my partner and we haven’t looked back. It has been a very fulfilling experience and I’m looking forward to many more years in this ever changing industry.
