Gene Southall: The owner of the Auto Shop. Like other business owners, he wears many hats. Gene has been repairing vehicles most of his life. He has built race vehicles, worked for Ford, AMC & GM and the last 40 years has been an independent repair shop owner. He has many certifications, including his ASE which he received in 1972. He has and continues to take master tech courses when available. He started the shop with the mind set of a customer- mechanic relationship where the customer is able to talk to the mechanic. His main responsibility is to over-see the work in the shop and maintain quality control. Also, he has to keep up with automotive computer knowledge and assist the other mechanics with their work and normal day to day business activities. Gene feels although todays vehicles are hi-tech and more complicated than their predecessors, they do a fine job. Bottom line, yesterday's vehicles are fun, todays (smart cars) vehicles are very dependable and help clean the air.
