David Marks - I’ve been in Automotive since the late 90s and am a graduate of Ranken Technical College. I have experience working in Dealerships, Box Stores, Independent Shops, Auto Value Bumper Bumper Distributor. I started my business in my Backyard Garage 2010 working part time. 2011 I went full time in the backyard. In 2013 I got my dealers license. In 2016 I tried to get a loan to move out of my house and I got told NO! I then worked with SCORE to learn how to be a business owner, not just a backyard mechanic. April 2019 I opened my brick and mortar, a 3 bay shop. Now I have 3 full time employees! I moved reconditioned used cars back to the backyard garage. I’m passionate about helping other techs who want to own their own business!
