Auto Repair Shop Stays in Business by Educating Employees on Cost of Doing Business 

Let’s face it - going to an auto repair shop is a lot like going to the dentist.  You know you have to go once in a while, but there is always somewhere else you would rather be spending your time, and your money.

For auto repair shop owners, starting one can be difficult – many close within the first three to five years in business.  And, auto repair shops are one of the more regulated businesses in the U.S. today.

Sudley Car Care Center in Manassas is an exception to this rule.  The company, owned by Craig Ginther, and his wife Sandy, has been in operation for 23 years.  Today, the company has a roster of about 4,000 customers and has received several community awards for customer service and technical expertise.
