These people have been instrumental to the success of Childs Automotive. Without them, we would not be the business we are today. Thank you both for all of your help and support!
Laura is Gary's wife and accountant. Her help and support has greatly helped Childs Automotive to grow into the successful business it is today. She also has her own "Personal Chef" business at  InPerfectThyme.comex.htm

Irvin is a good friend of Gary's. During Childs Automotives first year, Irvin went to the shop every morning to help Gary (not bad for 82 years young!) His help and kind words of encouragement are always appreciated.
