“Having an accident with one of your most valuable possessions is a very traumatic experience”, says collision center manager, Dave Garrett. “After an accident, people feel like they have lost control and they don’t know where to turn. What I love about my job and this business is helping people restore their lives and their vehicle”, he adds.

Dave is a natural in his position. He became an Eagle Scout at age 16, and the scouting mottos of Helping other People at all Times, Serving with Honesty and Integrity, and Being Prepared are lessons that he incorporates every day in the collision business. “Dave is a person of character and is a great compliment to our management team and our organization”, says Marianne Ballas.

In his youth, Dave was a photographer but found his way to working in dealerships long ago. Dave and his wife, Barb have six adult children who are pursuing college and careers. With all that spare time (ha ha) they manage their farm. Dave still enjoys photography. He and his wife also foster dogs for a local rescue.
