The first smiling face you'll see upon entering the Ballas Service Center is vivacious Mary Jo Lompis. Mary Jo is dedicated to serving her customers, and she does it with energy and enthusiasm. You may receive a call from Mary Jo reminding you of your service appointment or checking to see if your service repairs were done to your satisfaction; and she will probably answer the phone when you are calling to book a service appointment. We know you will enjoy working with her.

Mary Jo came to Ballas in 2008 after having spent many years in children's day care and extended care programs. However, when asked what she is most proud of in life, Mary Jo responds quickly, "First of all, my son Adam, but secondly being given the opportunity to learn a new job in a totally new industry". Mary Jo loves people and loves to talk to people. Her friendly demeanor makes quick friends. Mary Jo's sister, Jackie comments, "Mary Jo, you talk to everyone and they talk to you. I think you could make a Monk talk". Now that is charisma!

In her spare time, Mary Jo enjoys action movies and crossword puzzles, but most of all sports, especially the New York Yankees and the Chicago Bears. When asked if there is something that people don't know about her, she replies, "People know everything about me because I love to talk to people and I have no secrets. The only thing that might qualify as a secret is that I was stood up for my senior prom, but now I think it is funny", she adds. We think her date was the loser because spending any amount of time with Mary Jo is fun and energizing. We are proud to have her serving our Ballas service customer!

If anyone could write the book on how to live the storybook life, it would be John Welter. John grew up in West Toledo graduating from Whitmer High School in 1978. He then enrolled at Owens Community College and received an Associates Degree in Automotive. Shortly thereafter, he married his wife, Donna. During their nearly thirty year marriage they have had three children, Andrew, Aaron, and Alissa. The family belongs to Christ the King Parish in West Toledo. John, Donna and the kids spend a lot of time together. They all enjoy water sports during the summer months at their cottage on Little Long Lake near Camden, Michigan. Another family hobby is house remodeling. John and Donna are avid fans all the home remodeling shows. They then use their skills to buy, remodel, and sell or rent their handiwork. The whole family gets involved; they have fun and they make a little income. Like we would expect, John says what he is most proud of in his life are his kids. "As I watch them grow, I am always amazed and realize how much I would have missed had I not had children". John also says that what he likes best about his job are his co-workers. He says, "We can do this kind of work anywhere, but these friendships and being with these guys that I have worked with for so many years is what it is all about". At Ballas, we think being with a solid and honorable person like John is what it is really all about. "In the years I have worked with John Welter, he has always shown professional demeanor", says Marianne Ballas. "John is highly productive service technician and he has a great outlook on life", she adds. Thanks John for all the great years of excellent work and friendship!
