He’s a very strong family man and that transcends to his business. Joe believes in strong relationships with his customers, suppliers, and all that work with and for his business.

Joe credits his involvement with RLO Bottom Line Impact Group, for the last 5 years, as a strong and important business partner.

He loves technology and is proud to say he has the latest diagnostic scan tools because he never wants to send his problems to the dealer.  I70 is a 7 bay, 6 lift facility with 3 techs with two service writers. The annual estimated volume in 2015 is $1,000,000.
