Mike came back to Tinley Tee in June of 2018 and has helped grow our team every day since his return. When Mike is not at work (which is rare), he enjoys spending time with his son, off roading, bike runs and working on vehicles. Mike is passionate about not only being a great father, but also being great as a professional. He builds trust with his customers by being thorough and communicating with them throughout each repair. He does the same with our employees which is what drives his success. He is continuously attempting to learn from every situation to improve himself. “Good enough” is truly Never “Good Enough” for Mike. We are so thankful and blessed to have a manager and team builder such as him.
