Meet the Manager

Larry R.

Manager

Like many of our managers, Larry’s first car, a 1972 Dodge Duster, easily slid into that muscle car category. Even though the Duster came with a pretty hefty V8, Larry decided to add some personal performance upgrades that included a new set of exhaust headers, rear racing slick tires and wheels and significantly smaller diameter front wheels and tires. Larry stated «it definitely had that funny car look to it.» The biggest problem that Larry had with the 245h.p. V8 engine was the timing chains. This eventually led Larry to abandon the muscle car and hop into a little 1980 MG convertible. After the Duster he never had an issue with timing chains. Before the MG he never had an electrical issue.

As with many local kids, Larry attended Arizona State University. After graduating with a business degree he was promptly recruited by Goodyear Corporate as an Assistant Store Manager. In just 11 months, Larry’s automotive knowledge and customer service skills helped promote him to a Store Manag
