Happy Birthday Rob!

It's time to celebrate another birthday with our Team! Watch a video of our celebration! Rob started working with our team in 2016, during the process of building our new shop in Graham, WA. Rob had already been working alongside us as one of our vendors. He decided to take the leap to the other side; he joined us when we were working in a temporary building down the street. We are thankful for all of the dedication and passion that Rob brings to our Team at Graham Auto Repair! He is always ready to learn new technology. Whether it's traveling to another shop to learn a new computer system, or training in Baltimore with ATI (Automotive Training Institute). Rob isn't afraid to take on new challenges! Rob grew-up in Washington State. As one of our Veterans at Graham Auto Repair, Rob served in the United States Army. He has been working in the Automotive Industry since 2009. Rob and his fiance have a beautiful baby boy that we welcomed to our family in 2021. Ch ... read more
