AIR CONDITIONING SPECIAL FOR MAY

During the Month of May, Jon's Truck Repair is running an air conditioning special. This special includes checking all exterior components for mounting, rubbing and leaks. Checking air conditioning operation and pressures. Replacing interior air filter (if needed) all for just $45. Come in to Jon's Truck Repair and BE COOL this summer. We are at the intersection of Depot and Badger, North of Homestead in Lynden. (filter price not included)

SERVICE SPECIAL

It has been a long while since I've written and we have added a couple of things since October. We have hired another employee in March which makes 2 employees, Jon and myself.

Plus we have put a new item to the services we provide. There is now an item called the Service Special that we have started. This is a lube, oil, filter plus check the fluids all the $179.00. Now from what I've been hearing that is a GOOD deal.

If you'd like to find our more give us a call at 318-1648 and we'll be happy to help you.

Troubleshooting Trucks

What exactly is a troubleshooter? In Webster's Dictionary it states a troubleshooter as "one whose work is to find and repair or eleminate mechanical breakdowns and other sources of trouble." When we have trucks that come in the shop, people will explain it as doing something "it wines in the front, it makes a clunck in the rear end". It is then our job to decipher the customers description to determine what the actual problem is.

Jon has a great ability of figuring truck problems out. What is his secret you ask? Jon says it is having access to factory training (OEM), years of experience working on large trucks and being a little stubborn, as well. These traits make him into a great troubeshooter. If you have a problem with your truck and need troubleshooting done, call Jon at 318-1648.

Ups and Downs in Trucking

Here it is fall again and we are getting to our slow time. Oh, we still have trucks in the shop but not like we did in the summer. This is always a worrisome time for me...will we make enough money to pay our employees, will we have enough business, have we made someone mad that they're not coming back now, little things like this. At the same time, I think of how wonderfully great my God is and how he can provide everything that I need. And He always does. So this falls inline with my last post, 3 months ago, that I have to keep the faith. Thanks for listening!

Keeping the Faith

Well, a lot has changed since I last wrote. My cousin decided that this wasn't the place he needed to be and decided to go back to SD. I am proud of him for coming out here and checking it out. Since then we have hired 2 people, one intern and one mechanic and so far it's working out. But my question is, when you have hired people, why doesn't the work stay consistent? I need to believe and trust in God in this area. I think, is there more that I can do? Should I be advertising more and sending out more mailers? Is that even working? Then I think maybe it's because the for sale sign is posted in our yard? Or maybe it's the time of year, right before the fair? Or maybe it's because......So many questions and not a lot of answers. That is why I need to trust God and know that He has it all planned out just as it's supposed to be. I believe that is called faith!

Employee has been found!!!

We have been looking high and low for an employee and have finally found one. My cousin, DJ from South Dakota, is going to come out here for the summer. He has been laid off for a few months now and hasn't been able to find any work. He is a welder by trade and a hard worker and I'm confident that he will be able to work with us. He'll be here the week of the 22nd and we are very excited. Can't wait for you to meet him!!

Working while in pain

I have been dealing with a shoulder pain for the last week and a half and it is irritating! I know that I need to be at work, happy and ready to deal with the issues at hand, but it's tough when you don't feel 100%. My friend has MS and she is in constant pain, and I don't know how she deals with that. I have been looking for any relief that I can find. I decided to try a naturopath after all, I have been doing almost everything else; massage, chiropractor, tylenol, whatever I could do. I went on Monday and his practices are DEFINETLY different. But at this point, I don't care as long as I get some relief. Today I'm feeling pretty good but I don't want to jinx it since yesterday, I would not have said that. I'm better able to deal with customers and vendors when I am feeling good. I hope it continues to get better...say a prayer for me! Thanks
