Shop Talk

Top Shop Challenge: We're in the middle of summer now. Does your shop have temperature control to keep the team cool? Do you do anything else to cool them down?

It is a hot one here in Virginia! We took a break on Friday to go pick up Sonic slushes for all my guys. Our fridge has been stocked with ice pops for our team. Keep taking breaks in the AC and keep cool!
