Exclamation It's that time of year again..
We are cleaning up the shop a little bit and I figured I would snap some pictures for you guys to look at while at work. Enjoy!







P.S. Don't worry about that black C5Z on the lift.. it's just getting a CAI

That is by far the DIRTIEST shop I've seen. How can you work in those conditions. The floor needs a TON of bleach.

We haven't had a chance to bleach the floors because the shop has been filled with cars.

Not yet. As you can see, it will take a lot of elbow grease to get the back of the shop looking how I want it to.

Yes. The customer bent a few valves so he brought it back to us for repairs and some upgrades.

We painted our floors a few years back but the paint is coming up. We plan to strip them and re paint them soon. Just degreasing them and power washing until then.

Not to be a Dick but I hope you are recovering when you pressure wash. I'm not sure if your area is City of Houston, we had a contractor pressure washing our parking garage and he got a 10k fine for letting the water go in the storm water drains without recovering it.

I know everyone does it but becareful...

I can't say **** about the shop, Mine looks Horriable!
