AUTOMOTIVE SERVICE TECHNOLOGY

Have a back bone not a wish bone.
Autograph your work with quality.
Every job is a self portrait of those who did it.
Look at life through the windshield not the rear view mirror.
The difference between ordinary and extraordinary is just that little extra.
The surest way to go broke is to sit around and wait for a break.
You have to wake up in order for your dreams to come true.
You always pass failure on the way to success.
It's better to be trusted than liked, Underpromise - Overperform.
A person of words and not deeds is like a garden full of weeds.
