'A corner garagfe imagme Three years ago, it was just Rob Phillilps and about $200 worth of tools that began an auto repair business on Mary St. But last fail, and several em- ployees later, Phiulips opened a second location that's now -going str-ong on Warren Rd., just off, Hopkins St.. "We've got the corner garage image,"y explains Phillips of bis success. "Tbat's why I feel we got the edge over the other guys' people just don't know. " He says area growth has also helped. He figures that sales are il times greater now than when he first opened. "You wonder - where are al the people comingfrom?" says the 28-year-old Whitby native. "But the more I have to do, the happier I am. From day one, I've neyer had .a- day standing around."1 He's especially pleased to have recently obtained the Autopro franchise for Whitby.

Phillips says he used to get complaints from the Town about parking of vehicles on Ash St. near bis garage. He says the opening of bis second shop relieved that problem of over- crowding bis property on Mary St. He also says any image problem that may acompany the auto mechanic profession is fast disappearing. "Tbat's starting to dissolve qulte a bit - you can't fool the public." He maintains hel always give the best advice even if the news is more expensive than a customer would like to hear. 'il just say: "You can fix it the right way or you can fix it the cheap way", says Phillps. I"Like changing the oil filter but not the où, it's like washing your feet but flot cbanging your socks. ' He says his locations remain busy although a mild winter has meant a drop in customers.
