August Department of the Month – Drivers

In past months, our readers have met our Service Team and our Owner. Now it’s time to meet our Shuttle Drivers! These men take you home, take you to work, and bring you back to ArborMotion. Not only that, they also run important errands throughout the day so our techs have the right parts to make sure your vehicle is in top shape. 

This team is made up of three retirees, John Wagner, Steve Tinkle and Ed Sikorski.

John Wagner is a retired high school mathematics teacher! He has been with ArborMotion since 2014 and this is his first job in the automotive industry. John enjoys meeting and chatting with new people and being a driver. There’s never a shortage of friendly faces!

Steve Tinkle worked as an Information Technology professional, specializing in application/software development for 30 years. He was looking for a part-time job and ArborMotion was the perfect fit! His first job in the automotive industry was at thirteen years-old, working on broken lawn mower engines. He holds two college degrees from Eastern Michigan University: a bachelor’s degree in computer information systems; and a master’s degree in business.

Ed Sikorski is a retiree who wanted a part-time job and found the perfect fit with ArborMotion. Ed practiced law before joining us, and has been with us ArborMotion for two years. Ed’s favorite part of the job is engaging with all of our customers. He says the challenge is trying to navigate the construction and traffic in downtown Ann Arbor. When he’s not working, you can find him on the water! Whether it’s fishing, hunting, or relaxing with his four grandchildren, we’re sure that Ed finds way to enjoy his time off.

August Car of the Month – Steve Tinkle (motorcycle)

This month, we’re going outside of the box! We’re featuring a motorcycle! Our fellow shuttle driver, Steve Tinkle, owns the “Car of the Month”. 

Steve purchased his Kawasaki in the Spring of 2017. He grew up riding motor cross and street bikes. When he had kids, he put a pause on riding. When his kids grew up, Steve got the urge to buy another bike … and the rest is history! 

Kawasaki named this model, “Versys,” which stands for “Versatile System.” Steve says this bike lives up to its name! He uses this bike as a commuter bike but also loves to take it down twisty dirt roads and trails. The Versys can definitely bring out the bike lover in you! 

Steve’s best memory happened the first week he owned the Versys. He was riding down a road that was closed due to flooding – a stream had nearly flooded the road and was running across it for about two hundred feet. He decided to go for it and the gamble it paid off! The bike worked perfectly! 

The next time you visit ArborMotion look for Steve’s bike in the parking lot and feel free to talk to him! Motorcycles are definitely a different “species” around here, so getting to check one out is a treat!

Never Skip a Tire Rotation!

When it comes to basic car repairs, what’s the first thing you think of? Oil change? Topping off your fluids? Hopefully, what also comes to mind is tire rotation! Tire rotation is often skipped when people service their vehicles. We recommend not skipping this important step.
