Hard to believe we’ve flipped the calendar to a brand-new year already! 🎉 As I look back on 2025, I’m filled with a ton of gratitude. To our amazing clients who kept us busy all year long, to the vendors who bailed us out more than once, and to my incredible team and family—you truly kept the wheels turning here at Chickasaw Garage. 🚗🔧
In November, we had one of our best team outings yet. We hit up Shots Taphouse, played some video games (some of us are more “competitive” than others 👀🎮), watched a little football, and then wrapped up the day with some excellent Mexican food. 🌮 Great laughs, great memories, and only a few questionable high scores.
On the home front, we ended the year with some exciting family news—Jackson is officially engaged to Hannah Weigel! 💍 Looks like I’ll be welcoming a new member into the family, and I couldn’t be happier.
Normally, this time of year I’m talking nonstop about high school bowling, but things look a bit different in 2026. Neither of the boys are bowling on high school or college teams right now… but they are coaching together for the St. Henry Junior High program. 🎳 Watching both of them coach side-by-side makes me one proud dad—even if I still miss yelling “pick up the spare!” from the bleachers.
As we kick off 2026, I want to thank every one of you—our customers, vendors, team members, and community—for supporting Chickasaw Garage. Here’s to another year of hard work, good people, full schedules, and hopefully fewer broken bolts. 😉
Happy New Year from Ted Heitbrink and the entire team at Chickasaw Garage! 🎆
