June 2026 - Manager's Minute | Chickasaw Garage

May 27, 2026

June is here, and you can feel summer starting to hit its stride! Between graduations, weddings, ballgames, and vacations, life gets busy fast—and honestly, that’s the good stuff. We love seeing our community out enjoying everything this time of year has to offer.


First off, congratulations to all the graduates! 🎓 That’s a huge accomplishment, and we’re excited to see what’s next for each of you.


With Father’s Day coming up, we’ve got something fun going on at Chickasaw Garage. We’re doing a Father’s Day Giveaway, so make sure you get signed up! You can find the Google entry link right on our Facebook page—quick and easy to jump in. ‍👨‍🔧🎁


Speaking of family, our crew is really looking forward to spending more time together this summer. For me personally, that means getting out to the campground with Stacey and the kids whenever we get the chance. There’s just something about slowing things down a bit, sitting around a fire, and enjoying time with family and friends that makes this season special.


We’re also proud to support Rossburg Acres Party with a Purpose. We have golf cart raffle tickets available right here at Chickasaw Garage, and it’s a great cause. All the proceeds go toward helping local families who are facing tough situations, especially those dealing with serious medical needs.


And the prizes are worth it 👇


🏌️Golf cart

🚗Set of 4 tires + alignment from Chickasaw Garage

🛠️Milwaukee tool set (donated by Fort Recovery Lumber)

🪑Poly chairs from the committee


It’s a great opportunity to support the community and have a chance to win something pretty awesome.


As summer travel ramps up, don’t forget—heat is tough on vehicles. A/C systems, batteries, tires, and cooling systems all get put to the test. If you’ve got trips planned, now’s the time to make sure everything is ready to go so you can focus on enjoying the ride, not worrying about it.


Give us a call or text at 419-925-4329, or schedule online anytime at chickasawgarageinc.com

Let’s make it a safe, fun, and memory-filled summer. ☀️🚗


Sincerely,

May is always a busy and exciting month here at Chickasaw Garage! We want to start by wishing a very Happy Mother’s Day to all the amazing moms out there, especially my mom Marian, my wife Stacey, and our service advisor Renee. We appreciate everything you do every day! 🌸 We’re also having some fun with our Mother’s Day Giveaway, so be sure to check out our Facebook page and get signed up! 🎁 We’re also proud to share that our Brakes for Kids promotion was a huge success this year. Thanks to the incredible support from our customers and community, Chickasaw Garage will be donating over $3,000 to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. That’s something we can all feel really good about. ❤️ With graduation season here, we want to congratulate all the local graduates and wish you the very best in your next chapter. 🎓 And with Memorial Day at the end of the month, we also want to take a moment to remember and thank all the brave men and women who have served and sacrificed for our country. As summer travel season starts to ramp up, now is a great time to get your vehicle checked over before you head out on vacation. A little planning now can help avoid unexpected surprises later and make sure there’s plenty of time if anything needs attention. Think of it as cheap insurance for your road trip fun! 🚗☀️ As always, thank you for trusting all of us at Chickasaw Garage. We truly appreciate the opportunity to serve such a great community. Sincerely, Ted Heitbrink

March is here, and this is the final month for Brake for Kids. We’d love to finish strong and raise some great money for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

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! 🎆

As we head into November, we want to take a moment to wish all of our customers, friends, and families a very happy and safe Thanksgiving. This season is always a reminder of how much we have to be thankful for.
