March 2025 - Manager's Minute | Chickasaw Garage

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

April is here, and we are ready for sunshine, fresh starts, and spring energy. Thank you for trusting Chickasaw Garage. We appreciate you and look forward to a safe, fun, and exciting spring ahead!

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! 🎆

To all our customers, employees, friends, and family — thank you for making this such a wonderful and blessed year. Here’s to good health, more laughter, and great memories in 2026!

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.
