Morning, noon, or night – the Nussbaum shop runs ‘round the clock! Sometimes, it’s all hands on deck to finish a time-sensitive repair. Sometimes, it’s trying to fix a truck caught in a flood. And sometimes, it’s braving -25-degree weather to get a truck in a bay.
The shop team stays purpose-driven through it all – a true family environment where life gets shared, friends lend a helping hand, and yes – sometimes a few pranks get played. As mechanics, Michael Collins and Jake Gray have seen it all, and they consider the shop team a great group of guys to work with. They love what they do and know how to have fun while they do it!
Press play for a unique, behind-the-scenes look at the inner workings of Nussbaum’s shop.
