Tim Suggs
“Some Guy Who Works Here”
Owner
Pronto Smart Choice ASE Master Automobile Technician of the Year
ASE Certified: A1-A9, C1, L2
Hey it’s Tim, “Turbo Tim” the proud owner of Turbo Tim’s Anything Automotive and the Pronto Smart Choice/ASE Master Automobile Technician of the Year! This guy loves helping people get their cars fixed at a reasonable price. Education opportunities are huge here, helping owners learn more about their cars helps them make good decisions for them and their cars. The goal is for customers driving out of the shop to feel good about their experience and enjoy driving their cars!
Despite his love of cars, commuting by bike to work is something he does whenever possible.
You’ll often hear his classic catchphrase, “DO IT BIG!!!” and the occasional comedic bellowing of an employee’s name. Some say the echoes of his booming voice ring through the halls of Turbo Tim’s Anything Automotive for hours, if not days, if not eternally, beyond the bounds of time and space. A truly majestic creature to behold!
Drive safe out there and have fun!!!
Rachel Grewell
Owner
PhD: Community Engagement
Rachel has a PhD in Sociology from the University of Minnesota focused on Community Engagement. Women’s workshops and community building events are the the kind of work that drives this she-beast. The only thing that can slow down this Supermom is her kryptonite, silly memes.
Tracy Molm
Mr. Manager
Tracy brings humor to Turbo Tim’s. If getting your car fixed isn’t funny, then what is?! She’s a friendly face, a serious community activist, and a big reason why this shop is running so smoothly today! What would we do without her? Probably crash and burn and cry for our mommies.
Dave Carlson
Shop Foreman/Lead Technician
ASE Certified: A1-A9, F1, L1-L3
What up? Dave here… to work on your car, your mom’s car, your brother’s car, your best friend’s car. All at the same time! Keep it in the family. Any family, really.
Seriously, this dude can fix anything and everything! Not only that, he’s the emotional leader of our tech squad, boosting and destroying egos as necessary! Go get em Dave!
Max Hazelmyer
Auto Repair Mechanic
ASE Certified: A1-A8
Max is the best and everything he does, he does to the MAX. He is our master here. He knows that scan tools can lie and scopes tell the truth. No, that’s not a stock photo of a handsome model, that’s the real deal! Max also smokes a classy pipe because he’s a classy guy, so stick that in your pipe and smoke it!
Sean Isaacson
Auto Repair Mechanic
ASE Certified: A1-A8
Sean lost his hand in a freak car repair accident, or was it an intense wrestling match? JK folks, he just looks handless because he’s going for that hard-to-reach bolt that will stop the rattle in your front end. Sean’s got skills, and two hands to prove it. Not that he needs hands, he can actually fix your car with only his feet! We asked him to just stick with the hands though because that’s kinda gross.
Nate Thill
Auto Repair Mechanic
ASE Certified: A1-A8
Nate has determination. He’s also basically Mr. Popular at the shop, all the homies like hanging in Nate’s garage bay at the end of a long day for some laughs and deep conversation. If Turbo Tim’s had a prom king, it would be this dude, no doubt about it!
He owns Lifted Optics a pretty sweet wood framed sunglasses company committed to sustainability. What a champ! Get some today!
Justin Kendall
Auto Repair Mechanic
ASE Certified: A4-A6, A8
Justin 2, Justin II, Justin Two… Justin Too! This guy works hard and cares about your car, what more can you ask for? He may be the second Justin to roll through the shop but he’s number one in our hearts, JK! all techs are equally loved here, to the maximum level! Justin also has the dopest beard in town, how can you beat that style? The answer is you can’t, don’t even try.
Mike Cornish
Auto Repair Mechanic
ASE Certified: A1-A8
Mernin!
Jaret Salmonson
Auto Repair Mechanic
ASE Certified: A1-A8
Jaret is cooler than the rest of us. He has a sweet motorcycle and likes to race cars. He’s definitely not a one-hit wonder though, he doesn’t just race cars, he fixes them too! Do yourself a favor and snag one of Jerry’s famous limited edition t-shirts.
Josef Wieber
Auto Repair Mechanic
Check out Weebz! He’s actually in a BAND! Look at him SLAP that bass!!! What’s the name of his band you ask? Socktopus is the name of this dude’s band! Huh? We’re not even gonna ask.
When Weebz isn’t on the stage rocking or in the shop wrenching, you’ll probably find him around the cities, enjoying live music to the MAX!!! We think that’s pretty rad.
Bob Phan
Auto Repair Mechanic
ASE Certified: A1-A8, X1
Bob Bob Bob. Bob Bobara Ann! Bob Bob Bob. Bob Bobara Ann! No, the Beach Boys didn’t write that awesome song about Bob, but he’s been in the biz for a long time, so you know he’s basically seen it all. He’s been a key player in getting our Midway shop up and running. Also, he’s daddy to a little princess! Good job, Bob!
Anthony Wang
Auto Repair Mechanic
ASE Certified: A4-A6
Anthony’s nickname totally isn’t Tony. Seriously, it’s not, so don’t even call him that. Anthony is one of our fastest growing young guns and drives a super sweet blue Supra, so he probably deserves more, even awesomer nicknames. Anthonysaurus Rex? Anthony the Magnificent? Anthony the Anteater? Yeah, those are pretty good.
Forrest Spille
Service Advisor
Rumor has it that I’m the longest tenured employee at Turbo Tim’s, but knowledge of my inception has largely been lost in the sands of time. Some of today’s leading auto repair historians believe I may have been working at Turbo Tim’s for up to 200 years, though evidence to support this claim is tenuous. Oh dude, check it out, I’m so cool, they made a t-shirt with my face on it. Limited Edition.
Martin Fossum
Service Advisor
Not to be confused with Martin Lawrence of the 90’s sitcom ‘Martin,’ OUR Martin is even funnier! He’s also a legitimate novelist, check out his catalog! That takes some serious talent and commitment!
He’s the man with the plan at the front desk of Turbo Tim’s. He’s got you covered.
Taylor Besser
Service Advisor
Some call him Taylor, some call him TayTay, either way, Tay makes your day! This guy is the nicest! Whenever Tim hears him talk to customers his heart just melts. Once he said he rode a bike but no one actually believed him so now he just spent his whole tax refund on a bike. We keep telling him you still got to ride the bike, but you’ll most likely find him cruising around Turbo Tim’s on one of the shop scooters.
Vanessa Lindsay
Receptionist
Meet Vanessa, she’s the ray of sunshine that greets all of our customers on the phone and in-person! That’s not all! We love her positivity and willingness to help care for (and play with) our kitty crews. If cats could vote (we’re working on it), she would be the president!
Nick Payne
Parts Manager
Nicholas or Nick, as you will, is hot off the service industry grill, masterfully switching gears to service writing and PARTS MASTER! He keeps Turbo Tim’s stocked and organized so the filters are on the correct shelf!
Kevin McGrath
Marketing Director
Heyo! Kevin has won a Nobel Peace Prize, a Pulitzer Prize, seven X-Games Gold Medals, EGOT, Super Bowl MVP, his fourth grade spelling bee, and tons of other sweet awards! He also made this website and wrote the bio you’re reading right now! Nice!
