We would like to congratulate Gary Merical in his recent promotion to Manatts Tire Shop Manager.  Gary started his new duties on July 19, 2004, and his head has been spinning ever since!  Along with learning his new responsibilities, he’s been adapting to his new shop, familiarizing himself with the computer, and has discovered what we office people do best, PAPERWORK.  Gary has worked for Manatt’s since April 17, 1978, as a mechanic in the Brooklyn shop so he does have the advantage of knowing his co-workers and understanding what Manatts is all about.

As manager of the tire shop, Gary hopes to simplify the paperwork, involve the guys in the shop more in the office duties, and be comfortable in his new position a year from now!  He hopes everyone will be patient while he’s in the learning process and is very thankful to Marty, Chad, and Rick for all their help whenever he’s asked for their assistance.

    Gary and his wife, Linda, live in Brooklyn and have four children; Tim, Molly, Kayla, and Ashley and also have nine grandchildren.  In his free time, he enjoys hunting, fishing, camping, and woodworking.

    If you get to Brooklyn, make sure to stop in and say “hi” to Gary and wish him well in his new position!
    Congratulations, Gary!!
