Happy National Donut Day 🍩 We support all forms of donuts around here.

Some are delicious.
Some are limited to 50 miles.

Hopefully the only donut you deal with is the edible kind.

Remembering and honoring those who gave everything.

Have a safe Memorial Day.

Hello everyone! We are closed until Saturday may 30th! Sorry for an inconvenience! If you need me my phone is still near me!

It’s Bike to Work Day.

Which feels slightly awkward for us, professionally speaking. Whether it’s four wheels or two — just get where you’re going safely. 🚲

So y’all know we just had a pretty serious DO NOT DRIVE recall hit a bunch of GM vehicles yesterday…

Mostly unrelated, BUT…

We almost cried scrolling past this one. 😭

📋 NHTSA Recall #: 26V291
Manufacturer: Fontaine Trailer Company

For about 0.2 seconds we thought Fontaine had gotten himself recalled.

Turns out it’s actually for:
• 2025–2026 Fontaine Fusion Flat Bed Trailers
• Main beams may crack
• Also a DO NOT DRIVE recall

Meanwhile our Fontaine is still kinda structurally sound and operating within normal specifications. Probably. Hey Fontaine, how you doin', buddy?

Carry on. 😂

Getting your vehicle back after a repair and hearing nothing unusual is a good kind of quiet.

There’s always a brief internal debate before rolling the window down.

“Will this help… or make everything worse?”
