TAILORED CAR CARE, INC.
OCALA, FLORIDA

Don is a single father of two wonderful teenage kids and a Florida native that graduated from North Marion High School after becoming captivated with mechanics and diagnostic work under instructor Bob Phillips. He was awarded the Vocational Industrial Clubs of America’s state skills competition first and third place medals at the age of 16 and 17 for auto repair. He began working as an apprentice for Chevrolet, moved to Ford under Phillip Woods and then to the Marion County Sheriff’s Office fleet services. After that he branched out independently by founding Tailored Car Care where he did diagnostic work and repairs for various garages and customers. Clientele grew quickly and he leased a single bay of the current location working 6-7 days per week until he expanded by adding employees and purchasing the building that has been home since Feb 1992. Without a sign or advertising for over 20 years, quality work and customer referrals have kept us going. The majority of our business is diagnosis and analysis of electronics systems on cars. To stay current and fluent on this path, Don has continued education and been a part of the evolution of the modern car. From feedback carburetors to gas direct injected vehicles and Hybrids, he has acquired the skills and knowledge to diagnose the advancements required of a modern technician. Besides the automotive training he has also attended CFCC for Electronics Engineering and was self-taught in computer programming for automotive fuel and air delivery systems. He has earned more than 100 Certificates in various automotive courses and has been an ASE Master Mechanic for over 20 years. L1 Advanced Level diagnostic status was obtained early in his career and certificates and training were also added in welding, fabrication, and security systems.
