Drew fixed my accord! I had been two other shops, and had two wheel bearings replaced. The car was thumping intermittently while I was driving. It would also vibrate badly when the noise happened. No one could find the problem. Drew found the drivers side, back caliper frozen. He said this caused the brake disk to get hot and warp. That is what caused the thumping. He replaced the caliper while I waited, and the noise is finally gone. I will take both my Honda and my wife's Mdx to the pit shop from now on.

Drew worked as a used car technician while going to school, which led to an internship at a local Acura dealer in December of 2004, where he became an Acura-Certified Master Technician in a year. He used the next few years to fine-tune his craft and left the dealership in 2009 to pursue his own ambitions. In 2010, Drew opened The Pit Shop in Libertyville.
Drew attributes his hard-working, never-say-die attitude to his luck at being handy with machines and desire to be a good provider for his wife and two children.
