Meet the Team
Anthony
Anthony is our shop foreman and our European vehicle specialist. Anthony has a very impressive background of military experience and auto repair shop experience. This makes him the perfect person to lead our team of technicians to success.
Anthony has years of experience working on all makes and models but prefers to work on BMW, Mini, Mercedes, and Audi. You will be hard-pressed to find a mechanic who knows your European vehicle more than him. He knows them and loves them. Anthony’s mechanic experience is expansive and impressive. He spent a lot of years working for dealerships before moving on to independent shops.
He spent many years working for Carleson Cadillac, Jerry Seiner Cadillac, Young Cadillac, and Freeway Cadillac. After that, he moved on to gain experience as a European mechanic. He spent years with BMW of Murray and Strong Porsche, Lotus.
Although he enjoyed the experience and training he received working for the dealerships, Anthony felt the culture of independent shops was a better fit for him. He moved on to spend years working for independent shops. He has gained experience working on all makes and models, but his passion is to focus on the European makes.
Now, on our team, he is the mechanic who gets the bulk of the heavy diagnostics on BMW, Mini, Mercedes, Audi, and Volkswagen. He has all the OE-level equipment to aid in diagnosing any issue you may be having.
Anthony also has a very impressive military background. He retired as a Master Sgt. in the US Army attached to The 52nd Support Division in EOD after 23 years. He has been all over the world protecting our families, including the Gulf, Desert Storm, Afghanistan, Syria, Bosnia, and much more. This experience really shaped Anthony as an amazing leader. He has two younger mechanics working for him at our shop who are lucky to receive his guidance.
If you get a chance to meet Anthony (Tony), shake his hand and thank him for all he has done for our country!
Brad
Brad is our lead mechanic in our auto repair shop. Brad has many years of experience and knowledge as a mechanic. We are able to utilize Brad to diagnose and repair anything we throw his way. He is extremely versatile with his skill set.
Brad has many years of working on all makes and models but specifically shines on our Asian Makes, including Subaru, Honda and Toyota. He is also the guy most commonly working on the trucks and SUVs you bring into us, including Chevrolet, GMC, Dodge, Ram, and Ford.
Brad has an impressive resume including mostly dealerships and some independent shops. We were lucky to get the chance to interview and hire Brad to be our lead mechanic in our shop a few years back. Our shop has grown by leaps and bounds since he joined our team of mechanics.
Brad’s experience at the dealer gained him a lot of knowledge working on Asian vehicles. He is one of the best I have met when it comes to Subaru, Honda, and Toyota. His dealer experience has also been very helpful on Hyundai, Kia, and Nissan vehicles.
Brad’s dealer experience also comes in very handy when working on your trucks and SUVs. He is well-versed in gas engines and diesel engines. He has experience with the big 3, including Chevrolet/GMC, Ford, and Dodge/Ram.
Now, as lead mechanic in our shop, he is often the one we dispatch engine problems like Cylinder heads, timing chains, timing belts and engine replacements. Brad shines on the bigger and more difficult types of repairs.
Once again, Brad’s versatility as a mechanic is very uncommon in our auto repair industry and really helps with our workflow. Having a mechanic who is happy to tackle any type of diagnosis and repair is a huge part of our recent success.
If you get a chance to meet Brad, he is an amazing mechanic yet a very humble man. This is another rare find in our auto repair community.
Ethan
Ethan joined our team in 2023. Ethan’s abilities as a mechanic are far beyond his years. Ethan has been lucky enough to apprentice with our shop foreman, Anthony for many years. His work ethic and humility make him the perfect candidate for Anthony to share his decades of experience with him.
Ethan has a fairly even balance of experience in independent shops and dealerships. The bulk of his experience came from another local shop that specialized in European makes before they sold the business. Ethan is well-versed in all makes and models but prefers BMW, Mini, Audi, Mercedes, and Volkswagen.
Ethan’s time working for one of the big dealers in our area exposed him to great factory training and procedures. Although I don’t agree with the way a lot of dealers treat their mechanics, they do have great training available.
Ethan’s time working for independent shops includes tire shops and general repair shops. This has allowed Ethan to gain experience on all the easy stuff like suspension repairs, alignments and brakes.
Ethan’s time apprenticing under Anthony has allowed him to gain an impressive amount of experience in all the more difficult repairs. Whatever your concern may be, Ethan will do a great job of diagnosing and repairing it. In the rare chance he is not 100% confident, he is lucky to have Anthony to help him out.

Garrett
Garrett has been on our team for nearly four years now. He currently works under our shop foreman, Anthony, as his apprentice. From day one, Garrett has been a great addition to our team.
Garrett has a humble and quiet personality, but anyone who spends time in the shop knows he has a great sense of humor and is always good for a perfectly timed joke. He fits our culture extremely well.
Garrett has been training closely under Anthony and has been exposed to a high level of European and import vehicle diagnostics and repair procedures.
Anthony has done a great job sharing his knowledge, and Garrett has done an even better job absorbing it. His growth over the last few years has been impressive.

Thank you, Garrett, for your hard work, your humility, and the positive attitude you bring to our team every day.
Wyatt
Wyatt is Brad’s apprentice and brings a fun, goofy energy to our shop every single day. He is always willing to jump in and take on whatever project is in front of him.
Wyatt is also the guy everyone counts on when it comes to helping move vehicles around the lot or getting a dead car pushed into position. He never complains and is always ready to help wherever he is needed.
Working under Brad has given Wyatt great exposure to all makes and models, especially our Asian vehicles like Subaru, Honda, and Toyota.
I can tell Wyatt is really absorbing everything the auto repair business requires, not just the mechanical side but also how the shop operates as a whole.
I believe Wyatt will be a great addition to this company long term, whether that ends up being in the shop or in the office one day.
Thank you, Wyatt, for always being willing to help with our marketing efforts and for letting me capture great content in the shop.

Zach
Zach joined our team alongside Robert after Robert accepted a position with us and personally vouched for Zach as his right-hand man from his previous shop. That was a very respectable move by Robert, and it has turned out to be an excellent decision for AB Hadley as well.
Zach has a great personality in the shop and carries himself with a respectful, hard-working energy every single day. He fits our culture extremely well.
I have personally watched Zach take on projects that were well outside of his comfort zone, under the supervision of Robert, and absolutely knock them out of the park.
Zach is learning all aspects of import and European vehicle repair, with a growing focus on Mercedes, Volkswagen, and other European makes.
As the Marketing Manager for AB Hadley, I’m lucky to be the occasional fly on the wall watching how these guys interact with one another. The level of respect they have for each other is very rare in any business, we are lucky to have such an amazing team of techs in the building.
Thank you, Zach, for your great attitude and your consistent hard work.

Robert has an impressive background working in both independent shops and dealerships. This wide range of experience has allowed him to develop a very advanced and versatile skill set.
Robert’s dealership experience gave him strong factory-level training, especially when it comes to Mercedes, electric vehicles, and modern diagnostic procedures.
His time in independent shops helped him become extremely adaptable, confident in tackling complicated repairs, and efficient when working on a wide range of import and European vehicles.
Robert is known in our shop for his work ethic, high energy, and approachable personality. His consistency and professionalism make him a great fit for our culture.
Robert has also put a lot of thought and effort into helping AB Hadley grow and better market to our community. His care for the business truly shows.

Gage is currently training under Ethan to learn AB Hadley’s processes and diagnostic procedures so his existing skill set aligns with how we deliver high-quality auto repair services to our customers.
Gage is familiar with domestic vehicle repair, including GMC, Chevrolet, and Ford cars, trucks, and SUVs.
He brings a strong work ethic and positive attitude to the shop every day, making him a great fit for our team and culture.
