Meet the team that makes it all happen at wayne’s automotive

With over 34 years in the automotive industry, Tony is passionate about providing excellent service. For Tony, the best part about working at Wayne’s (he’s been there seven and a half years), is the atmosphere and how everybody gets along. He was born in St. Mary’s Hospital while his wife was born in nearby Renown. They are the parents to two boys. Tony’s first car was a 1977 Toyota Corolla that he bought from a guy in high school. Not his favorite car, but it did get him from point A to point B.

With over 20 years experience in the automotive industry, Damien has been with Wayne’s Automotive since 2012. The team-oriented environment keeps him coming back. On a personal note, he has a daughter and granddaughter and has lived in Nevada all his life. His first vehicle was a 1975 Dodge B250 old van which he bought from a friend for $50. Since it had a blown-out motor he went to the junkyard to find another motor. He bought one for $350. A month later, his $400 initial investment paid off, the van was up and running. He was one of those kids that enjoyed taking things apart and putting them back together again. Damien was born for a career in the automotive industry.

Since 2000, Marc has been involved in the automotive industry. He got his start in an unexpected fashion. After an argument, his mother put sugar in his dad’s gas tank. It was a 1980 Chevy Citation and his dad, who was also a mechanic, told him if he fixed it up, he could have it. Because Marc had grown up around cars and his dad was willing to share his knowledge, he took the challenge to heart. While the two-door Citation looked fast with its cal induction hood, it wasn’t but he had fun driving it around. That was his introduction to the automotive industry and he hasn’t looked back since. He has been at Wayne’s since 2015 and likes the environment of taking care of customers and being part of a team that is in turn taken care of by management.

Stacy is a big part of that welcoming atmosphere that greets you when you walk in the door of Wayne’s Automotive. She has been part of the team for six years and has lived in Nevada 21 years. She and her husband have three boys. For Stacy, the best part about being at Wayne’s is every day is different and there is never a dull moment. And by the way, she says the guys are great to work with. Her first car was an older white Volkswagen Scirocco with a stick shift that she received from her parents.

Of the 42 years Allen has been in the automobile industry, 24 of those years has been at Wayne’s. What’s kept him at Wayne’s Automotive for this long? He likes the people he works with and is not a big fan of change. Allen is a loyal employee and has only had three jobs in his life. His father was also a mechanic and owned his own shop. He has been married for 38 years and has three sons and three daughters along with seven grandchildren. His first car was a 1967 Chevy pickup that needed a motor. Being thrifty and practical, he used what was available and took the motor from a Jaguar sitting in his dad’s backyard and put it in the Chevy pickup that he eventually raced at Pike’s Peak. Now that’s innovation.
