This is Rob Brough, Zions Bank, speaking on business.

Mark Gines is a strong believer in the idea that proper maintenance can eliminate 50 percent of car repairs. Customers of his Kearns auto shop, Gines Service, appreciate this philosophy, which is probably part of the reason the company is celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2010.

Clyde and Beva Gines started the business in 1960. It was originally operated in two locations as Clyde's Chevron and Gines Service. Clyde's son, Mark, became a partner and the operator of Gines Service when he graduated from high school in 1976. Later, in 1983, Clyde closed Clyde's Chevron to focus solely on Gines Service. He retired in 1991 and now Mark runs the business on his own after purchasing it from his father.

Today, Gines Service provides a wide variety of services, from tires to alignment to oil changes. The business specializes in advanced electrical and technical diagnosis. Some of its services include license and registration and emails reminding customers when it's time to service their vehicle. All technicians are ASE certified and receive ongoing monthly training as well as AC Delco Certified and AC Delco training through Weber State University.

Mark says AC Delco has recognized Gines Services as TSS Accounts Technical Service Center – a significant distinction. Mark feels lucky to be a certified AC Delco service center because it requires following quite a few rules and regulations as well as having specific equipment and extensive ongoing training. AC Delco offers a comprehensive U.S.-wide warranty on all of its products, so if the part fails for some reason, they will tow the client's vehicle free of charge.

Mark's son, Chad, is also involved with the business and will likely be leading Gines Service into its third generation of family ownership. Mark plans to continue following the latest automobile technology and offering the same personalized service. His honest technicians thrive on resolving customers' automobile concerns.
