Memorial
Al Bast
(1950 – 2002) As founder of Al’s Automotive & Tire, Al started
performing automotive services from his home before opening the business
in 1981. Following his dreams and his faith in Jesus, he and his wife
Diane built a 4-bay facility and expanded it into a 9-bay facility in
1998. Al laid the foundations that the business continues to build on
today… customer satisfaction, skilled technicians, friendly, well
trained advisors, state-of-the-art equipment and unquestionable business
ethics.
As an
ASE Certified Master Tech, Al was a hands-on owner in the early years.
Their business continued to grow and he and Diane directed their efforts
on improving their management skills and business knowledge. In
2000, Al was diagnosed with cancer. For 2 years, he and Diane
fought the cancer while continuing to operate the business. In
2002, after 31 years of marriage and the blessings of 2 children, 5
grandchildren and a successful business, Al went home to be with the
Lord.
Instead of selling the business, as many in the industry expected, Diane
has continued to move forward in the same fashion that she and Al did
for years. She has since remarried and, with her husband Jim,
continue the traditions and build on the foundations that she and Al
started. To God be the glory!
