Took our staff from Seattle, out to Albion and it was worth it. Classes were very informative and hands on. Larry and Patrick were exceptional. Mitchell does it right, from the pick up service at the airport to the accommodations. Highly recommend the experience.
Thank you Mitchell,

Joey is a great instructor, detailed but not pushy. He took the time to make sure we had a clear understanding of what we were doing…which is really hard for someone like me who is not mechanically inclined. I highly recommend attending the class and working with Mitchell. Patrick did a great job with filling my equipment order as well, it arrived in days, not weeks – thank you!
Thank you Mitchell,
