After about a year and a half with the company we recently lost Jay my trusty office helper. Known to many of you as Adictd2b00st, Jay has decided to leave the automotive industry to pursue a career in Information Technology. That being my field of schooling I’m familiar with what he’ll be up against in the work world and I wish him the best of luck. Thank you for all your help while you were here! Stepping into Jay’s role is another local mainstay in Joe Skorupa, or as many of you know him, Jskrapper. With 10+ years of parts counter experience at Napa and several years of working on DSMs under his belt, Joe brings even more experience to the Innovative Tuning team and we’re excited to have him. ---
