You should watch the Interview we did with Chase. It's a cool story how he got started and built his business to what it is today.

But, here's the cliff notes if you don't feel like watching it.

*Chase got a finance degree and worked for a nursing home company but he enjoyed flipping Toyotas for the hobby and extra money.
*He quit the finance gig and was solely flipping Toyotas for income.
*Saw a local mechanic shop ran by a father and son that needed help and worked there as a mechanic for 2 years becoming an ASE Certified Master Technician.
*Opened his own mechanic shop and worked on all makes and model vehicles.
*Realized specializing in something was the way to go and saw nobody really specialized in building differentials.
*Started East Coast Gear Supply out of a one-bay shop in a crappy neighborhood.
*Expanded into neighboring shop space in the same complex as he grew and started hiring more people.
*His current location in Louisburg is his 4th major move to a different facility.
*His current facility is 100,000 square feet and he employs anywhere from 45-50 people.
*Toyota is around 30% of his business. They ship out around 13 Toyota diffs everyday.

Chase is a Toyota guy through and through so even more reason to like the guy.
