You don’t see many
shops online with an "About Us" page. However, we feel
that it is important for our customers to know about
us, and understand the kind of service that we can provide
for you. We are two brothers, Chris and Patrick Cloutier.
We have decided to build a business around outstanding
customer service with unparalleled quality service.
Pat Cloutier - Technician
Pat
is a master certified technician who has been working
in the industry for over 20 years. Pat knows what it
takes to keep a car running. Unlike many mechanics who
are basically "parts changers", Pat uses an engineering
understanding to trouble shoot and repair cars. The
result is savings in the customer’s pocket.
Pat is a family man with 6 children. He’s a great Dad
and brings the same kind of caring that he has for his
children into his work life. Feel free to walk to the
back of the shop and ask what he is doing to your car.
He will give you all of the information you need. You
might even ask him about music (He plays the bass guitar.)
or about his kids, or challenge him to a game of chess
(He loves games, especially chess.), though you might
prefer to wait until he has finished with your car.
Colin Watson - Customer Service
Colin
is the face of the company, or at least the face, and
voice you will hear the most when calling or stopping
by Lonestar Auto Repair. Colin knows the service industry
including bar tending, and his last stint in radio as
a promotions manager. It was destiny for him to come
work for us after these last few years of working for
the classic rock station Lonestar 92.5!
Colin doesn't have any children yet, but loves his nieces
Emma and Claire, and the good thing is he gets to leave
them with mom and dad when they get cranky. Colin also
is a musician, drummer, who has played in just about
every one of Chris' bands. And Colin likes to get together
with his father once a week and play racket ball. If
you ask Colin about anything, it better be Cowboys,
the Dallas Cowboys that is! Oh and ask him about his
Dallas Cowboys art collection, it is VERY interesting.
Scott Gagne - Technician
Scott
has been around this shop for a while as a technician,
but he is new to our family! Scott fits right in with
his dry (and I mean desert dry) sense of humor. Luckily
everyone here grew up on late night channel 13 T.V.
including Monty Python and Benny Hill (You don't get
much drier then that).
Scott is happily married to Sarah, and
has 4 boys he is trying to raise up to be men, and carry
their weight much like their papa. Scott is really good
at what he does and really likes digging into high performance
vehicles. Scott interests include collecting fish and
fast cars. He also aspires to be in movies one day...
good luck with that! Oh and if you ask him who his favorite
person to work with is, of course it would be Chris!
Trevor Cloutier - General Service
What?
Another Cloutier? Yes there are millions of us! Trevor
is our general service guy. He does one of the best
oil changes in Texas! Plus he helps Pat and Scott out
with other day to day operations.
Trevor also happens to be one of Patrick's
kids (no wonder he so good at this auto repair stuff!).
And as you can see in the picture Trevor is one amazing
guitar/bass player as well. Musicians definitely run
in the Cloutier family!
Jorge Montoya - Technician
Jorge
is one of our technicians now. In the year he has been with
us he has shown us nothing but great things! Jorge likes candle lit dinners, walks on the
beach… oh wait, sorry wrong bio… Jorge likes cars. Yes
when he leaves work after working on cars all day, he
goes home and works on his own car! So you can say that
Jorge is one of those lucky people that loves his job.
Jorge has two other brothers (he is a
middle child) and a girlfriend (sorry ladies). He likes
to listen to hip hop (we are trying to corrupt him with
rock n roll) and lucky for him (and Colin) he LOVES
the Dallas Cowboys… now that I think about it that is
probably why Colin suggested we hire him so badly! All
kidding aside Jorge is a great new addition to our growing
business.
Clifford Cotton - Customer Service
Clifford
Cotton is Colin's new partner in crime! Both of them
being guilty of delivering you the best in customer
care! Clifford is the proud father of two boys and one
girl. He is also married to a wonderful wife. I can
say that in all honesty because she let him come to
work for us!
Here is an interesting fact about Clifford,
he used to be one of our customers, and liked what we
did so much he decided he wanted to be a part of what
we do. WOW that is huge. Oh and he is still a customer
too! Also if you ever see a guy holding up a big bass
or catfish on the side of highway 66 yelling don't worry
it isn't a mad man, it is probably Clifford!
Chris Cloutier - Business/Customer
Service
If
Pat is the brawn behind the business, Chris is the brains
(or so he thinks, but we have to let him do something).
Chris runs the business side of the shop. Chris is a
natural entrepreneur. He has started several businesses
on his own and uses a "hands-on" approach to business.
He is a software engineer by trade.
Chris has a lovely wife, Amy, who stands behind most
of his crazy adventures, and two adorable daughters.
Chris is into self-improvement, and if philosophy is
your "thing", Chris enjoys sharing and listening. Chris
also loves music and plays in a local band. Chris doesn’t
play chess, but he is a heck of a soccer player (at
least thats what he thinks). (Editors Note: We love
Chris but he lives in a fantasy world where he knows
things... and does important stuff...) Read
Chris' blog!
Both the Cloutier boys were raised by supportive parents
who instilled all of the needed virtues, honesty, hard-work,
caring and sharing.
