Last Chance Auto Repair in Plainfield, IL, is a family-owned & operated, full-service auto repair center started by Ron (aka automotive enthusiast) in 1978. Ron grew up wrenching out of his parents & friends garages all while racing at the local drag-strips plus on the streets of Chicago Illinois. Some say he must have been born with oil running through his veins. From racing and working in garages Ron went over to Dodge City aka Dodge Trucks in Countryside, where he was quickly promoted to service manager, where under Ron’s guidance the shop won many service excellence awards and he was truly proud of what he became. From Dodge to Hendrickson Trucks he went, he jumped right into the truck suspension engineering group working in the research and development laboratory. His skills and knowledge mixed with the team at Hendrickson helped to develop many of the heavy-duty & medium-duty truck suspensions currently on the roads today. Then came Corry, Ron’s son which also grew up turning wrenches but instead with his father in the good old family garage. His passion sparked like an iridium firing spark plug. From the garage (under his father’s wing) to the high school automotive shop class to Universal Technical Institute (U.T.I.) where he trained in domestic & foreign, auto, diesel, electrical, technologies (which includes Mercedes, BMW, GM, Ford, Daimler-Chrysler, Dodge). From there he worked at Tellabs as an electronic technician, then over to Arrow Trucks as a diesel mechanic, all while turning wrenches with his father. Work, work, work!
