Debbie Waskow Public Relations Representative Debbie Waskow spends her time promoting Superior Auto Service and Xpress Rent-A-Car. She is the President/CEO of Xpress Rent-A-Car of Bryan/College Station. Always on the go, you will rarely find her at the shop, but may find her at an American Business Women's Association meeting, a Leading Women's Express Network membership drive, a Chamber of Commerce Business After Hours, a Brazos Independent Business Alliance social or involved in other community events.

Dan Waskow Dan has seen a lot of changes in automobiles in his 30+ years experience. President, general manager and owner of Superior Auto Service, Dan got interested in automotive repair by working on his own car during his high school years. "I couldn't afford to pay a professional mechanic to fix my car, so I learned to do it myself", Dan said. "Automobiles today are considerably more sophisticated with their on-board computer systems," Dan continued "and my staff stays up-to-date with the constantly changing technology. Cars last longer now. We see vehicles that have had proper maintenance with 200,000 miles on the odometer." Dan has degrees in auto mechanics from Temple College and Texas State Technical College. He earned his first ASE Certification in 1975 and is now an ASE Certified Master Technician, ASE Certified Parts Specialist and ASE Certified Service Consultant. After years of repairing vehicles for a local dealership, Dan started his own business in 1981 with a partner at a two-bay Texaco station. "We knew we could give better customer service than the dealership," Dan said. The business quickly grew, moved to its current location in 1983, and Dan bought out his partner in 1988. In time, Dan began making the transition and a career change -- from mechanic to businessman with training and classes from the Automotive Management Institute. He is a graduate of Leadership Brazos, has served with industry organizations like the Automotive Service Association and community groups like BNI Aggieland Professionals, Brazos Independent Business Alliance and the Better Business Bureau. One of his roles is helping determine what's wrong with a vehicle from a customer's description of the problem. "It's like being a detective sometimes. What helps the technicians is knowing exactly when a problem occurs and under what circumstances," Dan said.

Tom Burch As of July 2, 2010 Tom Burch has retired from Superior Auto Service. After 24 years of service, Tom was honored with a retirement reception on July 25, 2010 at Calvary Baptist Church fellowship hall. We wish Tom all the best as he enjoys his retirement.

Danny Menard Danny Menard has handled just about every automotive repair job from tune-ups to transmissions to brakes during his nine years with Superior Auto Service. However, he is especially at ease working on air conditioning and heater problems. His interest in repairing vehicles began shortly after high school. "I was good with my hands, so I went to college to learn the mechanical part of the field", Danny said. He began his training at North Harris College and started a decade of fixing automobiles for a number of businesses. Danny admits he had some tough years learning the business in the beginning. However, he notes he learned many techniques of repair that serve him well now. "One method of solving difficult repair problems is to take a test drive with the customer", Danny said Additionally, Danny is ASE Certified in numerous areas of vehicle repair. He upgrades his skills annually through various seminars and programs. Danny describes the work at Superior as being seasonal: air conditioners, water pumps and radiators in the summer, heaters in the winter, and brakes and front end work all year round. Danny notes, in addition to work on air conditioners and heaters, "I like the challenge of a weird electrical problem." Working with his hands continues when Danny is not on the job. He has a number of tractors at his home in the country that he tinkers with. When he needs to get away from all things mechanical, his hobbies include hunting and fishing.

Trey Jaronitzky Please join us in welcoming techinician Trey Jaronitzky to the team here at Superior. We're very blessed to have Trey. It's not every day that a shop has a chance to acquire someone with Trey's experience. Trey, originally from Wisconsin, moved to Houston with his family in 1984. He has worked in the trade for more than 24 years, is an ASE Master Certified Technician, and he owned his own shop for 12 years - Mechanics At Large - right here in Bryan. Perhaps you're wondering why someone would want to go from owning his own business to working for someone else? We asked Trey that question. Here's what he had to say. "After several years of working for other people and learning the business, I figured why not do this for myself"? Well, I found out that working on cars and running a business are not the same thing. Little by little the business stuff consumed me and took me away form what I was best at, and what I liked the most - working on cars." Next, we asked Trey why he joined the team at Superior. After all, someone with his experience could have gone anywhere. Here's what Trey had to say. "As a competitor of Superior for 12 years I knew all about their reputation as being a shop that does quality work for a fair price and treats their customers well. I have known Danny Menard for years, we used to work together, and I got to know Dan Waskow also. As it turned out, things just came together. As they say, timing is everything. At the same time I decided that I wanted to get back to being a tech, Superior had an opening, so here I am."
