Thanks Jaime, much appreciated.  Since this whole situation transpired, I had to change jobs.  I was informed the beginning of June, with 4 days notice, that the owner of the aamco I was working for was going to close the doors.  I had a feeling for some time that this would happen, hence looking so intensely at buying this shop.  What could have been quite tramatic for myself and my family, has turned out to be a bit of a great thing.
  I was offered a position at my first choice shop, which allowed me to make more money, with less responsibility.  We were doing our tires and alignments with this company for a few months before the bad news, so I had built a decent rapport with most of the staff already, so it was an easy transition.  I look forward to helping build this shop into the best one around, and have put shop ownership on the back burner.
  I've long said, I just want to work for a company that does it the right way and takes care of the customer, and their employees.  If I can find that kind of place, there isn't much need for the headache and reward involved with having my own place.  Being the boss has always been mostly because I wanted to be part of moving the automotive repair trade forward, into a better light with the consumer.  The last 6 weeks at Atlantic Tire Center have me very hopeful that I have found the right fit.  Now I just gotta convince them to tool up and stop subletting! Ha ha.
