Bill’s store is now the largest Meineke Car Care Center west of the Mississippi.

In addition to donating vehicle repairs to people in need from his local church, his family is part of a team that puts on an annual prom for special needs kids. He is also a sponsor of the Ventura Optimist Club and a member of the Lions club. As a cancer survivor, he speaks every month at the Cancer Research Center to cancer survivors and he mentors cancer patients who are going through treatment. He also enjoys coaching little league baseball and youth basketball.
Bill’s personal business philosophy is that a good business is honest and ethical and willing to go to all lengths to take care of his customers. He has four children and three grandchildren, and was born and raised in Ventura, California, where his shop is now located.
