Steve Westphal doesn't believe in wasting time. The former Army humvee mechanic started automotive technology classes at a Dallas Community College while he was home on leave. And he began working full-time before he finished his education. Today, he supervises more than 100 technicians and -- because of his education -- knows the real nuts and bolts of auto repair. Steve's knowledge helped his dealership win the coveted Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award in 2005. "At community college, I received more than specialized training; I got an education and discovered my potential," he says. For Steve, it all began here.
