Matt Curry-Maverick #142-Curry’s Auto Service: Past, Present and Future
My mother always told me, “Whatever you choose to be in life…I don’t care if its digging pits…be the best pit digger you can be!”
(Word from the editor [Rose Ayers]) Recently, I had the privilege of catching up with our very own Matt Curry; Owner/President/CEO of Curry Auto Service based out of Gainsville, Virginia. Matt and his wife Judy were recently featured in The Washington Business Journal. According to this article, Curry’s Auto Service is “Fast and Furious-Driven in large by new technology investments.” Matt has some exciting stuff going down in his life right now and is excited to share his thoughts with the rest of you Mavericks. If you are interested in reading the rest of Matt’s article in The Washington Business Journal, click here.
If you could have dinner with 3 people from the past, present or future, who would they be and why?
- Jesus Christ – Not only because he is historical, but I just really want to ask him: “Are you truly the Messiah?”
- Ronald Reagan – The guy is my hero and one of the best presidents we have had. From his role in helping tear down the Berlin Wall to being “the guy who beat communism,” he is pure awesomeness.
- My parents – Trust me, they are “one person” and they have had such a big impact on my life.
If you were not doing what you are doing now (career-wise), what else would you be doing?
Well…I would either be in jail or working for someone else at a dead-end job….joking…kind of 🙂 In all honesty, I would still be an entrepreneur doing something in the auto industry. It’s what I have done my whole life!
What is new with your company?
We just opened our 10th store two weeks ago, which means we obtained our goal! We are projecting that we will bring in over $20M in revenue this year. I am so grateful for this success because it has opened up so many doors and I have met so many cool people in the process. Recently, we had the privilege of purchasing 35% of a computer development company that has designed a program that promotes better communication between us and our customers. This program will allow us to send pictures and videos of what is going on with their cars; ie brake malfunctions and oil leaks. This process will educate our customers so that they have a full understanding of what is being done to their vehicles.
