A (furry) Employee Spotlight: Ocoee Reeder

A (furry) Employee Spotlight: Ocoee Reeder

When you schedule an appointment or make an unplanned stop at an auto service center, chances are you need an oil change or a repair. Maybe those tires are getting a little worn and you need replacements. Perhaps you’d like to consult a mechanic about that check engine light that keeps popping up. Or maybe you’d like to visit a friendly pup while you chat with your favorite mechanic.

Wait, what was that?

Believe it or not, you read that correctly! We can’t speak for every shop, but Reeder’s Auto Service Center features some friendly four-legged friends in addition to their highly-skilled, professional staff. Because who doesn’t want a chocolate lab fur baby offering moral support while your car baby gets some much-needed attention?

Along with Eagle Reeder, Ocoee Reeder is stationed at Reeder’s Auto Service to offer his main skillsets—welcoming customers, making their days a little bit brighter, and sometimes swiping some snacks along the way.

In an intimate one-on-one interview, we learned a little bit more about Ocoee:

We don’t know about you, but we feel pretty keen on paying a visit to this outstanding member of the Portage community.
