Tim Winkeler, President and COO at VIP Tires and Service:
“Chick Jr. is one of my favorite people in the Automotive Aftermarket. Comes from a great family, is a great family man himself, and works his ass off to consistently exceed expectations. His company represented our product line for many years, and during my years working with them, we continued to grant more and more territory to Chick and his company. Chick embodies the perfect intersection of family values, work ethic, and having fun. No matter the role, Chick can be counted upon to be a leader, an innovative thinker, and most importantly a roll-the-sleeves-up doer. I have nothing but the highest regard for Chick, and would recommend him for any venture or initiative he pursues.”
