Our first spotlight employee is automotive technician, Scott M. He is easy to find when you are at Ultimate Collision, because Scott always has a smile on his face while working on a car, truck, or SUV. Scott loves his job and has been in the automotive repair industry for over 30 years repairing anything with a motor and wheels. Even on the weekends, Scott can be found at the shop working on a project, tools in hand. If you ask Scott about how he feels working for Ultimate Collision, he will tell you it is his dream job. Scott is a team player, and his favorite thing about Ultimate Collision is the family atmosphere. Scott says “We have the best team, we have all the pieces for any puzzle, everyone here has an important role, and is treated that way”.

Scott is an inspiration and a mentor for other technicians on the team. He is often the go-to-guy when there is a problem, or something out of the ordinary needs to get fixed. One of Scott’s biggest passions is vehicle restoration. His favorite restoration project car to date is a 1965 Chevrolet Impala that Ultimate Collision built last year. The project was a frame off restoration that was inspired by a set of 22” Forgiato rims. Scott said that the shop bought the rims and knew that they would look great on the car. Modifying the car to handle the 22” wheels was a challenge, but worth the effort. When the car was completed, it was not only fun to look at, but also a blast to drive! The Impala has a supercharged 454ci motor putting out over 500hp that will throw you back in your seat. Scott says he loved the build because he was able to have his hands on every part of the transformation, from start, to finish.

Robbie T. is a RV repair technician here at UCRVAZ. He is an AZ native and grew up in the Glendale/Phoenix area. With over 40 years of technician experience, Robbie has seen it all. Robbie’s career began in the early 80s working in the car industry. He started by learning body work, then focused on painting. After 20 years of cars, he was ready for a new challenge and decided to transition into RV repairs. For anyone unfamiliar with RV repairs, they are a whole other animal that requires knowledge of construction, fiberglass, paint and multiple other trades depending on the repair. Robbie’s favorite RV repair to perform is replacing or repairing a rubber roof because he has mastered the process. Regardless of RV manufacturer, he enjoys the feeling of accomplishment and seeing repairs from start-to-finish. Most of Robbie’s time is now spent as a mentor for younger employees. He enjoys sharing his knowledge and experience with the RV team and making sure that every repair meets or exceeds factory standards.

What Robbie loves the most about working at UCRVAZ, is that he gets to work with his “big, happy family”. Robbie has multiple family members on staff, but also considers everyone he works with as family. When Robbie is not at the shop, he enjoys spending time outside. His favorite getaways are taking a camping trip up north with his family, or taking his boat to the lake for the weekend. Robbie has a work hard, play hard, mentality and whether it's spending time with his family, or working on an RV in the shop, he always gives 110%.
