Exploring Life & Business with Dustin Keller of Alpha Automotive

Today we’d like to introduce you to Dustin Keller.

Hi Dustin, so excited to have you on the platform. So, before we get into questions about your work life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today. 
To whom this may concern, 

I, Dustin Keller, was born into a family of entrepreneurs. When I graduated high school. I joined the Army National Guard. The Guard paid for 100% of my undergraduate degree and the ability to earn some money. With the sign-on bonus and small savings, I was able to buy my 1st automotive repair facility in 2005. In 2006, we diversified and bought a Repo Agency. We expanded our services and our coverage area. In 2021, I had a parcel exit from the Repo Agency, and since then, we have bought and open 6 additional automotive repair facilities. We also stared and not profit, and last year, we have away four cars and over $10,000.00 in service. 

Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way? Looking back, would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
lol, no, we have struggles with zoning, finances, and staff 

Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know?
Alpha Automotive was created to join together like-minded auto-related business to leverage resources and expertise for a better customer experience and service. 

We own and operate 7 automotive repair facilities, 2 Body Shops, and 5 Mechanical facilities. We are a dealer alterative, and we strive to educate or customers and staff. 

We also started a non-profit: www.HelpINeedTransportation.com
