Column on the retirement of Jim Kinn – If only auto service centers gave honorary doctorate degrees. Jim Kinn’s wall would be covered with them.

Try blindfolding him. Then, drive your car through the Stratton Auto Group’s Bluffton Auto Repair Center lot. By the vibration of your car’s tires he can determine how many miles are left on the treads.

His next pronouncement might be a prediction of the life expectancy of your brake drums. On several occasions, we’ve witnessed him nail these and other obscure vehicle facts and figures within 2,000 miles of the actually number.

And, to think, he’d rattle off these equipment projections after he named the car VIN number and whether its transmission fluid needs flushing. Blindfolded!
