HARD WORK PAYS OFF<\/h1>\n<\/div>\n\u00a0<\/div>\n![\"image\"](\"https:\/\/distlerauto.com\/picts\/article-1-small.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
Working long 14-hour days, seven days a week, Distler built his business from the ground up, literally.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s been a long road, but I wouldn\u2019t change a thing,\u201d Distler said with a chuckle. \u201cI\u2019ve learned a lot, done a lot and am keepin\u2019 up still, with the help of my loyal staff of course.\u201d<\/p>\n
In the 1980\u2019s, Distler and his wife Carolyn, converted the gas station to a convenience store and also built a new auto repair building across the street, where it still stands today.<\/p>\n
\u201cNow I have three certified technicians working full time and other staff that are familiar with our repeat customers that know the history of the cars we work on and that\u2019s important,\u201d Distler said.<\/p>\n
Located at the corner of Cross Street and North Main Street, in the heart of \u2018old Shiloh,\u2019 Distler\u2019s continues to increase its customer base every day by word-of-mouth and referrals, Distler said, \u201cis the best way to do it so people know you will provide great service because we\u2019ve already done it for their friends or family.\u201d<\/p>\n
Although the shop is not as large in size as a multi-location, corporate entity in the industry, Distler\u2019s is not lacking in notoriety or reputation in the area, said B.J. Berger, shop manager for the last 15 years and long-time worker of 27 years. Berger also holds a seat on the Shiloh Village Planning Commission board.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe do good here. It\u2019s been very rewarding,\u201d Berger said. \u201cThe big key is the people coming through our doors over and over again. They know that when they come here that we\u2019re going to take care of them and treat them like we would our own family\u2014the right way.\u201d<\/p>\n
