Trust the Lift:
Every rebuild starts with trust. If we can’t raise each other up safely, everything falls apart. In here, we don’t sabotage, gossip, or loosen the bolts behind someone’s back. We speak straight, own our issues, and hold the line—because the world out there already wants to break us. In here, we stay solid.

No Blame, Shame, or Judgment in the Bay:
Mistakes are just parts that wore out—we don’t throw the whole machine away. We diagnose, learn, and move forward. Whether it's your own mess or someone else’s, we’re here to fix, not to condemn. Every dent and scratch tells a story. Own it. Learn from it. Then get back under the hood.

Run Your Own Build:
You’re not here to be anyone else’s model. Every man’s project is different. Some of us came in with rusted frames, some with busted engines. Doesn’t matter. What matters is showing up real, raw, and ready to work. Respect each man’s journey. No filters, no fake paint jobs—just truth.

Show Up and Turn the Wrench:
Progress isn’t about perfect parts. It’s about effort, day after day. Even if the job’s messy, even if you’re tired—you show up. Success is measured in turns of the wrench, not trophies on the shelf. Don’t ghost. Don’t vanish into the background. We finish what we start.

Invest in Your Ride:
If you’ve got skin in the game, you treat the build differently. Whether you’re paying in time, energy, money, or service—own your role in the shop. Every man here is invested. Every man here is grinding toward something better. Give the respect you expect.

Protect the Shop:
We don’t tear each other down. This is a brotherhood, not a battleground. We know the difference between someone who’s struggling and someone who’s sabotaging. The guys in this garage are your crew. Your brothers. We guard the space, we back each other up, and we hold the line when it gets hard.

Question the Blueprint:
Don't follow blindly. Challenge the process. Ask the hard questions. If something’s not working, speak up and help redesign it. We’re all learning—every guy brings different tools, and every failure teaches us something new. We don’t worship gurus here—we sharpen each other.

Wrench What You Know:
Unsolicited advice is like a loose bolt—it can do more harm than good. If you haven’t done the work, don’t pretend you have. In this shop, we speak from experience, not ego. If your advice hasn’t passed the test under real pressure, keep it in your toolbox. Misguided tips can send a man down the wrong road.
