THE STAFF THAT KEEPS US MOVING

Another part of RM Motorwerks that you don’t see very often is the incredible staff behind the phone calls, parts, social media, tuning, and everything else that keeps us moving. Alongside our technicians, we have three amazing people who help run RM Motorwerks — and without them, our family wouldn’t be complete. Pete Keely is our general manager and can fix anything — literally anything. Pete is the person we all turn to when we need help, whether it’s car-related or just life-related; he can handle it all. Over on the service side, we have Craig White, our service advisor who does a little bit of everything: tuning, parts, and even working on vehicles. Roddy Mitchell is the owner of RM, as well as our tuner and the man who created this amazing business over ten years ago in just a two-bay building. These three men, individually, have been working on cars longer than some of our employees have been alive, and the amount of knowledge and stories they bring to the table is something truly special.
