In 2012, Bill Snow and his wife Sheila were driving to North Carolina for a family vacation when their vehicle started to overheat. Now, at that time, Bill was a corporate guy—definitely not a mechanic, but he knew how to tinker. Long story short: Their car eventually had to be towed the rest of the trip. As it turned out, the wrong antifreeze had been added to the vehicle’s cooling system during an oil change which resulted in turning the anti-freeze into a thick, jello-like substance.
Later on in the vacation, while sitting on the beach, Bill said to Sheila, “If this is happening to us, it’s surely happening to others.” He put together a business plan for an auto repair business and did a lot of networking. Eventually, Bill connected with Rad Air where he found commonalities in his vision for automotive repair and service: Put clients first, and always get the job done right the first time.
When Bill found that an auto repair shop in Wickliffe, Ohio, was looking to make a change, he found his opportunity to start a new career. With Bill as the shop manager, Rad Air in Wickliffe opened on February 1, 2014.
Bill leads a team of talented and dedicated automotive technicians at Rad Air of Wickliffe, including:
