Eric VanGorden

Full-time mechanic

Eric VanGorden joined the Frank’s Marathon team in May 2022 as our newest mechanic, but he’s been familiar face around our garage for years. He’s had his cars serviced at Frank’s for 23 years. He began working on cars when he bought his first of five Chevy Camaros at age 17 and most recently managed a Valvoline Instant Oil Change the past four years. He worked at the Subway Restaurant down the road from Frank’s for 23 years, including the last 21 as the manager. His current hobby? Working on his 1988 Camaro IROC Z at home.

“As far as an American small business is run, this place is paramount. Their customer service is ‘old school,’ where the owner stands behind their service. I’ve been coming here for almost 30.”
