The Mad Mechanic of Nanaimo

Posted on by

Here is an interview with Ron Jarvis of the Mad Mechanic in Nanaimo:

Mid Island News:  What inspired you to come up with the name the Mad Mechanic?

Ron Jarvis:  I used to have a logo for my shop of a mad scientist.  It seemed appropriate for some of the situations I ran into. I haven’t used the logo anymore because of advertising costs, but the name stuck.

MIN: What types of vehicles do you repair?

Ron:  We repair cars and trucks, both domestic and imports for all sorts of repairs from brakes to air conditioning.

MIN:  Do you have any tips?

Ron:  No, not really.  I’ve been a mechanic for 43 years so I’ve seen just about everything.

MIN:  How many of those years have you spent in Nanaimo?

Ron: About 30 years.  I’m planning to retire in the next two or three years.

MIN:  Whereabouts are you located?

Ron:  Just around the corner from the Jinglepot Pub.

So the next time you’re visiting the Jinglepot Pub and your car or truck won’t start, there is help close by.
