David Head, warranty administrator, on showing employees that they are valued: "Our owner, Mike Dunnahoo, walks through our service department every morning and shakes hands with the techs and employees and tells them good morning and thank you. We know he appreciates us and we are a valued part of the team. We also have fun quarterly appreciation luncheons and a great Christmas party with nice door prizes."
