    Hi, my name is Michael Myslakowski.  I have been with Dick Huvaere's Richmond Chrysler Dodge Jeep and Ram since 2004.  I started at the dealership while still in high school as a New Car Porter.  Within six months I was promoted to a Service Technician.  Two years later, I was transferred to the Body Shop where I performed the prep procedure for the new cars.  Three years later, I was promoted to Quick Lube Manager.
    I assist all new vehicle owners with their first free oil change and complimentary nitrogen service.  I also continue to assist our customers with future lube, oil, and filter changes, tire rotations and repairs, and other service needs.
    I attended Richmond High School until Senior Year.  I then transferred to Calvery Baptists School where I graduated in 2004.  I then went  right to work full time at Dick Huvaere's.  I married the sweetest thing this side of heaven in 2009, and fifteen months later came my wonderful son Gabriel Michael.  We recently found out that blessing number two is on the way.
    When I am not working, I enjoy serving the Lord Jesus Christ.  I also have a passion for bow hunting white tailed deer.  I hope I can be a blessing and a help to you on your next visit to Dick Huvaere's Richmond Chrysler Dodge Jeep and Ram.
