Exploring Life & Business with Darrell DeBrew of Just Brakes Inc.

Today we’d like to introduce you to Darrell DeBrew

Hi Darrell, I’m so excited to have you on the platform. Before we ask about your work life, you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today.
Dealing with street mechanics and auto repair shops as an Uber Driver made me realize their services could be marketed and sold at better prices. Working on cars as a kid caused me to specialize in brake repair. No matter how much experience a mechanic has, trying to solve every car problem is frustrating. Brakes Repair mostly requires replacing parts, and people already know what they want. Everything was done to establish a name, from street signs all over Raleigh to running ads on Facebook and Instagram and requesting a Google Review before getting paid, and the marketing paid off. People make appointments and bring the parts for installation.

Let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall, and if not, what challenges have you had to overcome?
Tool management presented the most complex challenge. After much trial and error, a brother finally figured it out. The most used tools are on a dolly with a sizeable partitioned crate. Also, there are magnetic trays. Now, instead of walking back and forth, the dolly is pushed around the vehicle, and loading tools require loading the dolly and a jack. Other than that, a Brake Mechanic must fully understand Electronic Parking Brakes.

Let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know?

Have you learned any exciting or essential lessons due to the COVID-19 crisis?
In the story of the Grasshopper and the Ants, surround yourself with people who do wise things and prepare for the future. Ultimately, simple decisions give the most significant returns because they avoid severe losses. Our habits make us who we are. And if your friends have bad habits, you will likely have the same. Next to that. Nothing like having several goals. No matter what happens, progress can be made in some manner. For me, much of that free time went into studying.
