Questions Randall gets asked

How long is it going to take to repair my vehicle?

“After diagnosis we can determine a path to repair. The time it will take is much better determined after that.”

Why are cars so expensive to repair?

“With all of the cutting-edge technology used in today’s new cars, parts and repair availability is limited. Manufacturers have to charge premium prices to afford that technology.”

Colorado Springs connection

Randall was born and raised in Colorado Springs and calls it one of the greatest cities in the country. He has worked for several dealership groups in the city, and says the difference at Perkins is David himself — that he cares deeply about the community and about the staff.

Outside the dealership

Outside work Randall spends time with family, travels, and golfs. He drives a Jeep Cherokee and a Ram 1500, and has owned a Ram 2500 as well. He is into towing, motorsports, vehicle customization, performance vehicles, classic cars, and working on his own vehicles. His favourite vehicle he has owned was a 1982 Wells Coyote — the fastest thing he has driven.
