Our Culture

Adam & Son is committed to changing the automotive repair industry’s image through our company culture, customer service and inclusivity. We actively search for and evaluate team members who see the world and its people differently. Our priority is service - going out of our way for customers, coworkers and community neighbors. This is not only the right thing to do, but it naturally leads to a higher level of production and performance for our customers.

Culture is an overused word in today’s world. Everyone loves to talk about it, how important it is, how foundational it is, but very few have any substance to their approach. They hope if they talk about it enough and acknowledge its imperativeness, that somehow it will just manifest itself and employees will immediately buy in. We know that’s not true. So with input from expert consultants we created our 28 company culture fundamentals. Every prospective employee is evaluated against these. Our entire staff focuses on one specifically each week together, sharing new ideas and challenging one another to how we might excel and find new heights.

We are as proud of our social impact programs as anything we do on the auto repair and service side of our business. These programs are essential to Adam & Son. They are not exclusive to a small team or group of our staff, everyone on our team actively contributes to supporting our community. Learn more about our social impact programs and how you can get involved HERE.

Our 28 Company Culture Fundamentals

1. DO THE RIGHT THING, ALWAYS

Demonstrate an unwavering commitment to doing the right thing in every action you take and in every decision you make, especially when no one’s looking. Always tell the truth, no matter the consequences. If you make a mistake, own up to it, apologize, and make it right.

2. MAKE QUALITY PERSONAL

Demonstrate a passion for excellence and take pride in the quality of everything you touch and everything you do. Have a healthy dislike for mediocrity. Good is not good enough. Always ask yourself, “Is this my best work?”

3. PRACTICE BLAMELESS PROBLEM SOLVING

Demonstrate a relentless solution focus, rather than pointing fingers or dwelling on problems. Identify lessons learned and use those lessons to improve ourselves and our processes so we don’t make the same mistake twice. Get smarter with every mistake. Learn from every experience.

4. HONOR COMMITMENTS

Do what you say you’re going to do, when you say you’re going to do it. This includes being on time for all phone calls, appointments, and meetings. If a commitment can’t be fulfilled, notify others early and agree on a new deliverable to be honored.

5. GET CLEAR ON EXPECTATIONS

Create clarity and avoid misunderstandings by discussing expectations upfront. Set expectations for others and ask when you’re not clear on what they expect of you. End all meetings with clarity about action items, responsibilities, and due dates.

6. LISTEN TO UNDERSTAND

Listening is more than simply “not speaking.” Give others your undivided attention. Be present and engaged. Minimize the distractions and let go of the need to agree or disagree. Suspend your judgment and be curious to know more, rather than jumping to conclusions.

7. SPEAK STRAIGHT

Speak honestly in a way that helps to make progress. Say what you mean, and be willing to ask questions, share ideas, or raise issues that may cause conflict when it’s necessary for team success. Be courageous enough to say what needs to be said. Address issues directly with those who are involved or affected.

8. FIND A WAY

Take personal responsibility for making things happen. Respond to every situation by looking for how we can do it, rather than explaining why it can’t be done. Be resourceful and show initiative. Don’t make excuses or wait for others to solve the problem. See issues through to their completion.

9. SHOW MEANINGFUL APPRECIATION

Recognize people doing things right, rather than pointing out when they do things wrong. Regularly extend meaningful acknowledgment and appreciation — in all directions throughout our organization.

10. KEEP THINGS FUN

While our passion for excellence is real, remember that the world has bigger problems than the daily challenges that make up our work. Stuff happens. Keep perspective. Don’t take things personally or take yourself too seriously. Laugh every day.

11. BE A FANATIC ABOUT RESPONSE TIME

Respond to questions and concerns quickly, whether it’s in person, on the phone, or by e-mail. This includes simply acknowledging that we got the question and we’re “on it,” as well as keeping those involved continuously updated on the status of outstanding issues.

12. DELIVER RESULTS

While effort is important, people expect results. Follow up on everything and take responsibility to ensure that tasks get completed. Set high goals, use measurements to track your progress, and hold yourself accountable for achieving those results.

13. DELIVER LEGENDARY SERVICE

It’s all about the experience. With every experience, do the little things, as well as the big things, that surprise people. Make every interaction stand out for its helpfulness. Create the “WOW” factor that turns customers into raving fans. This includes both internal and external customers.

14. ASSUME POSITIVE INTENT

Work from the assumption that people are good, fair, and honest, and that the intent behind their actions is positive. Set aside your own judgments and preconceived notions. Give people the benefit of the doubt.

15. BE RELENTLESS ABOUT IMPROVEMENT

Regularly evaluate the way you/we work to find ways to improve. Don’t be satisfied with the status quo. “Because we’ve always done it that way” is not a reason. Guard against complacency. Find ways to get things done better, faster, and more efficiently.

16. TAKE OWNERSHIP

Take personal responsibility for making things happen. It’s never someone else’s job or someone else’s fault. Be resourceful and show initiative. If you see it, own it, and make sure it gets done. Don’t make excuses.

17. INVEST IN RELATIONSHIPS

Get to know your clients and coworkers on a more personal level. Talk more and e-mail less. Understand what makes others tick and what’s important to them. Strong relationships enable us to more successfully work through difficult issues and challenging times.

18. CHECK THE EGO AT THE DOOR

It’s not about you. Don’t let your ego get in the way of doing what’s best for the team. Worrying about who gets credit or taking things personally is counterproductive. Make sure every decision is based solely on advancing team goals and doing what’s best for the customer.

19. TREASURE, PROTECT, AND PROMOTE OUR REPUTATION

We’re all responsible for, and benefit from, our company’s image and reputation. Consider how your actions affect our collective reputation, and be a proud ambassador for the company.

20. BE POSITIVE

You have the power to choose your attitude. Choose to be joyful, optimistic, and enthusiastic. See the good in others. Your attitude is contagious. Spread optimism and positive energy.

21. MAKE A DIFFERENCE

Be an active part of your community. Give back by contributing your time, effort, and where appropriate, your money, to make your community better. Every little bit matters. You can and do make a difference.

22. PITCH IN WHEREVER NECESSARY

Be willing to do the mundane and ordinary things necessary to get the job done. Nothing is beneath any of us. If you see it, take care of it.

23. CREATE WIN/WIN SOLUTIONS

It’s a 2-way street. Learn to think from others’ perspectives. Discover what they need and find a way to help them meet those needs while also fulfilling your own. Win/win solutions are always more effective and longer lasting than win/lose solutions.

24. TAKE PRIDE IN OUR APPEARANCE

Your personal appearance makes a strong statement about the pride you take in your performance. Dress neatly and professionally. The appearance of our facilities makes a similar statement about the quality of our work. Take responsibility to see that our environment is clean, neat, and professional.

25. COMMUNICATE TO BE UNDERSTOOD

Know your audience. Write and speak in a way that they can understand. Avoid using internal lingo, acronyms, and industry jargon. Use the simplest possible explanations.

26. WALK IN YOUR CUSTOMERS’ SHOES

Understand your customers’ world. Know their challenges and frustrations. See the world from their perspective. The better you understand them, the more effectively you can anticipate and meet their needs.

27. BE EASY TO WORK WITH

Find ways to make working with you/us easier. Provide simple and complete instructions. When in doubt, do more for others rather than pushing the work back to them. Streamline our processes. Simplify everything. Be ridiculously helpful.

28. EMBRACE DIVERSE PERSPECTIVES

Be open to learning from others, no matter what role they have, and regardless of their age, background, experience, or tenure with our company. We make better decisions when we consider multiple perspectives.
