Sara Abrecht has had a lifelong interest in business and leadership, which began at the age of 8 when she started working for her father's CPA business. Today, she has found success as the location leader in the automotive industry.
Sara has an approachable and straightforward attitude towards her interactions and leadership style. She has learned to be understanding of the struggles of other people and to build them up rather than tearing them down. As a location leader, her main focus is supporting her team as well as the customers who come in and out of the shop. She recognizes that customers can become upset if they are not prepared for the cost of repairs, and understands that her job is to be there to listen and help them through their issues.
Over the years, Sara’s go-getter personality and strong work ethic has kept her pushing for more. Tune in to hear her thoughts on continuously evolving as a person and how “evolve or die” came to be one of her mottos!

“I try to keep in mind that dealing with people can be hard. Because a lot of people, you don't realize that they just had to put a pet down yesterday or their home AC unit just blew up and they just spent eight grand on that. Like, you have no idea. It goes back to people, and you just don't realize each day what people are carrying until you say something and that's their final straw. And then they're really not mad at you, but just upset at an entire situation that's going on in their lives right now. I'm just trying to support them. To support the customers.”
