Watch to see all the hats Steve has to wear in a single day:

💰 The Bank Robber
⚡ The Flash
🛠️ The Electrician

At the end of the day, he’s just a mechanic standing in front of a car with its hood up, trying to keep everyone safe on the road! 🚗💨

School buses are back on the roads, and local school zones are officially active! 🚌 With traffic slowing down and kids crossing the streets, your brakes need to be sharper than a brand-new pencil.
If you’ve noticed any squeaking, grinding, or a soft brake pedal, don’t wait until you're in a hard-stopping situation. Bring your ride into Hammett Motors. Let’s make sure your braking system is 100% ready to keep you—and our community's kids—safe this school year.

Wackey Video Wednesday

Told the guys in the shop to hold their tools like girls hold their coffee cups... honestly, I’ve never seen tools look so cozy. ☕🔧
Except Steve, who ended up holding a pack of gummies instead. 🍬
Who did it best?!

🛠️ Staff Spotlight: Meet Junior (aka Donnie)! 🛠️

It’s time to shine the shop light on one of our favorite rising stars! Today, we’re introducing the high school senior who’s balancing textbooks by day and turning wrenches by afternoon.

📋 The Basics
Role: High School Senior Co-Op Student & Apprentice Tech🎓

Time at Hammett Motors: Since May 2026 (and he hasn't run away yet!)

First Car Ever Owned: 2005 Ram 1500 🚗 (If you see him around, ask him if it actually ran or if he just pushed it everywhere!)

💼 Behind the Scenes
Favorite Part of the Job: Undercoating and soaking up all the hands-on shop knowledge

Least Favorite Task: Transmission fluid changes 🔧

The "Grail" Car: 1980 Pontiac Firebird 🏎️

🏁 Off the Clock
When Junior isn’t balancing schoolwork and shop work, you can usually find him at the track or hanging out with his girlfriend and parents.

Hobbies: Racing his #08 kart 🏎️🏁, turning wrenches on his dad's dirt modified 🛠️, kickin' it in his room with his boy Duke 🐶, and snacking on popcorn , and catching up on some serious sleep 😴

Fine Dining: Catching a meal at Beechwood Inn, or home-cooked Alfredo

Official Fuel Source: Dr Pepper Cream Soda 🥤 (Keep 'em coming!)

💡 Junior’s Pro-Tip: "Make sure you have the correct transmission fluid quantity before putting new fluid in!" (Seriously... ask him how he learned this one the hard way! 😅)

We’re proud to have Junior rounding out his senior year learning the ropes with our crew!

Drop a 👋 in the comments to wish Junior an awesome senior year and give him a warm shop welcome!

We’ve officially reached the "Dog Days of Summer!" 🐶🐾

While our favorite furry co-pilots excel at monitoring window breezes and supervising trunk loading, they aren't the best at checking tire pressure or oil levels. That’s where we come in.

Speaking of co-pilots, we have ours right here! Can you guess whose dog belongs to who?
Our crew includes Skip, Mark, Joyce, Donnie, and Jr (keep in mind, Jr lives with Donnie so they share a dog or dogs). Drop your best guesses in the comments! 👇🐕

Make sure your vehicle is running smoothly so the summer road trips don't get cut short. Stop by Hammett Motors and let our human team take a look under the hood!

(P.S. Let’s see your co-pilots in the comments below, too! 😉)

And just like that, we’ve officially hit the final stretch of August! ⏱️🍂

The kids are headed back to school, the evenings are getting crisper, and the summer season is officially in the rearview mirror. Between those hot daytime beach trips and those dusty weekend nights spent watching the dirt fly under the track lights, your daily driver has put in some serious work since June! 🚙📈

Let’s see who officially won the "Summer Road Warrior" title this year.

Drop a comment below:

1️⃣ Approximately how many miles did you put on your ride this summer? 🗺️

2️⃣ What was the absolute best track night, beach day, or road trip those miles took you to? 🏁🏖️

Now that the summer fun is winding down, it’s time to give your trusty ride the post-season recovery it deserves. Before we jump full-force into autumn routines, let’s get that overdue oil change taken care of, swap out those dusty filters, get your tires changed for the upcoming season, and make sure your vehicle is ready for the road ahead!

Swing by Hammett Motors this week and let’s get your ride squared away for fall! 🛠️✨
