Keller Williams is here to help those impacted by Hurricane Harvey and Hurricane Irma.

When it comes to Keller Williams, family is everything.

Our Red Relief program is dedicated to providing disaster relief to every family impacted by these storms.

Hundreds of Keller Williams agents have gone to Texas to help those in Corpus Christi, Houston, Beaumont, and more. More agents are on their way to help families in the path of Hurricane Irma in Florida.

"Help us provide disaster relief to those impacted by Irma and Harvey."

So far, we have seen a tremendous outpouring of love from our volunteers and donors. Rebuilding these areas is going to take more than a couple of weeks, so it’s important that we keep the energy going in the coming months as we help people get back to their normal lives.

As we work to rebuild these areas, we could use your help.

Please consider donating to our Red Relief program. Your contributions will help us supply food, water, clothing, and building supplies to these communities.

If you have any questions about KW Cares, the Red Relief program, and our ongoing disaster relief efforts, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us. We appreciate your support as we work to help others through this difficult time.

Blue Gorilla Garage Covers All Your Automotive Needs

Today on Trade Local, Matt Blue tells us all about his automotive garage, Blue Gorilla Garage.

Welcome back to another episode of Trade Local, where we go behind the scenes and meet the people behind the businesses that make up our community.

I’m here today with Matt Blue, owner of Blue Gorilla Garage in Nash. We sat down and talked about how he got started in automotive repair and what brought him to this point.

Matt had always been fascinated with machinery and how things work since he was a young child. He rode dirt bikes when he was younger and learned a lot about fixing them. He carried that knowledge over to his eventual work at a few different auto dealerships. He started out changing tires but eventually got into diesel engine repair.

After about 10 years bouncing around different dealerships doing diesel engine work, Matt decided it was time to embark on his own. According to him, it’s one of the scariest things he has ever done, but also one of the most rewarding.

Blue Gorilla Garage gets its name from an unlikely source. One of Matt’s customers actually coined the term. It’s a combination of his last name (Blue) and the fact that Matt is a grease monkey of the highest level (Gorilla.) He’s noticed that people either love the name or hate it, but everyone remembers it, which is exactly what he was going for.

They diagnose the problem instead of just trying to replace things.

Blue Gorilla Garage specializes in diesel engine repair, but they also specialize in another area: diagnostics. According to Matt, this is a dying part of auto repair that he wants to bring back. He says that a lot of mechanics these days will simply replace a part instead of taking the time to diagnose the problem and see if there is any way to remedy it without having to get a new part. They do a little bit of everything here, from gas engine repair to transmission work and everything in between.

Blue Gorilla Garage is located at 6905 Alumax Rd. in Nash, Texas. You can reach them at (903) 223-7428 or right here on their website. Thanks for your time, Matt!

If you have any other real estate related questions or needs, we are always here to answer them. We look forward to hearing from you.
