Who Am I ??

Hi my name is Kevin Kimble. I have lived in Northern Michigan since 1980. First in
Manistee and then I moved to Mesick with my Wife after we got married in 1996. I am 39
years old and have been a mechanic for the last 19 years. I learned the trade from my dad
who had a small engine business in Manistee. Prior to that he taught vocational small
engine and automotive repair at Lake Orion High School in Southeastern Michigan. Right
now I am teaching at the Beaver Island Lighthouse School and it is a great experience. I
have been working on Argo's for about twelve years. I have found that there is a need for a
service professional in the area of Argo repair and maintenance. This also allows me to
have a flexible schedule that I can work around school and still provide quality timely
service to Argo owners throughout Northern Michigan and the Upper Peninsula. I am
Master Certified by Briggs and Stratton (MST Master Service Technician), Kohler (Kohler
Expert technician) and Tecumseh (TMT Tecumseh Master Technician). I hold three
certifications from OPEESA as well which is the Outdoor Power Equipment/ Engine
Service Association Council for certifying small engine mechanics and outdoor power
equipment technicians. Those are in two cycle engine, four cycle engine and hydraulics
and drive line technology. I hold eight certifications from the state of Michigan for
automobile repair including Master Motorcycle and Recreational trailer repair. I am well
qualified to service your Argo vehicle and install any additional accessories you may
desire. I believe in doing a good job the first time and treating people fairly, this includes
explaining any work and standing behind the repairs I perform. When I am not Teaching or
learning I like to spend my time Musky fishing or wheeling in my Jeep. Preferably Musky
fishing. We have two dogs and two cats that think they run the place and my setter Flynn is
my co-pilot on most adventures. I look forward to serving all your Argo needs as they arise
in the future or any you may need dealt with in the present.
