Sickles Trucking and Repair celebrates five years

Brandon and Kay Sickles, with their staff, celebrated five years of business as Sickles Trucking and Repair Saturday, April 30. They welcomed customers into a dry place on a rainy day, serving a meal as thanks for their business and offered door prizes.

The Sickles say they opened their business because it was always something Brandon had wanted to do. They had a space already as they were already working on their own trucks. Since opening May 1, 2017, they’ve worked on everything from lawn mowers to semi trucks.

Just like when they opened, Sickles Trucking and Repair offers repairs of all kinds, maintenance and tire work. They are also a tire dealer. More recently, they’ve added an alignment machine, which the Sickles say has been a “great asset.”

“Five years ago, as with any new business, we were nervous about starting up, but those nerves were soon tempered when we received overwhelming support from other businesses within the Greenfield community,” the Sickles said. “Those small businesses, our families and friends also jumped on board doing whatever they could to promote our new business, whether it was repair work for themselves or simply spreading the word of a new shop in town owned and operated by Greenfield and Fontanelle natives.”

The Sickles report it was fun to see all of their customers and the community come visit Saturday, and they’re excited to serve the community well into the future.

“We have been very blessed the first five years and can’t thank the community enough,” the Sickles said. “We are grateful to live in a small, supportive community such as Greenfield and are looking forward to the next five years and beyond.”
