Bob Miller is a 37-year veteran ASE-certified mechanic and former manager-partner of the Shawnee Service Center in Wilmette. In October, he joined the staff at Adams, 1811 W. Route 120, according to a news release.

A collision repair business since 1958, Adams added a full mechanical repair and maintenance division in late 2012.

“We are thrilled to have Bob join us,” said Jay Adams, president of Adams Auto Body and Service Center. “Not only is he an extremely knowledgeable guy with an excellent reputation in his field, he’s also a genuinely nice guy – just a pleasure to be around.”

Miller, who lives in McHenry, said he will miss many of his former customers, but he is enjoying his new position.

“I fully enjoy all of the people I work with and I’m glad to be part of a well-established, local business,” Miller said. “Adams’ motto is ‘Customer satisfaction is always first,’ and that’s the way I have always operated.”

Fifty-seven-year-old Miller is a father of four and grandfather of five. He plans a June wedding with his fiancée, Sandi Wohlert, also of McHenry.
