June 6, 2017 Nhat Pham

Butch and Kim Taylor are the owners of Titan Auto & Tire, a full-service auto repair shop that is also a qualified hybrid service center. Not only are they well known for giving back to their community, their business was voted the 2014 Small Business of the Year by the Chesterfield Chamber of Commerce.

They run their business off a solid foundation of personal values. They prioritize honesty and integrity not only in their work, but also in how they treat their employees, and their efforts to give back to their community. As their business grows (now at two locations surrounding Richmond), they work to maintain their reputation built on honesty and hard, innovative work.

Join us in Episode 21 as we talk about what it’s like to work as a married couple and business partners, staying current with technological trends, and the different challenges and opportunities that come with running your own business.
