Darrell Marx from Darrell’s Firestone from Farmington, MI joined the family business at 12 … not uncommon for most families to engage the children at an early age. At 16 he was certified in auto repair and began his career repairing cars.

He bought his Firestone stores in 1999 and 2000 and his sister Pamela is his partner. They now operate two locations with eleven bays and six technicians. Each location has full service gasoline and complete auto repair.

Darrell is a board member of the service station dealer association and a Bridgestone Tire certified retailer and is on Shell’s marketing advisory board.
