Steve Robinson owns Reflections Car Protection in Springfield, Ohio, but his path to running his own shop started when he was 15 years old, cleaning his dad's Harley on weekends.
In this episode of Live From Springfield USA, host Josh Taylor sits down with Steve to talk through how a childhood chore turned into a full-time business:
The moment he finally walked away from his 9-to-5 supervisor job at US Express
Why he built his own enclosed detailing bay last October
Ceramic coatings vs PPF: what they actually do, and why a $200 ceramic job should make you nervous
His pivot toward classic car restoration and his new "Barn Find Revival" YouTube channel
The night his friends surprised him with a 1957 Chevy Bel Air he now calls Bonnie
Why he removes paint transfer and does extra work without ever sending a bill
It runs a little longer than usual, but Steve's story has a lot of layers: entrepreneurship, family, Springfield pride, and a guy who genuinely wants to help people even when he's not getting paid for it.
