Raymond Cooksey has been working in the Puyallup community for 30+ years. After returning from the United States Marine Core, he began working at Chevron on Meridian in 1987 and within the year he was running it. Then in 1998 he bought the repair operation and started his own business, and has owned and operated it ever since. He learned to work on cars as a young boy and found he had a love and knack for making motors run and restoring classic cars.
