My name is Charlie Marcotte, I am the owner of American Pride Automotive with four service locations in Hampton Roads. We have been in business for over 25 years and have always made our team our number one priority. 

I am against additional regulations such as what is proposed in DOLI 8926. Additional regulations, when not needed within an industry, simply open up opportunities for disciplinary action that may not be needed and the possibility for abuse by opportunists. Even in the case of false claims, the costs associated with a solid defense can be immense and even put a good business in terrible jeopardy.
