Joe Janetski, a mechanic at D J's Automotive Center at 713 S. Mission Road, was born in Midland and has lived in Rosebush for the last 19 years. Since the economic recession, Janetski said that business has slowed down. "People don't have money to fix cars, and there are more unsaved cars on the side of the road than I've ever seen. More cars are coming in with parts falling off. No one's doing preventative maintenance." Just as people don't have extra money for car parts, Janetski doesn't have extra money to spend on what he calls toys. "Get your priorities straight," Janetski said about how to keep up cars on a limited budget. "Don't put garbage [in your car.] People are putting $1000 sound systems and than a ball joint falls out. No one cares about tinted windows if the wipers don't work. You're not only endangering yourself, but others. Honest to God, steering and stopping are the most important. It doesn't matter how well it runs when you fly through the Mission/Pickard stop light."
