Meet the Motor Works Staff

(Michael) Dave
Henkin,
Service Consultant
B.A., ASE Service Consultant, Certified
A graduate of the University
of Maryland with a degree in Business, Dave brings to Motor
Works, Inc. 22 years of customer service and business skills.
David is actually Michael's middle name and we've
trained him to respond to "Dave" to avoid the obvious
confusion with "the other Mike", Mike Winokur. Dave lives
in Columbia, MD and spends his spare time with his son Brendan,
his wife Misty and her daughter Taylor. Dave loves listening
to music and it is rare to see him without some playing in the
background. He is currently restoring a 1963 Oldsmobile Dynamic
88 and occasionally you will find him at the race track on a
temperate Friday night. As the client liaison and service
advisor, Dave is your primary resource for help and information
regarding the care you receive.
