Daniel O’Connor joined the Shade Tree Garage crew after attending County College of Morris. He's not only the Service Advisor for the garage, he's also John O'Connor's son. According to John, "It is invigorating to be able to work with my son. He gives me a different perspective on the business." While having helped his dad around the shop growing up he is now excited to be part of a family-owned business. In September of 2005, Dan graduated from the RLO Service Advisor Academy where he gained a full understanding of automotive service requirements. He has also attended several training classes designed to enhance his skills at helping customers solve their problems. Dan is available to the customers and can guide them to make the appropriate decision to maintain their car just like the day it was new.
