Melvin Fite, Service Advisor |
 | - Melvin was born and raised in Georgia. He has been in the transmission business for forty years, starting out as an R&R man, then becoming a builder, and eventually owning his own transmission shop. After thirty-three years as a shop owner, Melvin decided it was time to relax some, so he closed his business, Prestige Transmission. He soon found retirement to be a bit boring, so Melvin decided to help us here at Speedy Marietta. We are thrilled to have him! In his spare time, Melvin enjoys working on vehicles, driving fast cars, and watching auto races. He is so proud of his son who served five years in the United States Marine Corps, and he also adores his two shih tzus.

 | - We are so pleased to welcome Samantha Smith to our Speedy Marietta family as our administrative assistant. Samantha was born in South Africa but moved to the US at an early age, being raised mostly in Georgia.

Sam is inquisitive and an avid learner. She enjoys being at Speedy Marietta now because she loves to learn new things about cars.

Angela Wheeler, Marketing Coordinator |
- Angela (aka Angie) is the most recent addition to the Speedy family. She has worked out of Washington D.C. as an editor and marketing coordinator for twenty-five years. Her family recently moved to her husband's home-state of Georgia a few years ago. Angie loves the beauty of Georgia and the friendly people. One of her favorite sayings is "I wasn't born in Georgia, but I got here as fast as I could." When she's not at the Speedy Marietta shop helping Kristina with marketing, she loves spending time with her husband, Scott, and their children. Angie loves crafting, painting, and home DIY projects. She has just started gardening but is reserving comments on how much she enjoys it until she knows if anything actually survives.

Rafael Espinoza, R&R Technician |
 | - We are so thankful to have Rafael Espinoza on our Speedy Marietta team! He has been in the transmission business for many years.
He is always on time to work, and when he is not turning wrenches, he is cleaning the shop. Without fail, he gives 100% effort each and every day. Rafael is a dedicated family man and LOVES spending time with his wife, children, and grandchildren. He enjoys helping others and can often be found helping his friends and neighbors. His age is a secret, but let's just say somewhere along his life journey he discovered a magical potion that lets him work circles around his younger team members!
