James J. Molek

I just learned of Jim's passing today and am shocked. My entire family (and many friends I recommended him to) trusted Jim w/our cars since he was at the Marathon Station back in the 80's. He was one of a vanishing breed of "old school" neighborhood mechanics you could always trust and count on. Honorable, personable, and very hardworking, his passing is truly a loss for the community.

I am still in shock and heartbroken for you and your children. I just learned of Jim's passing last week. He was the first and only mechanic I trusted going back to his days at Marathon and depended on him many times in many ways. I know how devoted you were to each other. If there is anything I can do for you please do not hesitate to ask. You and your children are in my thoughts.

We are very shocked and sad to learn of Jim's passing. We've only been coming to Jim's shop for about two years now, but in that little time had come to trust and really feel like this is the automotive place for us to turn to for all our vehicles. The community has lost a good business man. We express to you our sincerest sympathies. Our hearts and prayers are with you and we grieve along with you during this incredible time. God bless you all.

Joann and family,
I am so sorry for your loss and for all of us who have lost the best and most honest mechanic I've known. Jim was a great person. I'm glad I new him.

I first met Jim when his shop was on Hudson Drive back in the late 90's. He always went out of his way to help me with cars. His most important quality was his honesty, which is a rarity in his profession. He always took the time to explain things to me in great detail. I will miss seeing him at the shop and talking with him about cars. He always treated both me and my wife with respect. He even invited my family to a Christmas party at the shop a few years ago. He will be greatly missed by...

My family was so saddened to hear about Jim's sudden passing. He was one of the most honorable businessmen we'd had the pleasure of working with thru the years. While we did not know his family personally, we wish to extend our condolensces during this difficult time. - The Brandt, Dula and Canter families

Jim's family is in my thoughts and prayers. I was shocked to hear about Jim's sudden passing and have his business family in my thoughts and prayers, too. He was a business man who could be trusted and who would take the time to offer friendly advice to a relatively new business owner. I will miss my conversations with him. He was truly one of the good guys. I am so sorry for your loss.

On behalf of Autozone and our team members. I would like to express our sincere condolences to the Molek family. Having worked with and talked with Jim on almost a daily basis over the last few years. I have come to know Jim as a great and honest person, as well as a great buisness man. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
