Sam and Lori Lucas
Lori Lucas fell in love with cars at a young age.
As a teenager, she could tell the make and model of most cars in the dark, just by the headlights.
Lori graduated from Lindbergh High School in 1979 and began her automotive career in 1980 at an import automotive warehouse.
In six years Lori worked her way up the ladder to become general manager of the warehouse.
In 1995 Lori gave birth to Sam.
While on maternity leave, Lori got a fantastic job offer from a repair shop in downtown Webster Groves (RPM Automotive).
The new job would work out better for Lori in two ways: a better schedule to allow her to care for Sam, and a better opportunity for long-term career advancement.
At RPM Lori became familiar with the service side of the business, and she became a successful service advisor.
In May of 2002 Lori and Sam's lives took an unexpected twist.
Six-year-old Sam was diagnosed with Atrial Septic Defect (a hole in his heart) and would require open-heart surgery in June of 2002.
Lori was forced to take a leave of absence from her job.
...
After a couple of weeks of serious consideration Lori decided to join the team at Najjar Car Care.
...
Lori and Sam are both huge Cardinal fans.
When Sam is not playing baseball, Lori and Sam like to watch Cardinal games.
In July of 2008, Sam's baseball team travelled for a tournament to Cooperstown, New York.
Lori was able to visit the Major League Baseball Hall of Fame while there.
Lori loves people even more than baseball.
Her customers are impressed not only by her knowledge of vehicles but also by her helpful, caring attitude.
