As years went by, we were restoring a Healey per year to sell and other Healey owners began asking Bruce to service their cars. His regular job became more of a part time job and the Healey servicing required his full attention. The parts shortage led to the acquisition of parts cars, and the parts started to creep into the house-first filling the basement, then the attic. Finally one day we woke and realized we were even sleeping with windshields under our bed-that was just too much! So in 1980, Bruce quit his job and started "Healey Surgeons" in a small 3000 square foot building in Hyattsville, MD. We soon realized a major bottleneck to our efficiency was the parts situation. So I too gave up my job and worked full time in sourcing parts. Profits from the service end of the business were plowed into stocking of inventory. Once we reached a level that allowed for satisfactory fill rate and we were confident in the quality of goods we were selling, we opened up the mail order parts business. To maintain quick service and better inventory control, the business was computerized in 1984. ...
