Shiawassee county resident Joseph "Robo" Green is the owner of a company called RoboJoe Industries. His website, www.upthemileage.com, is a site designed for, and devoted specifically to Appliance Repair. Greens' web site provides promotional information for RoboJoe Industries and offers very decisive and beneficial advice on maintaining your appliances and how to know when to call a technician as opposed to risking personal injury or death while trying to do a repair on your own. Unlike most other service companies, RoboJoe Industries is currently giving away free service calls and will accept a custom tailored payment plan based on individual need, in order to help provide some relief and make life just a little bit easier. Quote: " It is my hope that the information contained in this site, combined with the personal service that this company has to offer, will save lives." (Robo) Green created this company in 2004. Up until now, it has only been promoted through word of mouth referrals. For people who have not had the opportunity to catch one of the circulars, RoboJoe Industries now has a very wide spread online presence. Simply try a Google search and you will plainly see 2 pages or more of information related to this company. Also, there are now yellow page ads in 2 Shiawassee county phone books, and 2 very distinctly marked company trucks which can be seen at any given place at any given time along our local roadways. Michigan, having been declared as having one of the highest unemployment rates in the country, is currently suffering a harsh economic crisis. Green says that, as a small business owner, he feels humbled by how warmly the people in his community have welcomed his company. Quote: " Folks here in Michigan are tremendously hurt. I started this company ...with ...nothing! Being poor does not make us unworthy, as "human beings". I'm just trying to provide a quality service to people who simply can not afford to have their appliances repaired by a professional and give some dignity back to this community. It makes me very sad to know that there's an unemployed single mother of 4 out there who can't cook Thanksgiving dinner for her children because the stove won't heat and she doesn't think she can afford to have it fixed, or, she can't do laundry because the washer is broken down. I work with people and try to help relieve them of some of those types of burdens. The bottom line is, I would rather fix it for nothing than to have someone in despair getting injured or killed trying to fix it themselves." You can call Mr. Green anytime at (989)666-5023 or e-mail: robojoesupertech@gmail.com
