Cara and Kyle Gannon are a true husband-and-wife team. They started DSA Performance, an automotive repair shop specializing in import cars, in 2019. Stacia Thiesen, a Small Business expert at UBT, helped them get started with a checking account and a business line of credit to help them manage inventory and operating costs. Stacia describes them as “awesome people and so very down to earth.”

They worked hard on their business and started to experience significant growth. In 2020, they made the move to a larger location and even added a new trailer. That’s when the pandemic hit. Stacia and UBT helped them secure PPP loans that helped them stay afloat through tough times. Since then, things have been looking up for DSA, and they still reach out to Stacia whenever they need anything — and Stacia reaches out to them when her family’s cars need work.
