Did you know we sponsor a few podcasts at Ervine's and Grand Rapids Hybrid?  One of the podcasts is called GR Rideshare Adventures Podcast. It's a podcast that talks gig-economy but mostly Uber and Lyft driving. On a recent episode Jason Teri and I sit down and chat all things Ervine's Auto Repair and Grand Rapids Hybrid!
