"Local small business participates in family makeover show
airing on FOX network September 1st 2004"

"Too bad they never showed the vehicle we did for the family" - Kevin Slivinski

Hosted by best-selling author Jay McGraw, son of Dr. Phil McGraw, RENOVATE MY FAMILY is not just a home-improvement show – it’s a life improvement program that visits families who have encountered some challenges along the way. A panel of makeover professionals, designers, a construction crew and experts in many other fields help restore and redecorate the lives of families in need. One such family from Lemont, Illinois, was selected for a makeover. One Stop Truck Shop Inc., an automotive performance and accessory shop of Lemont was selected to “trick out” the family vehicle.

One Stop Truck Shop, Inc. completely transformed the family’s 2002 Avalanche in as little as 3 days. “We decided to change the Avalanche with our signature look we call Mono-Chroming – Kevin Slivinski said – owner of One Stop Truck Shop, Inc. “ Our friends at J & D Enterprises of Lockport, Illinois started the paint work to give us a fresh slate to add our chrome accents, graphics and 20 inch chrome wheels to name a few . “Without the support of our vendors and employees we could not have done this task in such a short time.”

Update: Unfortunately we were left on the cutting room floor and were not seen in the final episode.
Click below for actual photos of the vehicle we made over. We are trying our best to have our work
shown on the encore presentation.
