Will is the well-intentioned yet inexperienced manager of the Westchester branch of Valley Forge Automotive Center, a family-owned auto-repair chain. As the heir to the business, he strives to revitalize the struggling shop and make his father proud. However, his lack of managerial skills and poor decision-making often lead to humorous mishaps, such as overordering inventory or implementing ineffective initiatives. Will's earnest efforts are frequently undermined by his cousin and employee, Shane, who delights in tormenting him. Despite these challenges, Will remains committed to improving the business and earning the respect of his employees.

His sharp wit and irreverent humor often disrupt the workplace, creating a dynamic where he challenges Will's attempts to bring order to the shop. Despite his disruptive behavior, Shane's charisma and humor make him a central figure in the shop's daily operations.

Cal

Actor: Chris O'Connor

His reserved nature contrasts with the more boisterous personalities in the shop, providing a subtle comedic element to the workplace dynamics.
