Verrillo Motor Car Stands With Mid America Motorworks Following Devastating Tornado

There are moments in life when the automotive community becomes more than a shared passion – it becomes a family.

This past Wednesday night, as powerful tornadoes swept across parts of the Midwest, the Mid America Motorworks facility in Effingham, Illinois, suffered devastating damage.

For Corvette and Volkswagen enthusiasts across the country, Mid America Motorworks is far more than a parts supplier. For decades, it has been a trusted resource, a gathering place for enthusiasts, and a company built by people who share the same passion for preserving and enjoying the vehicles we love.

Today, our hearts are with Mike Yager and his family, and every member of the Mid America Motorworks team. We are thinking of the employees who arrived to see the destruction, the families affected by the storm, and the countless customers and friends who have been connected to this remarkable organization over the years.

Buildings can be damaged. Inventory can be destroyed. But the spirit, determination, and resilience of the people behind Mid America Motorworks are far stronger than any storm. The automotive hobby has always been built on community, and communities come together when one of their own faces hardship.

At Verrillo Motor Car Co., we want our friends in Effingham to know that they are not facing this challenge alone. The car world is filled with people who understand the dedication it takes to build something special, and we have every confidence that the Mid America Motorworks team will emerge from this difficult chapter with the same strength and passion that has defined them for generations.

From all of us at Verrillo Motor Car Co., to all of you at Mid America Motorworks: we stand with you, we support you, and we look forward to seeing your remarkable team rebuild and thrive once again.
