Employee Days at Braxton
Each September, Steven Braxton hosts an all-expenses-paid adventure for employees and their spouse or guest, which we proudly call Employee Day. It's more than just an amazing trip—it's an opportunity to bond with co-workers and their families outside of work. While participation is optional, most of us join in, returning with unforgettable memories and fantastic pictures. These experiences not only strengthen our team at work but also help us forge lifelong friendships.
Rolling Thunder River Company
We took a 1.5-hour drive north to McCaysville, GA, where we got some serious coaching on river survival techniques. After gearing up, we hopped on a bus for a quick 20-minute ride to Tennessee, where our adventure began. We unloaded our rafts and plunged straight into freezing waters. We powered through about 20 rapids before stopping for lunch. But the day didn't end there—after refueling, we jumped back into the rafts, navigated around a dam, and tackled another 20 rapids. The sun never showed, temperatures stayed below 70 degrees, and the water was a brisk 62 degrees—but despite the chill, everyone had an amazing time. The smiles in our pictures below say it all!
SkyDive Atlanta
Another adventure! Braxton Automotive took Employee Day to new heights—literally—at Skydive Atlanta! To our surprise, everyone participated, and we had an absolute blast. It was refreshing to spend time with co-workers and family without worrying about deadlines or workloads. Some of us were nervous, others excited, but most of us landed with huge smiles (and a couple holding their stomachs, LOL). One thing's for sure: we'll have plenty to talk about on Monday! Check out the pictures and share the adventure with us.

The Ultimate BMW Experience
Spartanburg, South Carolina
We shut down the shop, hopped on a bus, and made our way to Spartanburg. The building itself was stunning, but the real excitement was inside. After a quick safety course and signing a stack of waivers, we proved we were old enough to drive and hit the track. We had free rein to push those BMWs to their limits. One track had us racing around tight curves on wet and dry surfaces—an absolute thrill! Another track was all about speed—full throttle, then slam the brakes, and repeat. Pure adrenaline! Then came the challenge of seeing how fast we could accelerate about 20 yards before an abrupt stop. Intense! We also tested Land Rover's hill descent on a simulated mountainside—simply amazing! After all that action, we piled back onto the bus and headed to Dave & Buster's for some pool, dinner, and laid-back fun with the crew.
Atlanta Motorsport Park
Dawson County, Georgia
On your mark, get set, go! Employee Day at Braxton Automotive, we took a thrilling trip to Atlanta Motorsports Park in Dawsonville County, Georgia. The day was all about go-karting, and let's just say—when you put a bunch of automotive technicians on a track, the competition heats up fast! Everyone had a blast jockeying for position, with plenty of friendly rivalries and laughs along the way. A couple of our team members enjoyed it so much that they even went back a few weeks later for another round! From near misses to unexpected victories, the day was filled with excitement, and as always, we left with great memories and stories to tell.
