Sabra realized that disruptive innovation was the only way to revolutionize the aftermarket. As a visionary, Sabra saw that there was a glaring system and talent gap in the industry regarding restoration. Sabra’s innovative thinking led him to create his legendary 25-step build process. Sabra created a detailed systematic approach to building vehicles that outlines the flow of the build process. Sabra then built a multi-campus company to implement his 25-Step Build Process along with his signature restoration accounting, billing, and design platform. Sabra’s 25-step build process is now the standard when it comes to professionally building a vehicle.
Sabra’s visionary insight, innovative thinking, and faithfulness were all honed for many years through para-church ministry and full-service ministry until his retirement from pastoring and church leadership.
