Yunick ran "Smokey's Best Damn Garage in Town" on Beach Street in Daytona Beach, Florida from 1947, when he opened the garage repairing trucks, until 1987 when he closed it, claiming that there were no more good mechanics. The garage, which was the last remaining sign of the innovative mechanic, erupted in flame on April 25, 2011 at about 7 p.m. and was destroyed. Little remains, except portions of the block walls.
