Tom Casey was the owner of the Kevin Webster-managed Casey's Garage and father of Mark. Casey's Garage came to be when Tom bought Tilsley's Garage in Albert Street from Gail Tilsley in March 1989. Gail had inherited the garage upon Brian's death and drove a hard bargain for it, insisting that Brian's assistant Kevin be kept on. Meeting Kevin, Tom was impressed that he'd been coping without any help for a few weeks and noted that he was a capable manager. He offered Kevin the job of garage foreman, though when Kevin questioned why his job wasn't guaranteed, Tom pointed out that he had other garages, including one where they just fixed tyres, that he could move him to. Kevin accepted, and in return Tom promised him a hired hand.
