I just took our car to Ronnie's Auto Repair at University and Roosevelt and he did me quite the favor.  He has always been honest and treated me fairly.  I have been hearing that his business is down and that he has always relied on word of mouth.  Many people in the neighborhood do not even know of his business and how convenient his location is to residents in our area.
 
Thanks.

Local First Arizona is an organization that promotes using local businesses for every type of transaction, service or exchange. It has also been active politically where local businesses can join together to act as a force for change. The economics of buying an using Local are impressive. Suggest you go to the website below to see who in your neighborhood has joined. The people that did the initial footwork were Kimber Lanning, Cindy Dach at Changing Hands, and Michael Monti. Mu firm happens to be a charter member. I hope that Ronnie's Auto takes advantage of the benefits and very inexpensive membership in this organization.

please see the website below, and i suggest that whenever you're online looking for whatever, you might try here first!
