Saving You From Automobile Headaches
This referral is from a reader. I appreciate you sharing your favorite local businesses with me.

    “Whenever my car is giving me trouble, I head to Bob Brown Chevrolet. The staff is knowledgeable and the thing I like the most is that they never look down on me or make me feel stupid because I don’t know much about cars. I can bring my car in when it isn’t acting right, and I know they will figure it out. They charge reasonable prices and I never feel like they take advantage of me. The service department fits me in quickly whenever I need repairs, and the car is clean and as good as new when I pick it up. We have been taking our cars there for years, and I would recommend them to all of your clients.”

Bob Brown Chevrolet is located at 4224 Merle Hay Road, at the intersection with Aurora.

The Service Department can be reached at 515) 278-7800.

Lint Van Lines - They make moving less stressful.

Here is the first referral I have received from one of you! When you are impressed by a local business, please share with me.
“As you know, I have moved and hired movers frequently. For my last move in May , I hired Lint Van Lines. The movers were scheduled to arrive to load our things on Thursday. On Wednesday evening, a lady from Lint called to make sure that we would be ready for them at 8:00 am the next day. The three men who came were on time, very pleasant and professional. They unloaded everything the next day and were careful with our furnishings. They were considerate enough to ask where we wanted the boxes placed and no items were damaged.”
If any of your clients are planning on hiring a moving company, they can reach Lint Van Lines at (515) 265-8161.

Handyman Service - When your "honey" does not have time.
Do you ever wish you had reliable help for those odd jobs that you just could not complete due to your busy schedule? Sometimes it is just plain hard to get that garden weeded, shrubs trimmed, lawn mowed, garage cleaned, repairs made, walls repainted, or anything else you would like to add to the list. Well, stop procrastinating and feeling guilty. You are not alone.

Make your "Honey Do" list and call Mike Gustafson at (515) 480-2720.
He is a multi-talented young man who is also in the music and video business, but that is another story. My husband and I have been thrilled with his reliability, affordability, and the great feeling we get when all those tasks are crossed off of our list.
You may also reach Mike by email at: handyman@zurecords.com
Contact him today to get the job done!
