Best Mechanic

A good mechanic is hard to come by, and according to you, Ed Harrington is not only good, he’s the best. And, sadly (for you, not Ed), he’s also retired. That’s right, all you Volkswagen-ers. After 36 years in the business, your man Ed has finally made official what he’s been hinting at since last December—and what an exit. The business is already under new ownership, but Ed’s wife Mary assures us the Harrington Enterprises name—and passion for the Volkswagen—will live on. 6041 Stairs, 453-4272.
