—Benny Webster plans to support the Mariposa Museum, in dire need of fundingHot Topic Letter"After working at this garage for ten years, then pouring my heart and soul into creating my own auto repair business for the next seven years, Andrea’s Auto will be closing its garage doors for the last time later this month. This decision did not come lightly, as I have cherished every moment serving you, our loyal customers."
