Local Business in Pacific Missouri...Fuller Automotive

I met some new business owners the other day.  I needed an inspection on my vehicle and found Fuller Automotivein Pacific, Missouri could help me.  I spent about 45 minutes in the office/waiting room with Bryan and Dannette.  Both of these people were kind and helpful.  I also me the owner, Tom Fuller.  He walked into the office and said hello, how are you today.  I replied not too bad to which he said that was awesome. 

I let them know I was in the market for a good shop to take my vehicles to when they need repairs.  Thus far, my luck with mechanics has been marginal at best.  Tom told me they would be happy to take car of my automotive needs.  He seemed genuinely concerned with my issues with automobiles and repair shops. 

While at Fuller Automotive, I asked Bryan what type of car he would recommend.  He gave me his answer and then I asked Tom.  Both seemed to lean toward American cars and encouraged me to search for one.  I still love my car but it is getting older and I am sure I am going to need more repairs done on it.  Maybe I will keep it, but at least now I seem to have made some new friends.

I am happy to say, the car passed inspection and I have my new plates on the vehicle. 

If you need auto repairs in the Pacific area, give Tom and his team a call:  636-271-2025.  They are located in Pacific Missouri on Old Route 66 just west of highway 44.  Pacific Missouri is located 33 miles west of St. Louis Missouri off Highway 44 at exit 257.

If you would like to be featured in an article on my website, please contact me and I will do my best to stop by and get to know you.

Mexican in Chesterfield Missouri..... Salina's Mexican Restaurant

Take time to stop by and get a bite of really great Mexican food, Salina's is located off Clarkson Road a little south of Wilson Road in charming Chesterfield, Missouri.  This restaurant is small but very tasty.  They serve the traditional salsa but they also add a twist with their spicy bean dip.  The chips were nice and crunchy.  The chimichangas were spectacular and the spicy chicken quesadillas were flavorful.

After a day of shopping or working in the yard, it is nice to have someone else cook and clean up.  The service was very good and the atmosphere very traditional.
