By LISA BOAZ
Special sections writer
Colony Car Care, located at
7545 Main Street, has been in
business for more than 10
'years. And during those 10
years of hard work, owner Fer-
nando Gonzalez has built a
clientele who have come to
know and trust the quality and
service they receive when they
deal with Colony Car Care.
“We are probably the only
auto shop in The Colony which
has remained under the same
ownership and management
for this length of time,” Gon-
zalez said. “I believe in being

customers. I try to tell it like it is.
