automobile owners, all of whom are
faced now with making not only

ern Chevrolet has added to its
already fine service equipment,
stepped in as an authorized
Buick service dealer for the
area, provided a gigantic stock
of Chevrolet and Buick parts,
and "alerted" its entire staff of
service men, all of whom are
factory trained. Complete one-
stop service, from washing to
frame and body straightening,
is emphasized. Lubrication,
botly repairs, metal and frame
straightening, painting are in-
cluded. .,
Scientific Bear wheel aligning
equipment offer the best to be had
in that field, explains Jack Hugh-
es. owner and operator of Western
Chevrolet. Also eliminating guess
work for the motorist is the latest
motor tuneup equipment for test-
ing motor efficiency.
On the lubrication rack, a car
is checked for any chassis, muffler.
shock absorber or similar trouble.
On the frame aligning machine,
any other trouble is located. The
"diagnosis": is a. free service now
being featured, no charge being
made for an estimate on any ser-
vice or repairs.
