Community support key to businesses' success

Posted September 15, 2018 1:00 am

In September, our company is blessed to be celebrating its 25th business anniversary. A lot has happened in 25 years and a lot has changed. Our business has now become progressively immersed in tech, to streamline work and keep up with the rapidly changing industry.

Yet along with our mission of making automotive repair understandable and convenient while reducing the cost of ownership, one element that has remained constant is the support we have received from the communities in which we serve.

Each of these communities - Barrington, Crystal Lake and Fox River Grove - have unique, treasured histories of their own. Each have municipal offices that support entrepreneurs, small business owners, and innovation. And each have an engaged public who support local business and work hard to ensure that their community's vitality is preserved. And for this, we are most grateful.

All of us at Douglas Automotive offer our sincere thanks to those who support their communities and the businesses within them. It's your support that help to make the Northwest suburban market a great place to live and do business.

Doug McAllister, President
