Business of the Month: CARS Collision Auto Body Specialist

Each month I recognize exceptional business owners around my District by highlighting a “Business of the Month.” If you would like to nominate a business for future newsletters, please call my Antelope Valley office at (661) 729-6232.

CARS, Collision Auto Repair Specialist in Hesperia has only been in business for 15 months, but owner Carlos Sarmiento and his team have already made a positive impact on the Victor Valley community.

Just one month after opening their doors, CARS graciously provided Thanksgiving dinners and Christmas gifts to those in need. Ever since, Carlos, along with his family and staff, has continued to partner with the community to raise funds for our local veterans, children, cancer patients and a number of other charitable causes.

This month, CARS hosted the First Annual Smoke-Off Barbeque along with the Don Ferrarese Charitable Foundation which raised thousands of dollars for the annual Veterans Holiday Tribute.

Through his business, Carlos has truly contributed a great deal to the 21st Senate District. It is an honor to recognize CARS, Collision Auto Repair Specialist as my April 2016 Business of the Month!
