Hot wheels and hot deals Dave Hassell, owner/operator of Hassell's Automotive on Mountainview Rd. N., believes in winning on the race track and looking after his customers at his shop. With 23 years in the automotive service business, (including nine straight Reader's Choice awards, 6,000 cars sold and approximately 4,000 registered clients) Hassell's Automotive gives their clientele the feeling of comfort and stability, whether buying a car, fixing one or just getting an oil change. Hassell admits he's had to make changes to keep pace with the growth of Halton Hills. After beginning as a single-man shop, Hassell's now boasts 14 employees, many with multiple licences and specialties, including A/C and full state-of-the-art diagnostics. Hassell proudly says that each and every car he has sold has been personally hand-picked and believes the results show. Photo by Eamonn Maher
