Neto's Auto Body can repair any car Joe Neto may be the new autobody man in town, but he certainly isn't new to autobody repairs. The owner of Neto Autobody in Whit- by has been working on cars ever since he can remember. From his younger days back in Portugal to more recent years at Gus Brown Motors and Oshawa Car Care, Neto has always prided him- self on his precision work on car bodies. For the last nine years, he has run his own body shop in Bowmanville. While Neto's shop wasn't cen- trally located, word of mouth spread fast, and customers sought him out. Despite his Bowman- ville success, however, Neto decided this year to move his business westward. "I think I have a good chance of doing well here," said Neto gesturing to his newly renovated shop on Warren Rd. in Whit- by. "This town is booming and I'm willing to work hard." As Neto's operation is still relatively small, he says he can keep his prices low. Unlike the many shops that send their collision work out. Neto does everything from straight paint jobs to frame-straightening in-house. His shop, equipped with a unibody frame straightening machine and a MIG welder. can accommodate 12 cars at a time, and several oversized trucks. While unibody frames are new to a lot of North American autobody professionals, Neto worked on them in Europe for years before they gained popularity here. Joe Neto gets help in his business from his family. His wife Edith keeps the books, and his 16-year old son helps out after school -- learning the trade from his dad. Only the 4-year old Neto boy has yet to get into the act. But if the rest of the family's interest in cars is any indication, it won't be long. champions, bantam provincial "A" cham- pions, peewee provin- cial "B" champions, with the novice provin- cial "B" finalists and the tyke provincial "B" quarter-finalists - each age group contributing to a super year. The paperweights, the up-and-coming stars of the W.G.R.M.L.A. made their debut at the Scar- borough Peanut Tour- nament, an excellent achievement for our three and four year olds. The combined efforts of all the W,G.R.M.L.A. teams, gave Whitby the prestigious association title in the Hamilton Super Series. This'was the first year that W.G.R.M.L.A. in- troduced a house league, a lot of fun was had by ail, and next year will be bigger and better. Whitby also hosted the All-Ontario Tyke Provincials with some excellent lacrosse and entertainment provided by Ronald McDonald and W.G.R.M.L.A. resident "gorillas"! The success of this lacrosse season is due not only to the players but to the devotion of their coaches and managers, the many parent volunteers throughout the association and our sponsors - Anne Shad- dock - Century 21 Gold Jacket Realty, Brooklin, Brooklin Kin- smen, Hideaway Bingo, Checkers Variety, Garrard Road Lacrosse and Taumka Motors. With the start of the house league, we added five more sponsors - Advance Nails & Lashes, Advance Lubricating Systems, Superior Metal Finishing, Ivan's Hair- styling and Garrard Road Lacrosse.
