Hello! This is the first time I've visited my blog since I sold my business, Bertolli's Auto Body Shop, in August of 2017. To clear my head, I went to Burning Man with a friend who had been asking me to go almost every year since I had met him. I had an interesting time being so far from my life of routine, business and family responsibilities. It was a good way to clear my mind and spirit of the decades of business ownership. I've done a bit of traveling, had to move, bought a condo, sold an investment and started looking for a new career. I was asked to teach a class at College of Marin and became the first female instructor in the Auto Repair Department. I became the first President of the Las Gallinas Lions Club after 40 years of club history. Nowadays, I wake up, drink tea, do yoga and then work a temp job, or apply for a permanent job. I read about 'finding your purpose' and have yet to find mine. I do a lot of volunteer work a...
They call it Hot August Nights San Anselmo. This car show benefits the town's holiday lights fund. In January 2005, San Anselmo was under 4 feet of water and the flood devastated both merchants and residents alike. Why, city hall just opened this week after 20 months of rebuilding. Funding was lost for the holiday lights, so Helen and her daughter, Lauren Gregory of Bloomworks put together this fundraiser, among others so the town could celebrate the holidays in style and welcome visitors back to their newly remodeled shopping district. The car show was a success. Seventy seven cars were rejected and the money refunded because of lack of space. The cars that did make it were amazing. The best of show went to a '56 Kaiser Darrin - cream color exterior and red interior. Flawless beauty and the cool thing is that the doors open into the fenders - a pocket door on a car!!! I also saw a '61 Pontiac Catalina, the first car I drove and very seldom seen at car shows. I was driving ...
I just read a humorous article in Car and Driver entitled, "10 Used Cars to Avoid" written by John Pearley Huffman. My favorite part is about salvage titled vehicles: Insurance companies aren ’t in the business of losing money. So it’s a good bet that if a car has been written off as a total loss, it’s because it really was a total loss. If it had been worth fixing, the insurance company would have fixed it. It’s simple: If a car is so badly damaged that it can’t be fixed to an insurance company’s slight standards, to what standards could it have been fixed? So Insurance companies have slight standards?? Who knew? The point I'd like to make is, please, please listen to your auto body shop about the correct way to fix your vehicle. And forget, or don't believe what the insurance company says about the 'correct' way to fix a damaged car. They will tell you that the body shop is just 'ripping you off', but in reality, it's the other way aroun...
