Dee Auto Village, 1171 Park Ave, Cranston, RI 02910, US

Auto Mart is owned by Walter "Bill" Ohanian, but if you drop by, you're more likely to meet his mother, Sally. Her desk sits next to a wall covered with the photographs of 30 years of satisfied customers, while Christmas cards and christening announcements fill the window on the other side. Mrs. Ohanian boasts that since opening in 1982 they have never had a Better Business Bureau complaint and that most of their customers come from referrals by previous clients. The Ohanians specialize in domestic, one-owner cars and trucks, and they usually have a number of contractor-type vans on their small lot. Opening hours are limited, but you can call for an appointment outside of the posted hours. Although empty at the moment, there is a service garage in the same building.
