Ron's Auto Sales in Lansford will celebrate 10 years with a customer appreciation month all of July.

Ron Hill, owner of the shop, bought the place in March 2006.He said he has had several dedicated workers over the years who've helped him along the way.Jeff Bachinsky worked there for five or six years, and currently Hill works alongside Bob Burack and Jermaine Thomas Sr., who has only worked at the shop for a few months, but has been friends with Hill for much longer."I'd like to thank everyone who has helped me to stay open for 10 years," said Hill.All throughout the month, cars will be sold at wholesale prices, with the special price of cars ending at the end of the month with a cookout on July 30.Everyone who comes in during July to take a test drive will get a raffle ticket to be entered to win a grill on July 30 at the cookout, where there will also be hot dogs, soda, and other food."We are showing appreciation for everyone who has helped us to be here for 10 years. We have the ability to sell cars to people with all types of credit. We believe in car payments, not mortgage payments," said Hill.The shop was bought by Hill when it was an oil shed.Thomas helped paint it and fix it up. Over the years, Hill said they have come to specialize in Subarus and all-wheel-drive vehicles. They sell cars to people all over, not just in Lansford and the surrounding areas."We specialize at keeping people at low, affordable payments," said Thomas.
