Dear Editor:
Re: Longtime Cove Mechanic Looks Back, Jan. 29 North Shore News story.
My late husband started taking our cars to Central Motors when we moved to the Cove 21 years ago. He was extremely pleased with the service and advice he received from both Tony and Jeremy and always had lots of advice and gossip to share after being in the shop.
When Don passed away from leukemia in 2014, I was anxious and panicky about a lot of things, especially the things Don had always handled, like car maintenance. The first time I brought my car into Jeremy for servicing after Don’s passing, I told him I knew nothing about cars or car care because Don had always done that.
“Don’t worry,” he said. “We’ll take care of it.” And he has! I am very grateful.
It would be great if the Central Motors building and the business could be preserved and made a part of the (proposed) new development when (if) it happens.
It would be a shame to lose this cornerstone of Cove history.
