Ahhhh!!! 2017 is now behind us. Time to reflect. What did we accomplish last year? Who did we lend a helping hand to? Are we better people than we were at this time ast year? A few pounds heavier or a few pounds lighter?
At First City we try to be even better than we were the year before. A better business, be better people and never lose focus of what’s most important, family, friends and community.
Okay, time for us to look in the mirror for last year. 2017 in review for First City Cars and Trucks and what we’ve accomplished!!!
