Cars, New and Old
Foreign and domestic, whatever the age. Tires, brakes, shocks and batteries are all on the board out front, and oil changes including synthetic.
Since 1962
The same corner for over sixty years.
There is a routed wooden sign at the shop that reads Est. 1962, and a banner under the canopy that says Fifty Years Strong. Both have been there a while. Snow's has been fixing cars on this stretch of Chapman Avenue since before most of the buildings around it went up.
It has stayed a proper working garage rather than a franchise. The bays are open to the street, the signs are hand painted, and the person who talks you through the job is the person who looked at the car.
Chapman University is a few blocks east, so a lot of the cars coming through belong to students and to parents who live too far away to help. There is a university discount painted on the window for exactly that reason.
The Est. 1962 sign at the shop.
