A longtime Traer business is celebrating 20 years at its “new” location on the east edge of town.
AWE moved from the auto shop addition at the north-side gas station to the Vokoun Co. site in 2005. The business is owned by Gretchen Pargeon, whose husband Mike died in 2018. (By happenstance, I happened to see Mike on his last day.)
AWE is hosting an open house on April 4 from 2 to 7. The North Tama Telegraph has an interview with Pargeon and a history of the auto shop.
