The Dealer Alternative Takes "Best Ladies' Room" in AutoInc. Photo Contest

Congratulations to Dian Gallo of The Dealer Alternative in San Antonio for submitting the winning entry for Best Ladies' Room! Gallo is the latest winner in AutoInc.'s Shop Photo Contest, which is being held throughout 2008 to recognize shops for their efforts to improve the image of the automotive service industry.

"Best Ladies' Room" Photo Contest Winner The Dealer Alternative, San Antonio, Texas

The Dealer Alternative, a mechanical shop, features an upscale bathroom with a beautiful mural that was hand painted by a San Antonio artist. The bathroom has a gorgeous vanity with a pewter bowl sink and, says Gallo, offers the kind of amenities that you'd find in a home: hand lotion, specialty soap and only the best toilet paper. For submitting the winning entry, Gallo will receive a certificate of recognition and 25 free copies of this issue of AutoInc.

A panel of judges – composed of Automotive Service Association (ASA) staffers – selected the winner based on attractiveness, professional appearance and functionality of the waiting area.
