Page 16 THE VILLADOM TIMES IV • March 25, 2009 Magic of Mahwah Get star treatment at Beverly Hills Hand Car Wash tuart Rosenberg founded Beverly Hills Hand Car Wash & Detailing in 1992 with the goal of treating customers the way he wants to be treated: with respect. From the start, he pledged to provide complete automobile detailing using top quality products. Stuart’s motto is: “If I wouldn’t use it on my car, I certainly won’t use it on yours.” In addition to serving many private customers, Beverly Hills handles detailing for several car dealerships. “If you want something done right, come to us,” Stuart insists. His business is the only full-service hand car wash and detailing in the Mahwah, Ramsey, and Suffern (NY) area. He points out that automatic car washes wash a vehicle, but his staff cleans your car. At every stage, a staff member is working by hand. Stuart points out that a machine cannot determine that it has missed a spot and go back to fix its mistake. “Service is our hallmark,” he Stuart Rosenberg adds. “We treat you and your car like a star.” Stuart is proud to offer quality work at a fair price. When he extends a discount, he is clear about the original price of the service and exactly what a client can expect to pay. “My worst nightmare is that someone will be less than satisfied and won’t tell us,” he adds, noting that he is willing to take action to make any situation right. Stuart says he treats his employees like family and many have stayed with Beverly Hills since the enterprise opened. Customers, he says, love to see familiar faces. Stuart has great respect for his community and is happy to help people when they ask for support. His business also helps to fund four scholarships at Mahwah High School. Beverly Hills Car Wash is a member of the Mahwah Regional Chamber of Commerce and was Business of the Year in 2004. Stuart has been a member of the Mahwah Chamber Board of Directors for the last 11 years.

You May Not Need a New Driveway… racks and potholes do not necessarily mean that you need a completely new driveway, according to Rich of McFarlane Driveway Restoration. The McFarlane family has a history of servicing the Bergen/Passaic area. Getting a new driveway costs thousands of dollars, but Rich and his crew are ready to restore the driveway you have as an economical alternative with the latest Asphalt recyRich McFarlane cling and infrared equipment available. They are a Blacktop Company that has gone GREEN! McFarlane Driveway Restoration fills potholes with hot asphalt – not cold fill that rapidly decays. The hot asphalt is then melted along the edges, forming a direct seal with the driveway. Best yet – your driveway will be ready for traffic within 24 hours. It seems Rich was destined to get into the family business. His parents drove him home from the hospital – his very first ride -- in a paving truck, a safe choice for the newborn given the blizzard conditions that day. As he grew up, Rich heard potential customers asking if the company repaired potholes, which it did not at the time. Rich decided this area would be a great niche for him, and his success in this specialty area followed. Ask Rich and his team how they can help you extend the life of your current driveway. His company also applies seal coat to help protect driveways against deterioration. Rich recommends resealing the driveway at least every two years to replenish asphalt, which can become aged and weathered. Restore yours today!

Mrs. Ayre’s class The 2009 curriculum has been expanded to include “Mommy and Me,” a program that introduces moms and toddlers to the school environment in a friendly, supportive atmosphere. Besides the more established “First Step,” Level 1 and Level 2 Developmental programs, we also offer a pre-kindergarten enrichment program with computers, a hands-on science program, and “Handwriting without Tears.” Special events include apple-cidering at Lorrimer Sanctuary, hayrides at Secor Farms, maple-sugaring, trips to the wildlife center, and visits to the school by Outragehiss Pets.
