                       Thursday, January 11, 2024

  Mr. GOMEZ. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in celebration of the 35th 
anniversary of One Stop Auto Care, an outstanding community auto shop 
that exemplifies the entrepreneurial spirit of small businesses. One 
Stop Auto Care has served the communities of Northeast Los Angeles, 
Pasadena, and Glendale since opening for business on Eagle Rock Blvd in 
1989.
  One Stop Auto Care was founded by Gerry Vicario when he was 25 years 
old. Prior to opening the small business, Mr. Vicario worked at his 
uncle's tire shop, which is where he discovered the need for an auto 
repair shop in the community.
  Mr. Vicario and his wife enthusiastically opened their business and 
have since expanded their services to include tires, oil changes, tune-
ups, brake repair, and more. One Stop Auto Care grew from one employee 
to eight experienced technicians, and they have remained focused on 
helping the people of our community.
  I congratulate Mr. Vicario and the entire team at One Stop Auto Care 
for their continued dedication to providing exceptional automobile 
repair service to Angelenos. I would also like to recognize Mr. Vicario 
for supporting various community events and organizations throughout 
Northeast Los Angeles. I look forward to seeing One Stop Auto Care's 
continued growth and success.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring and 
celebrating One Stop Auto Care on its 35th anniversary.
