 I Married A Car Guy: My Journey Toward Car Literacy

 Welcome to the non-automotive automotive blog. My name is Debbie Nol, and I have been the Business Manager at Arie Nol Auto Center since 2000.

I’m glad you’re here, and I look forward to you getting to know us a little bit better through this blog!
