In the late 60’s, Mr. Acker went into the Auto Mechanic business working for Bill Wood Foreign Car Service, a business which he later purchased in 1975, and renamed it to Ron’s Foreign Car Service. Thirty plus years later he continued the business but instead continued as Ron’s Automotive Machine Shop.
