The afternoon brought Harford County and the City of Havre de Grace to Wilhelm Automotive that recently moved from a small location at the corner of Superior St to 315 S Juniata St at the old Coca Cola plant. The County Executive Barry Glassman recognized David Wilhelm’s perseverance and commitment to quality service. The increased area for vehicle bays has also allowed the number of mechanics to be hired. Mayor Bill Martin also recognized David’s commitment to community and David’s support of Ducks Unlimited, the world’s leader in wetland and waterfowl conservation. http://www.wilhelmautomotiveinc.com/
