The City has relied on outside service facilities to perform repairs that are beyond our service capabilities. Palms to Pines Automotive, L & L Automotive, Inc., and Ozzie's Automotive, Inc., have been selected for fleet repair services based the variety of inechanical services they provide, including CNG alternative-fuel vehicles, and their hourly rate. The hourly rates for these three vendors are: Palms to Pines $75, Ozzie's $79, and L&L $85. For any significant costly repairs, City staff will determine which vendor to use based on the most reasonable estimates received for the repairs needed.
