We would like to welcome a new sponsor for the 2020 season, Dave Sampson of Oceanside Auto Appraisers.
I as well as many acquaintances have had our vehicles appraised by Dave. He has been hard at work here on Vancouver Island for the past 15 years. For Dave, it is all about the cars. If you need an appraisal for insurance, purchase or what ever you require, be sure to talk to Dave.
