Jan. 30, 2020—OnDeck, an online lender to small businesses in Arizona, announced C and C Automotive of Bullhead City, Ariz., as its Small Business of the Month for January 2020. Owned by husband and wife team Frank and Lori Cosenza, the auto repair shop is a fixture in the thriving community and tourist area adjacent to Lake Mohave and the Colorado River.
The Cosenza’s opened C and C Automotive in 2011 in Bullhead City after moving to the area from Oregon. An experienced auto repair technician, Frank was seeking a warmer climate to open his own shop. According to wife Lori, their first choice for a business location in Bullhead City turned out to be the wrong one.
“We opened our first auto repair shop in a section of the city that did not have a lot of commerce,” says Lori. “After struggling for a while to attract customers, we even thought about going back to Oregon. Luckily, after learning more about the area and developing a keen sense of where an auto repair shop would be needed, we moved to a new location and definitely got it right the second time.”
C and C Automotive is now located off Highway 95 and Riverview Drive in Bullhead City, Ariz., a growing region bordering Laughlin, Nev., and Needles, Calif., roughly 90 miles south of Las Vegas.
