Why We Love Sanford, Florida

From its rich history and close-knit community to the scenic riverfront and thriving small businesses, there are countless reasons why we love Sanford and are proud to call it home.


In 1959, our great-grandfather and grandfather chose Sanford to begin the next chapter of Harrell & Beverly Auto Repair. It was a wise choice that we are thankful for.


Here are several reasons why Harrell & Beverly loves being located in the heart of Sanford, FL.
