Just  about a year ago PEPPER created  “Your Neighborhood Car Guy Network of Arizona”.  The response and results are far greater than we ever could have imagined.  We now have six members who share referrals with PEPPER’s.

The business model envisioned by Richard Pepper Fisher was one that has resulted from many years of business experience which loudly whispered sage advise:

• Overhead will kill you
• Biggest does not necessarily mean best
• Employees mean added liability exposure
  (and headaches)
• Keep it simple--stupid
• People want value and affordability
• People appreciate consistency (same driver)
  

All of our members are very affable, professional and mature guys dedicated to providing the very best and affordable transportation services within their own geographical areas of concentration---just your neighborhood transportation guys!  For the most part, we are all seniors just trying to survive in this wacky economy.  Some are retired; some are just supplementing their incomes; and some just prefer the freedom and flexibility a car service offers its owners. From our combined bases of operations we offer our Phoenix car services to the residents of Cave Creek, Carefree, North Scottsdale, Paradise Valley, Scottsdale, Tempe and Fountain Hills.  From these areas we can go anywhere within the state upon request and advance reservation.

Our name says “Guy”, but we would welcome any qualified female….would we have to change our name to “Your Neighborhood Car Person……..?

Our expanded fleet gives us much greater flexibility and diversification.  We recently transported a family of eleven with tons of baggage and golf clubs. It took two vehicles, but we were still cheaper than other services using  a limo or SUV or Arizona Van transportation.

On Halloween night we had five vehicles on assignments simultaneously.

Most limo and sedan services make their money from leasing the vehicle, radio, credit card machine to the driver.  Consequently, the drivers have to be “rolling” many hours each day/week just to pay for the basics.  We certainly don’t poo poo hard work and many hours behind the wheel, but it does have it’s negatives.  Just like airline pilots, a driver needs to be wide awake and alert. Our Phoenix car service drivers do not service bars in the area waiting outside for last call in the wee hours of the morning.  We  are typically at home getting a good night’s rest.  We work by advance reservation only.  This may seem like a trivial point, but it is important to us.  We choose not to be like “Those Other Guys”. 

It’s mind boggling to think of what we read in the media about people complaining that their unemployment benefits are limited to two years.  If no one will hire you-----HIRE YOURSELF!  Our business model will provide an excellent opportunity to be independent, self reliant, resourceful and most importantly, income producing.  You choose your hours and dictate your life-style. (See related story)

Think about it. A car service is recession proof.  People always need to go somewhere. Airport, medical appointments, social outings.  We created a niche where we fill a void and are very affordable---about half of what some of our competitors are charging. 

One competitor recently stated  that he won’t let his vehicle roll unless he gets $120 plus automatic 20% added gratuity (one way). We  charge $65-$75 for the same trip. Because we are affordable  and reliable,  we enjoy a very loyal customer base.  Our clients not only use us repeatedly, but also refer us to their friends and associates. 

We service Desert Mountain, Mirable, Terravita Winfield, Bellasara, Dove Valley Ranch, Grayhawk, Desert Ridge, Paradise Valley and everywhere in between.

We will transport to any location a client needs to go; pricing will vary with distance.
