our community efforts

FROM THE OWNERS, JIMMY & NADINE ALAURIA


As Arizona Natives, our Phoenix community is very important to Jimmy and I. We also feel as business owners, that it is our responsibility to help our community.

We’re proud to be a leader in creating positive change for our community. We work with our fellow business neighbors, area residents, schools, Churches, neighborhood associations/block watches, our Community Action Officers in the Phoenix Police Department, as well as our District 3 Council Team and Senate and House Representatives in our District.


Jimmy and I are very passionate about creating a positive impact on society. It is a big part of our purpose. We hope you enjoy the updates we post here on the many amazing neighborhood events we’re honored to be part of. Please let me know if you want any information on upcoming neighborhood events. I’m always happy to share them!

SUPPORTING THE SUNNYSLOPE COMMUNITY WITH MORE THAN AUTOMOTIVE SERVICES


At 3A Automotive we understand that being part of the Sunnyslope Community means more than offering automotive services. Since 1975 we have made it our mission to support the community that we work and live in. 

Join us in creating the small town community feel that Sunnyslope is known for. You may know us for trusted automotive and truck service, but we strive to be so much more that a car repair shop.
