    Hood View Services Auto Glass Repair Adds Towing Service

    November 24, 2021

    Hood View Services, LLC is a mobile windshield repair service serving Hood River and the surrounding area. The company was established in 2019 and is owned and operated by Alexander and Danielle Stevens.  Alexander and Danielle are both long-time residents of the Gorge area. Alexander is the glass and repair technician and has over 15 years of experience in the automotive industry, and Danielle runs all of the financial and administrative aspects of the business. At this time, Alexander and Danielle are the only employees.

    With financing from MCEDD, Hood View Services, LLC plans to expand by adding a towing business to their existing mobile windshield repair service. They will provide services within a 60 mile radius of Hood River. The funding will be used to purchase two towing vehicles, as well as leasing additional space at their current location.  Hood View Services’ new space will be modified with two lifts to accommodate repairs and specialty work.  The business expects to add five full-time employees and one part-time employee within the next few months, with the new services operational as soon as January 1, 2022.
