Perfect Recipe: Blue Ridge Blends U-Haul, Experience in Raytown

RAYTOWN, Mo., Jan. 21, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Blue Ridge Auto Truck Plaza has been producing satisfied customers for 29 years and owner Willie Rickel is excited to introduce U-Haul® trucks, cargo vans and trailers on his property.

Previously a Mazda® store, Blue Ridge Auto Truck Plaza performs automotive repairs, buys and sells used cars, and now offers top-of-the-line moving equipment to the Raytown community.

Blue Ridge Auto Truck Plaza is at 6824 Blue Ridge Blvd. just off Highway 350 and minutes from Interstate 435 on the northwest side of Raytown. Hours of operations are 7:30 a.m.-6 p.m. Monday-Friday and 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Saturday.

Prior to opening Blue Ridge Auto Truck Plaza, Rickel sold cars for various dealerships. He now works hard to make his business the go-to auto shop in Raytown.

Frank Mitchell, the parts and service coordinator, said they have been in the community a long time so most customers are happy to keep coming back. Mitchell worked in parts and service at a motorcycle store before transitioning to Blue Ridge Auto Truck Plaza. Everyone at Blue Ridge Auto Truck Plaza is knowledgeable and well established in the field.

"This is reassuring for many our customers," Mitchell said.

Blue Ridge Auto Truck Plaza has seen a nice bump in business since its U-Haul affiliation went into effect. Raytown is located approximately 15 minutes southeast of many central Kansas City attractions like Arrowhead and Kauffman Stadiums and the Country Club Plaza.

Blue Ridge Auto Truck Plaza is a great place to become U-Haul Famous. Take your picture in front of a U-Haul product, send it in and your face could land on the side of a U-Haul truck.
