Meece Car Audio
10 year anniversary
“It’s basically a bread and butter shop”
Jeff explains. “From Bentleys to Bugs… boats, Harleys, side by sides…we do it all. Bring it in and we’ll get it done.” Alright…We’re just going to come right out and say it; Jeff Meece is an audio N.E.R.D. (Never Enough Rockford Doom). You know the guy we all cheated off of in science class, we were thinking about lunch and he was thinking about how to get the most out of his car audio system.
Yeah, everyone wishes they were one of those types of nerds. Well, to date there have been 540 different people that can say they have been to space, but less than half that amount can call themselves a Mobile Electronics Certified Professional, MECP, ‘Master Installer’ and Jeff is one of those lucky few. After 15 years in the install bay, Jeff opened his own shop, Meece Car Audio, with a focus on two business philosophies; attention to detail and giving back to the community.

Advanced Stroke Care Right Here at Home
A stroke occurs when the blood vessels that supply blood to the brain are blocked or ruptured. This condition is the fifth leading cause of death and a leading cause of disability in the US. In the event of a stroke, each minute matters to avoid lasting brain damage. That’s why Palmdale Regional is an Advanced Primary Stroke Center.
Types of Stroke
When a clot completely blocks the flow of blood to the brain, it is called an ischemic stroke. A hemorrhagic stroke occurs when a blood vessel ruptures and cannot send blood to the brain. A TIA (transient ischemic attack), also called a mini stroke, occurs when a clot temporarily blocks blood flow.
Signs of Possible Stroke? BE FAST!
When a stroke strikes, every second matters. As time elapses, damage to the brain can be more severe. Learn to BE FAST if you think you or a loved one is having a stroke.

EYES – Has the person lost vision in one or both eyes or have they had sudden double vision?
FACE – Ask the person to smile. Does one side of the face droop?
AR MS – Ask the person to raise both arms. Does one arm drift downward?
SPEECH – Ask the person to repeat a simple phrase. Is it slurred or strange?
TIME – Time is critical! If you see any of these signs, call 9-1-1 immediately.
