MOVING SERVICE Fire Rescue Moving
Firefighters generally work 24 hours on duty at stations, followed by 48 hours off duty, so many do other work on the off time. Fire Rescue Moving has been in business for more than five years, using off-duty firefighters who double as professional movers.

CAR DOCTOR 2 J's Automotive
This repair shop draws customers from Tarrant, Denton, Parker and Wise counties, and the number of votes from our readers showed that. 2 J's is a full-service repair shop but refers to itself as "Your Transmission Physician."

SPOT TO GET FIT CrossFit Iron Horse
It stands to reason that if the readers picked Candice Ruiz, co-owner of CrossFit, as the Best Fitness Instructor, they also would pick CrossFit as the best place to get fit. And they did. In heavy voting. We guess CrossFit and Camp Gladiator must have a special fitness class for index fingers, because their fans sure made a lot of mouse clicks in voting for them. Are there click-enhancing drugs?
