SLO County supervisor candidate Geoff Auslen has earned the dubious distinction of being one of the rudest business owners in Atascadero. An issue that voters need to consider when choosing who to elect in the June election.
As the owner of Glenn’s Repair & Rental, Auslen works as a small-engine mechanic and leases out equipment. Long before he announced his candidacy, members of the community trashed Auslen on Google and Yelp because of his alleged rude and bullying behavior.
Here are a few reviews: Nick Crafts on Google, “Very rude and not helpful. Now I know where NOT to take my business.” Guy Callari on Google, “Most expensive and least trustworthy repair shop in the area.” And from Jessika S. on Yelp, “The owner was extremely rude and acted like we were idiots.”
Can you imagine how he will treat constituents who have an issue? Vote for anyone but Geoff Auslen.

Thank you!
actually Google rates him as 3.6 stars and Yelp as 3.5 with 3 being average so I would say that you’re cherry-picking bad reviews.
I’ve always liked Mr. Auslen. He’s knowledgeable and a problem solver, in my opinion. His political ideology is not mine, but I can respect him. There used to be a day when conservatives and liberals could talk without resorting to name calling or other unpleasantries.
Unfortunate that this letter writer would like to smear him without giving any personal anecdotes. Yelp and Google are full of the usual social media miscreants who are quick to be slighted and have nothing better to do than vent their anger on the web.
