Round 1: Which Local Small Business Has the Best Customer Service?

Great customer service can be hard to find, but sometimes it makes all the difference.

That's why we think it's worthwhile to recognize local businesses that go the extra mile to treat customers right.

With March upon us, it's only fitting that we've taken the top 64 businesses that joined the Pinellas Beaches Patch and let them compete against one another, tournament style, to crown a champion of customer service.

So who treats their customers the best? Tell us by voting.

Vote in the polls below to support your favorite local businesses and help them move on to the next round.

The leading vote-getters in each pairing as of noon Friday will advance as we work our way down to the ultimate customer service champ in town.
