Shop Talk- A rare blizzard of special offers

aaaShopTalkButtonWe tend not to run service discounts very often, but we know everyone loves to save money.  As it happens, though, we have two special offers going on right now that you might want to consider.  One will help others and is going on all year, but the other helps you and has a short window to act…RestOfNewsletter

NEW Referral Rewards Program- Donations to causes you care about

Year after year, referrals from our existing clients are our greatest source of the new clients our business needs to thrive.  Referrals are the highest compliment we can receive, and we’re grateful for every one.  We’re trying a new way to say “thank you” that may also help people who need it… our new Referral Reward Program gives money to the groups you care about everytime you refer a new client to us.  Here’s how it works…

  • For every new client you refer we’ll donate 20% (up to $50) of the qualifying purchases from their first invoice to the non-profit group of your choice.
  • Each quarter we’ll highlight the client and group with the most referrals in our newsletter and make an additional donation of up to $200.00 to their cause.
  • At the end of the year we’ll highlight the client and group with the highest total referrals in our newsletter and make an additional donation of up to $500.00 to their cause.
  • We’re thankful for everyone you send us, but we can’t count all their services toward their donation totals.  Oil changes, tires, and batteries won’t count toward their qualifying purchases.
  • Referrals don’t have to come singly; you can coordinate your group to come in as a whole.  In fact, we have a sample letter you might want to use to tell them about the program.

There are some basic restrictions we’ve posted on our website, but it’s really just that simple.  So please, keep telling your friends, family members, and co-workers about us, and thank you from all of us!

Sellwood Bridge Discount- 20% Off Labor!

Our second offer is to make up for an upcoming inconvenience caused by the Sellwood Bridge, as it closes for only the second time in its reconstruction.  Traffic will be affected Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, Feb 17-19, and you should probably take the Ross Island to get across the Wilamette.   What are we doing about it?  Well…

If you schedule your vehicle for work during the week of Feb 16-22 we’ll take 20% OFF YOUR LABOR CHARGES (up to $200)!

This doesn’t apply to oil changes or other services under $100, but if you have a big repair like a timing belt, heater core, or brake job that you’ve been putting off then this may be the ideal time to do it.  YOU MUST MENTION THIS DISCOUNT WHEN YOU SCHEDULE SERVICE because it is NOT VALID AFTER COMPLETION OF SERVICE, and it CANNOT BE COMBINED WITH OTHER DISCOUNTS, but that’s easy.  Come on in next week and save some money!

Latest Automotive Recalls 

RecallListButtonAutomobiles are just like any other product; occasional flaws in manufacture or design can cause problems once they leave the factory.  When an issue is identified the manufacturers and government work hard to bring the vehicles back in for refit or repair, but not all recalls make the front pages.  The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration maintains a constantly updated list of recalls from every manufacturer.  Click the button at left to see the full list at the NHTSA website.
