Three down and two to go… you don’t have many opportunities left to enjoy the Sellwood Summer Concerts! They’re part of a city-wide program by Portland Parks and Recreation bringing free movies, concerts, and events to parks around Portland. Our particular concerts happen in Sellwood Riverfront Park where you can relax on the grass, enjoy a picnic, listen to music, and watch the sunset. Make sure you drop by the Tom Dwyer booth to say hi and enter to win an office chair mat made from the late lamented PDX Airport carpet. 
If that’s not enough, we’ll have more contests and giveaways for your kids while you chat with us about your vehicle. And here’s a trick that only readers of this newsletter will know– parking can get cramped at the show itself, so feel free to park at the Tom Dwyer Shop and use the Springwater Trail to walk to the show! Music, food, prizes and fun, and EASY PARKING… don’t miss the FINAL TWO 2016 Sellwood Park Concerts!
Future engineers and artists working on their designs for the “Car of the Future” at the Tom Dwyer booth. We’ll show you what they came up with in our next newsletter.
You’ve missed these already…
July 11- Keegan Smith (original urban Americana)
July 18- Pete Krebs & the Portland Playboys (old school western swing & honky tonk)
July 25- Edna Vasquez (velvety Latin pop rock with folklore roots)
Check out the progress of the Sellwood Bridge from your front-row seat in Riverfront Park… it’s almost, almost, ALMOST done!
But there’s two more left to enjoy!
Aug 1- Karen Lovely (award winning contemporary blues)
Aug 8- Quarterflash (energetic 80’s rock)
Stop by the Dwyer booth and enter to win this office mat made from the PDX Airport Carpet!
Referral Reward Program
Summer is our busiest time of the year, which is great for our Referral Reward Program and great for the groups we’re are helping. The Referral Reward Program is our way of saying “thanks” for your generous referrals without even the appearance of impropriety… there’s no possibility that your referral to your friend could be tainted by a free oil change or discount for yourself! It’s absolutely simple… whenever a new client comes in because of your referral, we call you and donate to the non-profit group of your choice. Donations are based on the new client’s initial purchases, and vary from $10 to $50. In July we were able to make 12 donations totaling $513 to these groups…
American Diabetes Association by Jerry B.
Friends of Tryon Creek by Jake P.
Oregon Humane Society by Jimmy H. and Amy B.
KBOO Radio by Lynn S.
JOIN PDX by Stacy Y. and Chuck F.
Special Olympics Oregon by Steven M.
Community Music by Jennifer P.
Girls Inc. of the Pacific Northwest by Christine S.
Boy Scouts of America by Grigsby C.
Baby Blues Connection by Hans M.
That’s July’s individual monthly donations, but these groups are also eligible for Quarterly and Yearly Awards as well. Up till now we’ve been picking these awards in-house, but no longer… we’re expanding democracy in our own little way so starting next month YOU’LL have the chance to vote for our Quarterly Award Winner! Stay tuned to Shop Talk for the details!

It’s not bad yet, but the coming heat will soon turn our parking lot into a dust factory. We can’t wash all the vehicles we service, so we created Carwash Coupon Season from May through September to make up for it.
Get a coupon for a FREE WashMan car wash (with minimum purchase)
CarWash Coupon Season only goes through Sep 15, so act now to get the sparkly vehicle you’ll love. Sorry, but we only give coupons for services exceeding $125 and not for oil changes or other minor services. So why don’t we just wash your car here? It’s one of the most common questions we get, so click here and we’ll let Tom himself tell you why…

Latest Automotive Recalls
Automobiles 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. The last month’s recalls are below, but clicking the button at right will take you to the full list at the NHTSA website.
