Shop Talk- How You Can Save Money On Our Services

We all work hard for our money, and it’s never been more important to stretch it as far as possible.  However, it doesn’t pay to be a coupon shopper when it comes to auto repair.  If your brakes need to be fixed then they need to be fixed NOW, not as soon as there’s a coupon for it.  On the other hand you have to budget your vehicle maintenance money, so you obviously want it to go as far as possible.  Everyone faces this same problem, so we came up with the Moneysaving Maintenance Programs we’d like to see for our own vehicles, programs that are consistent with our goal of sensible automotive maintenance.  They’re designed to save you money as well as increase the effectiveness of our maintenance and repair services.  We encourage you to sign up for one (or all!) of these programs to maximize the effectiveness of your auto maintenance dollars!

Our Carbon Neutral Program is a partnership with Bonneville Environmental Foundation that has already offset more than 1.4 million pounds of carbon from our atmosphere.  It’s a one-year membership that helps offset the carbon output of your vehicle, and saves you 10% on labor.  This is our easiest way to save money quickly.  We take the 10% discount as soon as you sign up, so if you’re doing a repair with $500 in labor then the labor discount will pay for the membership fee in just one visit! You get the cash discount, you have the good feeling of driving carbon-free, and you can’t beat the cool window cling sticker you get as a member!

Because planned, coherent maintenance is so important to the life and performance of your vehicle, we designed our Planned Maintenance Package to encourage exactly this type of sensible planning.  It lets you buy your full year’s vehicle maintenance needs up-front.  You save at least 50% on all the basic maintenance services you’ll need throughout the year, including oil changes, tire rotations, interval service inspections and more.  You save the most money of any of our savings programs but, more importantly, because the maintenance items you’re getting are so critical to the reliability of your vehicle, you’re getting the most value.

If you’re reading this then you’re probably already a Tom Dwyer client.  Our First Time Client Offer might not be useful to you,  but if you’d like to share our service with family or friends it can be a big help.  For most new clients we recommend our Comprehensive Inspection so we can establish a baseline condition for their vehicles.  This coupon takes $75 off the cost of that inspection, and we’ll waive the other $75 if the user has a minimum amount of work done.  Our First Time Client Offer is a great way for anyone get started on the road to coherent vehicle maintenance… the best way to save money in the long run!

Vehicle maintenance is cheaper than repair, but that still doesn’t make it cheap.  As drivers ourselves we understand and sympathize, and we want you your maintenance dollars to go as far as possible.  Please, consider how these programs can benefit you, then talk with one of our Service Advisors to sign up and start saving!
