Our Referral Reward program…

September-2014-Bee-Ad-v1Our Referral Reward program continues to be popular with our clients-  10 groups received checks this month, with several receiving checks for the second, third, and even tenth time!  That means that as of this newsletter, 127 clients have helped the groups they care about to split $4,391 in awards.  Here’s how the program works…  Every time someone comes in and says they were referred by you, we write a check to the non-profit group of your choice (up to $50).  Not only will we make that donation, but your group will be eligible for quarterly and yearly awards as well.  We hope you take this opportunity to share Tom Dwyer Automotive with someone you know, and share a little money with a group that can use it.

The Sellwood Bridge construction is critically important, but it’s putting heavy pressure our business.  So far we’ve made it through without laying anyone off, but things are getting tighter and the bridge is still two years from completion.  Please, if you have a friend, family member, or co-worker who hasn’t tried our service yet, encourage them to come in.  It will be a big help to us and take advantage of this Referral Reward Program to help someone else as well.  We also have a generous First-Time Client offer to make your referral’s first visit more affordable. If you like what you have found at Tom Dwyer Automotive, please help us continue providing the level of service and satisfaction you’ve come to expect.  And from all of us here at the shop, thank you for your support over the years and thanks in advance for sharing what you’ve found with someone you know.

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