Comment of the Month
Our Comment of the Month comes from a cat… well, from the Feral Cat Coalition of Oregon, who said on Facebook “Need some help with your car? For any new clients who mention an FCCO referral, Tom Dwyer Automotive Services will donate 20% of your first invoice to FCCO. What a deal! Purrs of joy for community partnership!”
That’s one insightful cat at the FCCO! Since our Referral Reward program started in 2013, we’ve been able to donate to well over 200 organizations in our clients’ names, all to say thanks for spreading the good word about Tom Dwyer Automotive. We’ve had a lot of positive feedback from our clients and the groups they’ve chosen, but there was a particular reason this post caught our attention…how often does a CAT show gratitude of ANY kind?
Referral Reward Program- VOTE our Quarterly Award winner!
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 August we were able to make 13 donations totaling $544 to these groups for a total of 225 donations for $13,095 not including quarterly or yearly donations…

We’ll give you the full list of three months of winners, and you’ll have to vote for one… just one… to receive a check for $200. Remember, saying “yes” to one means saying “no” to all the others, so what will YOU do? Check back in next month to find out!

One of the most frequent services we supply during this peak Summer driving season isn’t a repair at all… our clients line up to get their vehicles checked before they go out on their big Summer adventures. You may pack a lot of things for your vacation, but the Peace of Mind you get from knowing you’re driving a safe and reliable vehicle is way more important than a spare toothbrush!
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.
