Our Referral Reward Program…

Year after year, referrals from our existing clients are our greatest source of new clients, so we’ve tried hard to think of some way to appropriately reward people for their referrals. Our solution is our Referral Reward Program, where we make donations to the non-profit group of your choice to say ‘thanks’ for your generous referrals. Here’s how it works…

For every new client you refer to us we’ll donate 20% (up to $50) of the qualifying purchases from their first invoice to the non-profit group of your choice.
At the end of the year we’ll gather the groups together from the year for our clients to vote on a Yearly Winner and make an additional donation of $1,000.00 to their cause.
We’ll be thankful for anyone you send us, but all their services might not qualify for their donation totals. Oil changes, tires, and batteries won’t count toward their qualifying purchases.
The person you refer must have a 15-years-old-or-newer vehicle of a type we service. Sorry, but our 15-years-old-or-newer policy still has to apply, and we can’t help with their Lamborghinis or semi trucks. (We should remind you that the “15-years-old-or-newer” restriction applies ONLY to new clients. If you’re an existing client and we’ve been servicing YOUR older vehicle, we’ll gladly continue to do so!)
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.

Here’s how it’s been going so far, and THANK YOU for your participation!

March 2019- We’ve got a big Referral Reward announcement to make this month! As you may know, our clients vote for Quarterly and Yearly awards from the groups who’ve been picked each month. That was getting a little overwhelming; it seems we were just getting out of one voting period and we were already into the next! So we’re simplifying. We are DROPPING THE QUARTERLY AWARDS for the program and making a YEARLY AWARD ONLY. But to make up for it, we are INCREASING THE YEARLY AWARD TO $1,000! That’s a lot of money on the line for any non-profit, and it will be UP TO YOU TO DETERMINE WHO GETS IT! We’ll start voting in the Fall, and announce the winner in our Jan 2020 newsletter… don’t worry, we’ll let you know when voting starts!

We’ve made 9 donations for $345 since our last count; a total of 581 donations totaling $25,264 since the program began! Here’s who our clients chose to help in March…
