Shop Talk is our column to… um, it’s where we… you can… OK, we really don’t have a clear definition of what Shop Talk’s about. It’s where we keep you up on things that are happening right here in the Fortress of Dwyer, but other things work their way in as well. We’ve been covering Comment of the Month where we answer one client’s response on our Post Service Comment Cards in-depth, but we also talk about our Referral Reward Program, coupons or special offers, shop features or additions, and some fairly odd mechanical issues. It’s not our most popular column but it could be the most valuable! Take a look at what we’ve covered in 2019…

Referral Reward Program
Our Referral Reward Program is how we say “thank you” to the clients who recommend our shop to their family and friends. When a new client comes in and gives your name as a Referral Source we’ll make a donation to the non-profit group of your choice, and all selections are eligible for our $1,000 Yearly Award as well. It couldn’t be easier!
We announced the winner of our First $1000 Yearly Award… congratulations to The Pongo Fund not just for winning, but for running a spectacular campaign to do it! We also made 10 donations for $339 since our last count; a total of 661 donations totaling $28,233 since the program began! Here’s who our clients chose to help in December…
Planned Parenthood of Col/Wil by Judith B.
Meals on Wheels by Rhoda E. Raphael House by Karen B.
OPB by Michelle M. and TWICE by Mark T. Shadow Project by Robert H.
Southern Poverty Law Center by Regina L. Generation Serve by Charli K.

Carbon Neutral Program- Our company’s commitment to the environment led us to partner with Bonneville Environmental Foundation to create our Carbon Neutral Program in 2007. Client members offset the carbon production of their vehicles for one year AND save 10% on Labor Charges here at the shop! It’s a win for you AND our environment and it’s been very successful… since we instituted the program our members have prevented over 1.9 MILLION POUNDS of carbon from being dumped into our air!
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…
Your reviews and referrals matter
We are constantly grateful for the supportive and loyal clients we have developed over the years. Your comments and appreciation keep us on the right road to providing the superior automotive service you deserve. Your reviews and referrals are not only the highest compliments we can receive, but they’re the lifeblood of our new business. If you like what you’ve found at Tom Dwyer Automotive Services, please tell a friend or take a minute to write a review on Yelp, Angieslist, Google, or the review site of your choice. Thank you!
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.
