Comment of the Month
“I’ve heard rumors thieves can ‘hack’ my electronic key fob remotely, but that storing my keys in my refrigerator will keep them safe. Should I be doing this?”
No. A concerned client called with this question and it was a real pleasure to debunk some “fake news”. Key fobs can’t be accessed or programmed remotely; in fact, when we have a fob issue here at the shop we have to call a locksmith with the special software tools needed to code the fob to the vehicle. You can rest easy; it’s just an urban legend and there’s no need to take any steps to protect yourself.
SCHEDULING 
REMINDER!
Summer is the busy season at Tom Dwyer, so keep that in mind when you’re scheduling for summer service. If you have a trip coming up it makes sense to get your vehicle checked before you go, but in our busy times it can be hard to accommodate last-minute appointments. Please try to schedule as far in advance as possible to make sure you get the service YOU need, on YOUR schedule!
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!

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.
