Sellwood’s railroad owner, Richard Samuels, dies

David F. Ashton, Sellwood Bee, July 03 2021

Some of our clients have been with us for decades, and many have become friends.  Too often we hear of someone’s passing but we can’t really extend our sympathies to the whole Tom Dwyer audience.  We’re passing on this goodbye to Dick Samuels not only to recognize the passing of someone who shaped our precious neighborhood for years, but in some way to recognize the passing of friends of the shop we never get to mention.  Goodbye Dick, and goodbye to the many wonderful people who have passed through our shop doors and on to their next phase over the years.  You will all be missed.

OUR CURRENT SPECIAL OFFERS

If you’ve had service recommendations in your Tom Dwyer file since 1/31/21 (or before) but you just haven’t acted on them, then you can still save 25% off Labor Charges if you act on them before 4/30/21.  Even during a pandemic your vehicle needs consistent care, and Auto Amnesty is a great way to catch up on the services you may have been putting off.

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.
