Goodbye to David Coquet, a friend of many years

This month we wanted to say a fond farewell David Coquet, a friend and colleague of many years.  Dave started with us back in 2006 and he kept our Domestic vehicles in top shape until a few months ago, when the cancer he’d battled for many years came back with a vengeance.  Dave was a warm presence in our shop whose smile and humor always made the work week more fun.  He was a go-to guy in so many ways, and his loss will mean a hole in our work and in the lives of all who knew him.  Goodbye to Dave, and our deepest sympathies to his friends and family.

Comment of the Month

Matthew K. left us a very short, very complimentary review on Google…

“Integrity matters and they have it.”

It really doesn’t cut any closer than that.  Integrity is what we strive for; without it nothing we do has value. There’s no greater compliment we could receive, and we definitely wanted to say thanks to Matthew and blow our horn a little bit to you.  It’s a good start to the New Year!

Shop Talk’s not one of our most-read columns, but aside  from our Comment of the Month and current moneysaving offers, we do have some interesting things in store for you.  For example, in 2021 we told you Who Gets Hurt By High Repair Prices, and you can count on us to keep you posted on all the construction coming to our section of Sellwood in 2022.  Stay tuned! 

We also have a couple ongoing offers you might find valuable…

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.
