Shop Talk for August

Referral Reward program

Our Referral Reward program is our way of saying “thanks” when our clients so generously refer a new client to our shop.  It’s not a bribery program because YOU don’t benefit, but the non-profit and charitable groups you care about do.  Every time a new client comes in because of your referral we’ll make a donation to the non-profit group of your choice.  RestOfNewsletterNot only that, but they’ll be in the running for quarterly and yearly awards as well.  It seems to be working… since this year’s program started in February, we’ve made 61 donations for $2,441.61.  Here are the groups that benefitted in July…

Comment of the Month

Comment-of-the-Month-ButtonAlex P. said “By now you know our car better than we do.  You are our kind of people; the kindness, humor, integrity, generosity, warmth, intelligence (and overall cuteness) will keep us coming back every time, every car.  I always come away from your shop loving America!”

Thanks Alex!  We couldn’t let a comment like this go unnoticed.  We’re very proud of our team, for all the reasons you so generously listed.  We try to hire people not just for their qualifications (although that’s obviously the first hurdle) but for their personalities as well.  It makes a better environment for everyone here, and our clients obviously appreciate it as well.  And as for loving America… Alex, you do the same for us!

Latest Automotive Recalls 

RecallListButtonAutomobiles 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.
