Comment of the Month
This month’s Comment is a pretty common one. You may have even made this Comment yourself, in one form or another…
“It would be great if you could wash or vacuum my car.”
This seems like a natural part of the fanatic customer service we’re known for, and we’d gladly do it… if we could. Because we’re so close to the river there are City restrictions for water runoff that prevent car washes, and client privacy concerns that make vacuuming a bad idea. If you want the details we have a full article about it here. So if WE can’t wash or vacuum your car, what do we do instead? We leave it to the pros…
During the dusty summer months we offer coupons for a FREE CAR WASH at WashMan Car Wash, an Portland Pollution Outreach certified EcoBiz that’s made the investment to clean your car spectacularly with minimum environmental impact. We can’t do it for every purchase so you won’t get a coupon for just an oil change, but for most things beyond that you can have your vehicle washed on us!
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 Update
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’ve made 13 donations for $553 since our last count; a total of 614 donations totaling $26,573 since the program began! Here’s who our clients chose to help in June…

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.
