PLEASE VOTE for our 2025 Referral Reward $1000 WINNER!
We’re very proud that most new clients of Tom Dwyer Automotive Services find us through our existing clients… people telling their friends and family what they’ve found with us. We used to say ‘thank you’ for your Referrals with certificates for our Minor Interval Service but in 2014 Tom began to wonder, if a client has a self-interest in making a referral doesn’t that ‘taint’ it a little? Even unconsciously? That was the start of our Referral Reward program, where we say ‘thank you’ by making a donation to any charity (or other non-profit group) you choose. It’s a win-win-win… we get to show you how valuable your word-of-mouth is, a deserving charity gets a little boost, and you can recommend us with absolutely no conflict of interest.
And it’s not just an individual donation! We take all the groups we’ve donated to through the year and put them all in competition for a single, $1000 Yearly Award. Since the Tom Dwyer Referral Reward Program started in 2014, we’ve donated $40,871.47 to hundreds of organizations large and small through the end of 2024. This year we added another $2,727.13 to the total for a new total of $43,598.60 with ANOTHER $1000 ON THE WAY!
If you’d like all the details of the Tom Dwyer Referral Reward Program, including groups we won’t donate to, why you may not have been called about a Referral you made, a list of our past Yearly winners, and even a list of each of the groups we’ve made individual donations to, it’s all here.
But it’s that remaining $1000 that brings us here today… IT’S VOTING TIME!
