Frank Myers Auto Presents: It’s Tassel Time

Posted on by

It’s tassel time! Graduation season is in full swing and if you are anything like me, you’ve been procrastinating on finding the perfect gift for the special grad in your life.

Sure, cash is king and truth be told, that’s what I preferred when I graduated but sometimes you just want to do something a little more personal—something that makes an impact and says, “You’ve got a great future ahead of you, kid!”

Here are a few ideas that are sure to mean something to your grad, and will impact their future in a real, tangible way for the better!

A Book Bonanza

In this virtual age of the Kindle and the tablet, many forget the pleasure of sitting down with a hardcover book. Why not put together a collection of the most important books you’ve read over your lifetime? This thoughtful gift will bring rewards that far outlast a trip to Cancun or an iTunes certificate. To take this gift up a notch, personally inscribe each copy with a quote that you’ve taken from the book. This will “wet their appetite” and serve as a reminder of how much you value them. On a side note, a great book for the grad is Uncle Frank Sez. It’s written by the owner of Frank Myers Auto Maxx, Tracy Myers, and is packed full of “life advice”.

A Hope Chest (for ladies only)

What young lady wouldn’t cherish a place to stash their school memorabilia and the memories she’s created over her lifetime? Graduation is a perfect time for a young woman to gather up her mementos and take a trip down memory lane. This gift can be passed down to future generations. Engrave the chest with an inspirational quote to make it even more personal. Make sure and take her personal style into account when choosing a chest! While a nice cherry chest may work for some, other modern ladies would love white lacquer.

College Spirit Stash

Is your high school grad leaving for college soon? Help him or her arrive prepared by putting together a collection of goodies for his or her new alma mater. You can include everything from clothes to decorations, even a customized license plate. Your grad will surely appreciate arriving in spirited style the first day on campus.

Writing Kit

A high quality ink pen evokes success. Select a fine writing instrument for your grad. Pair it with customized stationery to set the stage for your grad to come across as serious and professional. Perhaps you’ll receive the first “very impressive” thank you note!

Luggage with Personalized Tag

Everyone should have at least one piece of fine luggage—at least that’s what my Grandma told me. Unfortunately, not everyone can afford to buy this luxury, especially most graduates. Your favorite grad will be sure to appreciate this gift for years to come. Pair the bag with a personalized luggage tag to make it even more memorable. Who knows, maybe they’ll even take you on their next vacation, or at least send you a postcard.

Ok, time to go shopping or surfing! Graduation season will be gone before you know it so enjoy celebrating the next generation. Until next time . . .

Winston Salem Auto Repair Shop Becomes Certified O’Reilly’s Auto Repair Center

Posted on by

When Tracy Myers, owner of Frank Myers Auto Maxx, recently decided it was time to place a new Winston Salem Auto Service & Repair sign above his door, he said O’Reilly Auto Parts was there to help pay for the addition.

Myers said the assistance is just one of the benefits he has taken advantage of since becoming an official O’Reilly’s Certified Auto Repair Center more than three weeks ago.

A nationwide warranty for their customers, quality auto parts and quick delivery times are other advantages, Myers said, that have stemmed from his partnership with O’Reilly.

Frank Myers Auto Gets A Call From O’Reilly

Myers opened his auto repair facility to the public in 2010. He said O’Reilly had always been the shop’s main parts vendor, so when O’Reillys asked him to partner with them as a Certified Auto Repair Center, it just made sense, he said.

Myers, who started working with the family business in 1993, bought the dealership from his father in 2006.

“We always worked really well together and have a unique father-son relationship,” Myers said. “He always made it tougher on me since I am his son. I had to learn a lot. One thing in particular that I learned was the importance of a relationship with our parts vendors.”

Through his relationship with O’Reilly, Myers said he has found a parts distributor that really wanted to fulfill his needs.

“They have enough trucks and manpower to deliver parts in a reasonable time, which is really a key factor as to why I deal with O’Reilly,” he said, adding that the majority of his parts orders come from O’Reilly.

Helping Winston Salem Auto Repair Customers

Myers said that becoming a Certified O’Reilly’s Auto Repair Center is also beneficial to his customers because they receive a nationwide warranty on the work performed on their cars.

“If one of my customers is traveling out of town and breaks down, they can get set up with another Certified Auto Repair shop throughout the country that will take care of them under the warranty,” he said.

“The new partnership with O’Reilly’s is amazing,” Myers said. “They are a trusted name in the automotive parts and repair industry and we are fortunate to have been asked to be on their Team.”

He said he hopes to bring on new accounts thanks to the improved efficiency they have as an O’Reilly’s partner and bring back some old accounts that were unsatisfied with the other parts suppliers they had been using.

“The new partnership gives us a better warranty and lots more flexibility, which is what our customers want,” he said. “With the old way of doing business, I was losing some business because their was little to no warranty on the service side of the business. Now, thanks to O’Reilly, we have the 12m/12k mile warranty on service which has eliminated comebacks and helped get some business back.”

ASE Technicians In Winston Salem

Along with the new warranty, Myers said he has added an ASE Certified Technician and lots of state-of-the-art tools. He also has three technicians and one service writer but is looking to add another service writer so he can focus more on the business.

“I am handling the marketing, training the Team on how to deliver excellent customer service and staying in tune with what is going on in the garage,” he said. “I have learned that I have a lot of things to do, and I can’t do it all. That’s why I have surrounded myself by the best team in the biz”

As much as possible, though, Myers said he likes to stay in touch with his customers and the work performed on their cars.

“If I run across a customer at Wal-Mart and they start talking about their car, I don’t want to be clueless about what they are talking about,” he said. “Not only that, but I also just like to know that everything is being taken care of.”

Who Else Wants To Swap Their Old Ride For A Nicer, Newer Car At Frank Myers Auto Maxx & Get Paid For The Pleasure?

Posted on by

 

During The Great American Car Swap, Get Up To $4,297.00 More For Your Old Ride So You Can Get A Car You’ll Be Proud To Own And Drive

Winston Salem, NC – Trading something you’re bored with for something new and exciting is no longer just for flea markets and swap meets. Baseball cards, stamps, coins and other trinkets are the traditional fare for swapping, but local car dealer Tracy Myers of Frank Myers Auto Maxx is upping the ante and modernizing the swap meet with his most anticipated savings event of 2012 – The Great American Car Swap.

Myers has banded together with dealers from across the nation to give Americans this chance to get rid of the old car they hate driving.

Tracy told us, “The Great American Car Swap is good for business and good for America. This is an event that may never happen again! I’m pulling out all the stops to make this SWAP one for the record books! I don’t think anyone should have to drive a car they aren’t excited about and during this event, I don’t want to see anyone leave without a nicer, newer car! That’s why I’m offering up to $4,297.00 more for the old car you’re tired of.” 

During the Great American Car Swap Winston Salem residents get a chance to lower their car payment, reduce their down payment or get a nicer, newer car with extra upgrades (for the same amount of cash).

Be warned, not all dealers are participating in The Great American Car Swap. As Myers said, “I’ve joined forces with like-minded dealers across the country to make this event happen. We’ve spent months planning and are proud to stand together to change America, one car and one family at a time.

We want to do our part to make America a better place to live.  I’ve read the reports that say Americans are not the happiest people on the planet. Forbes ranked us #10. I’m trying to change that – Americans have always had a love affair with the automobile; my goal is to help more people fall in love (and find happiness) during The Great American Car Swap.”

The Great American Credit Score

Many Americans have something in common – a credit score they aren’t too proud of. Generally this is due to circumstances beyond their control, bad timing or a string of unfortunate events. Most Americans don’t realize how important their credit score really is until they need to get a loan. That’s when they realize they need help and often don’t know where to turn.

Myers explained he works extra hard to help local people in tough situations like these and announced this big news, “This month, I’m introducing my Everybody Rides 4G Credit Approval Upgrade. I figured if the cell phone companies can do it, so can I!

My “Everybody Rides 4G Credit Approval Process”
