Let Honda Turn Your Errand Into an Experience With Road Readers

Posted on by


If you find yourself wishing your children spent less time in front of a screen, you’re not alone. A recent study by Honda found that 69% of parents are concerned with the same issue. That’s why Honda has introduced the Road Readers Program, where audiobooks for kids aged 5-16 years old are linked directly to the VIN of any Honda vehicle- including the Honda models at our used car dealership in Winston-Salem!

Hyundai Is At the Top of the List For Winston-Salem Used Car Shoppers

Posted on by

Hyundai Elantra

Record sales in 2015 have set the stage for another great year for Hyundai- all thanks to their dependably high-quality vehicles at a great price. At our used car dealer in Winston-Salem, we have dozens of pre-owned Hyundai models in stock for the buyer who’s looking for a stylish investment that will be with them for years to come.

Choose a Car That Lasts

Part of the appeal of the Hyundai brand is their versatility. Choose from the capable and maneuverable Santa Fe crossover SUV or the commute-suited Elantra. Perhaps an emphasis on performance is a priority for you. If that’s the case, the Genesis is a great fit! However, any model is suitable for drivers who appreciate comfort- a top priority that becomes evident as soon as you get behind the wheel.

Regardless of the model, you’ll be impressed with your Hyundai’s handling. This is a company that has its eye on design and innovation, and as a result, it has always kept ahead of the game when it comes to providing superior athleticism in their vehicles. Take tight corners with no issue. With our Winston-Salem used car dealer’s “Everybody Rides” program, everyone can finally experience a simple fact of the automotive world: that a Hyundai is the key to a joyful drive.

Thanks to the company’s forward-thinking priority on fuel economy that was truly ahead of its time, drivers of a used Hyundai Tucson can still enjoy impressive efficiency at dropped prices. Choose between a 4-cylinder or V6 engine to get a feel for this crossover’s potential.

Christmas lights

There’s a reason Christmas is referred to as “the most wonderful time of the year.” In a time when neighbors greet each other with good cheer, the neighborhood becomes aglow with Christmas lights. For some families, taking a driving tour of the town to see the best-decorated houses is a tradition! Why don’t you up the ante this year by driving the family to these beautiful light displays around North Carolina?

Light Up Your Christmas

  • Trail of Lights: This town, with its rich history rooted in Italian heritage, has a yearly Christmas light display of over 100,000 lights that illuminate traditional Christmas imagery and culturally significant symbols as well. Head to the town of Valdese between 6 PM – 9 PM by Christmas Eve in order to see the sights!
  • High Country Lights: What’s better than seeing an animated light show from the comfort of your vehicle? Park your car in the designated area near the Glade Creek Fire Department in Ennice by 6 PM, get the family settled into the car with snacks, tune the radio in to 96.5 FM, and watch the animated light show. Thousands of LED lights will provide hours of intrigue for the whole family!
  • Chetola’s Festival of Lights: When you visit Chetola Resort at Blowing Rock through the end of January, you can drive around Chetola Lake to take in the sights of the meticulously assembled display. HIghlights include a nativity scene, ice skaters, and Rudolph himself!
  • Christmas Town USA: In its 60th year of celebrating Christmas with a dazzling two-mile light display, the town of McAdenville transforms once a year into Christmas Town USA, nationally recognized for its beauty. A quick two-mile drive through McAdenville will afford you the opportunity to glimpse Santa, more than 200 wreaths, and almost 400 decorated trees!

The Christmas spirit is made of more than just lights and baubles, but they’re a good place to start! Head out this month to check out these dazzling displays with your loved ones.

Packing Smart: A Guide For Road Trip Car Packing

Frank Myers Auto Maxx Road Trip Tips

Packing your car for a road trip is a lot like playing a game of Tetris- you want to fill all the available space without going overboard and having the whole thing collapse on you. Though unlike Tetris, we here at Frank Myers Auto Maxx have some tips and tricks for you to get through the normally-painstaking activity of getting everything placed right in your vehicle the first time. Ready?

Up Front

You’ve got a driver and a passenger occupying both seats up front, so let’s immediately rule those two spaces out for placement of anything. However, the floor of the passenger’s side is still fair game! Right up against the center console is the perfect place for a bag of snacks, purses and things like tablets like watch movies on. Then you’ve got the center console as well, where you can pack up your chargers, tissues, a small first aid kit and things like that. Right behind the center console between either the passenger’s side seat or the driver’s seat you can even put a small garbage bag to keep all your waste centralized.

In The Back

The backseat area is probably where you’re going to keep most of your stuff for the trip. You’ve got the pockets on the back of both the front seats where you can store magazines, CDs, movies and portable movie players, as well as the floor area for pretty much anything anyone might need during the trip. This can include snack bags again, a cooler for drinks and any toy or activity for the kids, pending they’ve come along for the trip! The backseat area is also ideal for bigger food items, as opposed to the passenger side floor, which might be used for smaller snacks.

Don’t Forget The Trunk

Here’s where you’re packing all the luggage and bigger items that you’re either not going to really need during your trip or things that are just too big to fit anywhere else in your vehicle. If you’re putting something back there that you’ll need during your trip, try to pack it on top of everything else so it’s easily accessible by someone in the back seats depending on the layout of your used vehicle. On the topic of luggage, pack a smaller overnight bag as well if you’re staying at a hotel for a night. This way you’re not unpacking the whole vehicle just to stay overnight somewhere!

If your problem isn’t so much that you’re having trouble packing your vehicle as it is that you’re looking for a great used vehicle, then don’t hesitate to contact us!

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.”
