Frank Myers Auto Maxx Makes Odd Discovery In Trunk Of Traded-In Auto

Posted on by

Winston-Salem, NC residents are completely stunned and puzzled by the discovery of a “strange thing” in the trunk of a traded-in vehicle at Frank Myers Auto Maxx.

“We just took this car in on trade. Then while cleaning it up, we popped open up the trunk and there it was,” explains Tracy Myers, owner of Frank Myers Auto Maxx.

“I just stopped short and my jaw fell open. I’ve never seen anything like it before. Frankly it’s kind of creepy. It’s like a car accident… you can’t take your eyes off the thing,” says Myers.

Used Car Dealer In Winston-Salem Asks For Help

Some are calling it a hoax, but others believe with conviction that it’s authentic. One thing is certain…neither group is exactly sure what this thing really is.

Some visitors think it’s an evil mermaid. To others it’s an alien, a goblin or an elephant made out of earwax, or, as one customer described it, “my dad at 6am”. What ever it is, it’s definitely not something easily recognizable.

Myers is asking local residents if they know what this thing is. He has placed a “guess book” next to the creature where visitors can make their best guess as to what it may be.

What Is The “Trunk Monster?”

An intriguing letter found with the strange thing, which is currently being referred to as “The Trunk Monster” by the employees of Frank Myers Auto Maxx, explains how this “monster” may have been preserved. This letter is also on display at the dealership.

People from all walks of life are arriving in droves at Frank Myers Auto Maxx to grasp a gander. Believers in extra-terrestrial life are certain it is a visitor from another universe. Academics are ambivalent or think it is a hoax, but are still baffled and repulsed by the “strange thing.”

What is known for a fact is that the “curiosity” is old, dead and ugly.

“It reminds me of many of the cars I see around town,” says Myers.

The boxed curiosity that has been perplexing so many visitors at Frank Myers Auto Maxx will be on public display through October 30th at 5pm.

The public & press are welcome.

Winston-Salem Used Car Shoppers Review Frank Myers Auto Maxx

“I bought a 2008 Honda Accord from Frank Myers Auto Maxx a little over a year ago. I was only 21 years old and had no credit to speak of. I told my salesperson Zack that up front. He was polite and spoke with me not down to me. I was very surprised because a lot of other dealers had laughed at me when I told them I was only 21. Zack did not. He worked diligently to get my car loan approved. Not only did he get it approved, he was able to help me get the exact car I wanted. Since I bought the Honda a year ago, I have been back several times to get my oil changed and their service department is just as impressive as the sales department. Very efficient and well priced. They also explained things to me and didn’t talk over my head. Another good thing is that I Frank Myers Auto Maxx cared enough about me to stay in touch with me over the past year. I’ve received countless emails, phone calls and letters. Everyone in the Triad area of NC should shop at Frank Myers Auto Maxx when looking for a car.” – Rebecca Jefferson

““I got my Mazda 3 from Frank Myers Auto maxx and have been very happy with my decision to buy a car there. They went out of their way to make it easy for me to make a decision that would work for my budget. I had originally looked at the same car with alloy wheels, leather interior and a sunroof but it was going to be more money that I needed to pay. Brandon and Keith helped me to realize that the base model Mazda was going to save my almost $45 a month in car payments! That turned out to be one of the better decisions I have made this year. Brandon is a good salesman. He listened to me and never talked down to me. Keith was one of his managers and went over all the numbers with me. He did it slowly so I could understand and didn’t get frustrated when I asked him to repeat the numbers a second and third time. The owner Tracy came around and shook my hand twice. You could tell he wanted to make sure I was being treated properly and with respect. This is a good car dealer and i recommend them to anyone I know.” – Florence Shallote

How To Increase The Value Of Your Trade…Even In A Down Market!

Posted on by
Winston Salem used car dealer offers more for trades

A few easy steps will get you more money for your trade-in.

You want to buy a new car but you’ve still got the old one you’ve got to get rid of.

Many people need to get some cash out of their old car in order to get into a new one. So getting the most for your trade is often a major consideration.

Here’s a few tips on how you can get more money for your old car.

Clean It Up. Give you car a good wash – don’t just run it down to the gas station car wash. Scrub the car, especially around the bottom of the car where dirt and road debris can really make a mess.

You may also considering getting a professional detail job. While the price can seem a little high, the deep clean they provide will go far beyond what you can do yourself.

Wax It. Most people are surprised at what a good coat of wax can do to a car’s finish. It can take weather beaten paint and give it new life and a nice shine.

The way your car looks reflects how well you’ve cared for it over the years. Careful cleaning is the single most important step you can take to ensuring a fair trade-in valuation.

Make It Smell Good. Use some Fabreeze or car deodorizing spray. If you are a smoker this is very important. You don’t want your car to smell like an ash tray at trade in time.

Get An Oil Change. Old oil shows that maintenance has not been a priority.

Wipe Down The Engine Compartment. It’s probably pretty messy in there. Give it a wipe down with a damp cloth and pay particular attention to any areas that are especially grimy. Clean the top of the battery and the terminals too.

If the battery terminals are corroded you can use a mixture of baking soda and water to clean them. Let the solution sit on the crud and they rinse with water.

Decide Whether To Buy Tires. Some dealers prefer matching tires because that’s how they sell vehicles on their lots. If the tires are new, however, you may not want to bother.

Fix The Windshield. If you have any dings or cracks get these repaired. Many times windshield repairs can be covered by insurance if the problems are bad enough.

Once a crack starts to spread, the whole windshield has to be replaced, and a dealer will deduct the repair cost from the trade-in.

Bonus Tips: Consider fixing obvious mechanical and body problems, especially big dents and scratches (door dings are OK). But forget about pricey repairs, or you may spend more than you’ll get back.

And maybe (most importantly), be realistic. Most owners are too optimistic about what their cars will fetch in an honest trade-in. To come up with an honest trade-in price, dealers consider what they would pay for a car like yours at a wholesale auction and then subtract what it would cost to repair and clean your car.

Dealers don’t go by price guides, such as the “blue book,” as rigidly as you may think. This is guaged more by what dealers see happening at the auction. Generally, a car dealer will attend the auction at least twice a week.

But to get a very rough idea of what to expect for your trade-in, consider some point between the book trade-in and loan values as a starting point (remember to subtract the cost of all necessary repairs and detailing).

Forget about asking for or getting the retail price for your trade. Dealers rarely get that much when they sell the car to the next buyer.

Unlikely Educator Spurs Economic Growth With Alphabet

Posted on by

Frank Myers Auto has made used car buying easy as ABC

Used car buying easy as ABC in Winston Salem, NC

WINSTON SALEM – At it once again is the uncommon car dealer, Tracy Myers from Frank Myers Auto Maxx, just in time for the new school year to begin. Myers says his new approach to owning a nicer, newer car will simplify your life and help the local economy.

“Let’s face it…everybody wants a nicer, newer car. And buying a car is great for the economy! A better car can help you get to work, get your kids to school on time and in style, plus it helps me keep a lot of good people employed here at my business…not to mention the countless other folks who work to design, build, transport, maintain, fuel and insure the vehicles,” explained Myers.

Myers says that buying a car doesn’t need to be complicated or stressful. He believes that there’s a lesson to be learned from grade school. “My kids are getting ready to head back to school, and that got me thinking about learning the ABCs and 123s – and how, back in school, life was simple and fun. I think buying a car should be simple and fun too…so I created the ABCs of Car Buying.”

This “back to school” themed sale makes this month an excellent time to upgrade to a newer car, truck van or SUV.  Here’s how it works:

A: We’ll pay $1000 more than fair market value for any trade, whether it’s paid for or not.

B: Bring in just $500.00 for a down payment, and you can drive away the same day

C: Credit is not an issue. We work with the most helpful lenders in the country and understand that bad things happen to good people. Our goal this month is 100% approval.

“We always have fun here at Frank Myers Auto Maxx but this month is going to be something to remember. We’re helping the schools, helping the kids, helping the economy and helping you too. It’s never been easier to get a nicer, newer car!”

The generous trade-in allowance was inspired by the popular Cash For Clunkers program initiated by President Obama, which proves even car dealers can learn a thing or two.

“People are still talking about Cash For Clunkers…which happened one year ago this month. I pay attention to what my customers want. They’ve been asking for Cash For Clunkers to come back, and I’m giving it to them. I thought back to school time was the perfect time to show off what I’ve learned!” explained Myers.

Why Is August A Good Month To Buy?

Many people don’t realize that the new car manufacturers start releasing next year’s models this time of year. That means that every car at the dealership essentially turns one year older this month than it was last month. That extra month drives prices down making August one of the best times of year to buy.

Banged Up Credit From The School of Hard Knocks?

“At Frank Myers Auto Maxx, we realize that things have been pretty tough the past few years. We’re really good at helping you overcome the bruises on your credit report that you’ve earned from living in the real world. We believe in helping people make a fresh start. Come in and give us a chance to help,” says Myers.

ABCs Make Buying A Car Fast, Fun and Easy

What will you do with the extra money you receive for your trade-in? You could use it to lower your monthly payments. You could use it to be able to afford “more car” for your money. You could use it to pay off other bills. You could even use it buy all new clothes for your kids before school starts. It’s entirely up to you.

Come in to Frank Myers Auto Maxx located at 4200 N. Patterson Avenue in Winston-Salem, NC or pre-register for the sales event at https://www.FrankMyersAuto.com and buy a nicer, newer vehicle before August 30 and take advantage of $1,000 more for your trade, $500 down payments, and more lenient credit requirements.
