Film Spotlights American Dream

Posted on by

(This article first appeared in Used Car News and was written by Jeffrey Bellant)

National Quality Dealer Tracy Myers and his Frank Myers Auto Maxx dealership in North Carolina are the focus of an Emmy Award winning film team’s latest project.

“Car Men“, which had a black- tie premiere Nov. 17, tells the story of the dealership, which began as a general store 80 years ago.

A wider release is expected on Dec. 2, followed by a DVD release early next year, Myers said.

Myers is well versed in different types of media. In addition to writing the dealership’s blog, he has written newspaper articles and appeared on national television outlets, like Fox Business News and The History Channel, representing car dealers.

In late 2010, Myers appeared on motivational guru Brian Tracy’s syndicated television show.

He discussed the used- car business and the dealership’s history.

A producer from the show was so intrigued by the segment, he asked Myers if he would be interested in being part of a documentary about the business.

“ I didn’t think anything of it,” Myers said.

But the producer visited the lot, learned about how the dealership operates and convinced Myers take part in the documentary.

The production team came down a few months ago, interviewed family members and filmed for several days, Myers said.

Nick Nanton, the show’s producer, also helped make “Jacob’s Turn,” an Emmy Award-winning short film about a child with Down’s Syndrome playing on a teeball team.

Myers said once he’d heard that the production team won an Emmy, he figured they wouldn’t be interested in coming down to shoot the film about the dealership.

But they were still excited. “My wife and I are the only two people who have watched the finished project ( prior to the premiere),” Myers said. “ I know I’m partial, but I think it’s pretty amazing.

“ It’s an awesome legacy piece for my kids and grandkids. And for the industry, which I love. It shows the good side of what we do and the community side. It shows the heart and the hours that we put into it.”

Myers said he had an earlier offer from a different company to do a reality show, but it fell through.

The problem was how they wanted to portray the dealership and family.

“At every turn, they wanted to make us look like idiots,” Myers said.

He told them he wanted something positive, inspirational and motivational.

“ I have no problem with being funny and working our quirks into it, because we are quirky, ” Myers said. “ But you’re not going to make us look like a bunch of rednecks.”

Myers feels the documentary got it right.

“It’s a touching story about family, small business and the American dream.”

About “Car Men” – The Movie

He’s gone on TV dressed up as a giant pickle. Nowadays, you’ll see him most often sporting a giant red, white and blue Uncle Sam hat. Tracy Myers may play outrageous to sell cars – but this best-selling author, nationally-recognized entrepreneur, and devoted family man is dead serious when it comes to building a business he, his family and his city can be proud of.

“Car Men” details the touching and occasionally hilarious story of how the Myers men created a car business that’s known all across America for its successful out-of-the-box thinking – not to mention its off-kilter TV commercials, featuring such quirky characters as Uncle Frank and Chainsaw Charlie.

As one auto pro says, “In the car business, Tracy Myers is who everybody wants to be.” Watch “Car Men” and you’ll find out why.

Give To Get

Posted on by

Ho ho ho, the holidays are here! If you’re like me, you’re wondering, “How did this happen?” 2011 flew by faster than I thought possible.

Each year I’m amazed at how quickly the year goes by. One minute I’m hearing back to school ads on the radio and then before I know it, Santa greets me at the grocery store, ringing that little bell in my ear.

Ok enough with the shock . . . there’s really nothing to do at this point but to embrace it! Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanza, New Years – they’re approaching and it’s time to step up and make this a season one to remember for many years to come.

Now I’m getting to my point. What I know for sure (and now I sound like Oprah) is that the term “Give to Get” really is true. Whenever I give of my time and talents, I reap a harvest of contentment and joy. What I also know is that without planning on my part, the chance of actually doing something for someone else decreases with each holiday party and activity.

Now is the time to make a plan to give. I promise that by giving to others this season, we will all grab our own pocket of joy amidst the craziness of the season!

Why not start small by giving to one of the organizations I’ve listed below? After that, you may feel so good that you want to do more. Find a place to volunteer your time – at a school, a shelter, a hospital, etc. The opportunities for giving are endless and no effort is too small. Ok, time to start . . .

Check out these great places to GIVE TO GET this holiday season:

HomesForOurTroops.org (support our troops)
Operationsmile.org – (help those with a cleft palate)
Cradlestocrayons.org – (support homeless and low income children)
ASPCA.org – American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (support animals)
MOWAA.org – Meals on Wheels (support senior citizens)
Foodforthepeople.org – (support poor in the world)
www.worldvision.org -World Vision (support underprivileged everywhere)
www.sharedhope.org – Shared Hope International
(support victims of human trafficking)

Happy Thanksgiving, Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanza and Happy New Year to all of you! May this be the year we all GIVE TO GET!

Winston Salem Car Dealer Offers Escape Plan

Posted on by

The popularity of Halloween continues to rise year after year among adults looking for a good time and wanting to escape from reality for a night. But if you’re driving an old car that has become your worst nightmare, this Halloween sale might just be your chance to escape for good!

Here’s why.

Local car dealer, Tracy Myers, owner of Frank Myers Auto Maxx in Winston Salem, is at it again and is giving Triad residents who hate their old car a real treat… a way to escape and drive a nicer, newer car even if they owe more than it’s worth or even if it’s in frightful condition and needs to “rust in peace.”

In response to the success of Halloween as an adult escape holiday, Frank Myers Auto has put together their Old Car Escape Plan, which is going on only for the month of October.

They are planning on helping 132 local residents escape from their old car and drive home in a nicer, newer car, SUV, minivan or truck. Using the Old Car Escape Plan, Frank Myers Auto Maxx wants to completely pay off your current lease or loan on the car that’s getting under your skin so you can drive a nicer, newer car you’ll love.

If you’re driving an old monster, the Old Car Escape Plan can get you up to $4,000 more for your old car than it’s actually worth. This gives you the opportunity to make something out of almost nothing and will allow you to drive a car you’ll be proud to own.

Nightmares Just Don’t Happen 
While You’re Sleeping

“Many times people buy a car and they absolutely love it, then a few years later it becomes their worst nightmare. They just start to hate the thing. Maybe it’s not reliable anymore, maybe it doesn’t feel comfortable or they hate the way it drives or looks. Maybe it’s the payments. Something’s just not right about that old car and they can’t stand it anymore. They feel trapped in the car and they want out,” explained Myers.

A solution to this problem is not common but, as Myers told us, nether is he and what they do at Frank Myers Auto Maxx.

“I’ve read that a lot of people use Halloween as an escape from reality and that got me thinking. Part of what they are escaping from is everyday problems, like issues with their car. Halloween can help them escape for a night, but I can help them escape for good,” Myers exclaimed.

“My Old Car Escape Plan lets us pay off current loans or leases by giving up to $4,000.00 more than cars are currently worth. And believe it or not, used cars are worth more right now than ever before. So your car’s value may really surprise you. With slowdowns in vehicle production and natural disasters affecting the supply of cars from the manufacturers, the used car market is hot. It’s a great time to score a big deal and that’s a real treat.”

Don’t Be Cursed By Bad Credit

Myers says his Old Car Escape plan is perfect for people who have had credit challenges in the past and think they can’t get approved for a nicer, newer car.

“My Everybody Rides program is like waking up from a nightmare. You no longer have to run and hide from past credit problems,” Myers said. “We have ways of making the banks really understand your situation. We bring the person into the process. We tell your specific story. We don’t just quote credit scores and send pay stubs. With my process the lenders see you as a person where traditionally they just see a bunch of stats. That’s what makes my program so different and so much more effective.”

Some important facts you should know:

It’s completely free to have your personal situation evaluated by the experts at Frank Myers Auto Maxx and to take advantage of the Old Car Escape Plan…

Their transparent trade appraisal process guarantees you’ll get a “more than fair” offer to take over your current payments especially since the used car market is HOT RIGHT NOW…

There’s absolutely no obligation to buy a car…

There will never be any high-pressure tactics involved…

This offer is good until close of business on October 31…

Myers says, “There are no games here. I believe everyone deserves to drive a nicer, newer car and never be stuck in a car they hate. So come on in, and let me put my Old Car Escape Plan into action for you so you can drive a nicer newer car even if you’ve had credit problems.”

As a final treat, Frank Myers Auto Maxx‘s Old Car Escape Plan wants to pay off your existing lease or loan in full or give you up to $4,000 more than your old car is worth…even if it’s worth nothing…so you can drive home in a nicer, newer car you’ll love to own and look great driving.

To take advantage of this generous offer, visit Frank Myers Auto Maxx at 4200 North Patterson Avenue in Winston Salem, NC or call 336-767-3432 to schedule an appointment to create your customized Old Car Escape Plan.
