We wrapped up a great event with the Lincoln North team out at Lincoln high on Tuesday. You probably know the drill by now: $20 per test drive donated to the school we’re partnering with. In this case we were helping to raise money for the athletic department.
We ended up raising $2100 for the school! Thanks to all those that volunteered their time to staff the event.
Our most recent Car Car Clinic in Lincoln was a little unique. We were made aware of a need in our community among Veterans for the same type of vehicle maintenance service that we have served single moms with in the past.
These men and women have faithfully laid their lives on the line in service to our country, and it was a no-brainer for us to get on board with serving them through our Clinic. The event was a huge success! So much so that the Vets came back for a visit to thank our teams for their work.
Way to go Team!

St. Joe just concluded their latest Car Care Clinic in service of Veterans, single parents & people in need in our community. These events are an awesome way for us to directly impact an urgent need for people in St. Joseph. The BPM team worked with The 139th Airlift Wing, Catholic Charities, Pregnancy Resource Center & Habitat for Humanity to identify people in need. Our Quicklane techs, Service techs as well as people from Parts, Detail and the BPM team gave of their own time to spend an evening fixing vehicles for people that need it the most, for no charge. While the techs are hard at work, we also hosted dinner for the moms.
Kassie Collins, one of the widows we helped in the clinic, lost her husband in 2003 while he was serving in Iraq. She has recently joined the Americorps Vista program and is now serving veterans as a Prevention Coordinator with CADCA/Vetcorps. Her daughter, Landry Collins, did and outstanding job helping us paint faces of the children there. The event was very appreciated and some were move to tears commenting,
“I can’t believe you’d do this sort of thing for someone like me.”
These events aren’t possible without the volunteered time of our dedicated St. Joseph team. Way to go and thank you for making such a big difference for People Who Matter there in St. Joseph! Check out the photos from the event below.
In Lincoln we just wrapped up our latest Car Care Clinic. This has been an awesome way to serve people in our community over the last year plus. In the past, we’ve partnered with organizations like City Impact and the Lincoln Crisis Pregnancy Center; each time performing vehicle maintenance for people that otherwise could not afford it.
There’s a lot of cool things about this. Transportation is a core need for people, and we’re uniquely positioned as an auto dealership to help meet this need in a very direct way. Seeing this happen for the people in our community that need it most has been tremendous. It has also been an amazing thing to watch our Service and Quicklane teams band together and step up to the task of serving. These guys and gals are volunteering of their own time (after putting in a full day’s work), and without them it wouldn’t be possible. A huge thanks to them all for making it happen!
Along these lines, there are two unique things about this most recent clinic.
Check out the photos below from the event. We look forward to hosting more of these in the future in all markets.
