To our local residents,
When I bought the shop in 2014, I had one goal – to give back to the Vail and Rita Ranch community. In particular, I wanted to give back to the Vail School District.
This community holds a special place in my heart. I’ve lived here for over a decade. My children have grown up here attending schools in the Vail School District. I’ve watched as the area has grown and am inspired by how it continues to flourish. As a local business owner, I feel it is my fortune to be able to give back to the organization that has given so much to my family. That’s why every month I’m donating 10% of all oil changes that take place in my store to one of the Vail School District schools.
There are no secret words to mutter when you come to the counter. You don’t have to sing a song, carry a flyer, or even remember to make mention of the fundraiser. Simply bring your car into our shop for a regular oil change, let our mechanics give your car some love with Valvoline oil and drive away happy knowing you played a part in giving back to the children in our neighborhoods. We’ll automatically donate 10% of all oil changes to the school of the month.
I look forward to seeing you in the shop and around town.
