Join Gamblin Motors in supporting Breast Cancer Awareness Month this October. To honor survivors and help bring community awareness of the disease, Gamblin Motors hosts an annual Ladies Day.
This is a time of celebrating women and supporting the cause of fighting breast cancer. Highlights of the event include a breakfast with inspiring testimony from a breast cancer survivor and helpful information on early detection and other steps to reduce the chances of this disease.
Local vendors have teamed up with Gamblin Motors to show their support of breast cancer awareness and provide our guests with a chance to shop for the latest products for women. Gamblin Motors technicians will also provide quick tips on vehicle maintenance. Of course the day would not be complete without fun giveaways. This is a wonderful opportunity to learn, celebrate, shop, and enjoy some delicious treats. Please join our email list or like us on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram for more information on this great event.
Art Gamblin Motors hosted its first Ladies night on Thursday July 7, 2011. Chevrolet had a special promotion going on that inspired this event: test drive a Chevrolet and get a free $40 Spa Gift Certificate through Spa-Finder.com. As women arrived for the event, we had a valet set up so they had an opportunity to test drive a new Chevrolet to recieve a $40 Spa Finder Certificate.
Once inside, guests were treated to a catered dinner by Mazatlan Restaurant. Along with dinner, we had over 20 local vendors set up around our body shop and service area. We had a wide range of booths that included everything from a pampered chef, purses, custom clothing, jewelry, custom greeting cards and makeup.
Once everyone settled in, Tyson Gamblin Internet Coordinator and Mike Johnson Service Manager went over the nights agenda. The women broke up into four groups in order to learn something new about Auto Car and Art Gamblin Motors. There were 4 stations :
Station #2 was directed by Mike Johnson, the Service Manager at Art Gamblin Motors Service Department. Mike went over all the different parts that can go in your car and why factory parts are the best option. To illustrate this, Mike took apart three air filters and fuel filters that ranged in price from good, better and best. Mike showcased that sometimes saving a couple of dollars on a non manufactured part might cost you in the long run.
Station #3 was taught by Travis Weingard, an Auto Technician at Art Gamblin Motors Service Department. Travis went over the proper and safest way to change a tire. This illustration included locating a spare tire, jack, tools, and the basic steps of actually changing a tire. A major point of emphases was making sure that the vehicle is secure before you take off a tire.
Station #4 was led byAimee Locke, a Service Advisor at Art Gamblin Motors. Aimee created a post card of over 30 different symbols that can appear on your dash while driving or starting your vehicle. Aimee went over which lights – although frightening looking – are not that bad, and which lights require immediate attention.
Overall it was a great night and we had a great turn out. We had over 75 women from around the area come out to our first ladies night. We are already in the process of planning our next one for the early part of 2011.
