Auto News: Routine Maintenance Doesn't Have to be so Routine

August 14, 2007

Vehicle manufacturers recommend performing routine maintenance on cars, trucks, and SUVs to help keep them in working order. ACDelco is pleased to announce that having this routine maintenance performed doesn't have to be so ...well ... routine.

Through two upcoming opportunities from ACDelco, owners can have their vehicles serviced and save money at the same time. ACDelco is pleased to announce its "Back to School Routine Maintenance" and "Winter Routine Maintenance" promotions that offer rebates on ACDelco automotive replacement parts.

Participating Independent Service Centers (ISCs) are offering customers a $10 mail-in rebate with the purchase and installation of ACDelco parts when the repair invoice totals at least $70 in ACDelco products. ACDelco's "Back to School Routine Maintenance" promotion runs August 1 to September 30, 2007, followed by ACDelco's "Winter Routine Maintenance" promotion from November 1 through December 31, 2007.

"These are two peak preventive maintenance periods when motorists should have their vehicles inspected," said Kelly Grinnell, ACDelco Merchandising Specialist.

"ACDelco recognizes that many consumers tend to have maintenance performed before they go on a late summer vacation, before their teens take their vehicles off to school, or before the weather turns cold," Grinnell added. "Now, this routine service is a little less ordinary because ACDelco is offering a price break on replacement parts during these promotional periods."

In order to receive the $10 rebate, customers must mail in the original dated repair order and a completed official rebate redemption form, available at participating ISCs that feature quality ACDelco parts. The official rules are listed on the rebate redemption forms. The offer is good only at participating locations in the United States, and not valid at new vehicle dealers or on products being replaced under warranty.
