As we are preparing for the celebration of our counties independence with July fourth approaching, we also celebrate the entrepreneurial freedom and spirit of our independent businesses. Independent Week is July 1st thru July 7th.

Shopping local means that you are supporting your local businesses and your community. Your local independent businesses employ your neighbors and friends, and help our communities grow.

We are grateful for the opportunities that we have. 

One of the things we take great pride in at DeBoer’s Auto is understanding the busy lives our customers have. Bringing in your vehicle for regular maintenance or to have something repaired is rarely convenient and can be time-consuming. Our goal is to be as efficient as possible in everything we do and provide the best care to your vehicle so you can have some of your time back. Here are the ways we do that.

Here's an opportunity to make the tough decisions about having your auto repairs done easy. The possibility of getting them done now is an option without having the stress of the financial burden. 

Now through October 31st, you can use your Napa EasyPay credit card with no interest if paid in full in 6 months and you will also receive a 10% rebate up to $100. This offer is good for existing as well as new customers. 

 LET'S WORK TOGETHER TO FIND A CURE FOR BREAST CANCER

Celebrating its 10-year anniversary in 2020, Brakes for Breasts has partnered with independent auto repair shops and will cross the $1 million in donations for the Cleveland Clinic Breast Cancer Vaccine Research Fund.

Any business owner knows how important referrals are. Every industry and trade has plenty of competition and it’s easier than ever for customers to look online to find a professional best suited for them. And when a customer comes into your shop or store, you have one chance to make a good impression. If you do, then you may earn several other customers as a result. We take referrals seriously and have also developed a program to help our customers who provide a service as well. 

During the summer months, we often take our vehicle’s A/C system for granted. It’s easy to push a button or turn a dial and feel the cool air blasting in your face. But when your A/C system fails, the warm air can create a very uncomfortable environment inside the vehicle. There are only a few components of an A/C system that could be problematic and cause it to fail, and we’ve explained them so that you can have a better understanding.

At DeBoer’s Auto, we enjoy educating the youth and anyone interested in our industry about being an automotive technician. We are proud to offer a formalized apprentice program where we will take in a student and educate them on our trade via online learning as well as plenty of hands-on experience. If you or anyone you know is interested in becoming an automotive technician, our apprentice program can be a great first step in a long and fulfilling career.

Have you ever noticed a musty smell when you turn your A/C system on in your vehicle? This is a common problem people experience in the spring and summer months and usually only means you should bring your vehicle in for an A/C cleaning service. A quick clean of the system can leave the interior of your vehicle smelling fresh and free of any contaminants so you know you’re breathing in fresh air.

S'mores Icebox Cake

When it comes to summertime and making memories S'mores are at the top of the  list of all things yummy.

The sticks, the fire, the threat of the marshmallow burning or worse, falling into the flames and suspending that delicious creation entering your mouth.

Becoming the master of S'mores is a honorable achievement. 

We're all fan's of the great outdoors and roughing it a bit, but in the case of crowds or the unfortunate reality that no, you don't have a fire burning at every occasion.

Here's a delicious alternative and is sure to please the crowd.
