In 1999 Jim & Cindy Gross decided to open a shop in Holmen with the thought that they could
bring the simple value of "Honesty" to an industry that truly lacked it. Their goal was to bring good quality
work, fast, at an affordable price. Auto Care Mall has been a maintenance based shop since the day they started. If you
simply maintain a vehicle to a manufacturers specs, your vehicles operational cost is about half of those who
don't. As the price of parts and labor increase so does the savings of following maintenance schedules.
Don't be fooled into thinking there is no cost involved in maintenance but general studies have shown it
comes to ten cents per mile versus 20 cents for those who wait for their cars to break. It is funny how many
customers spend $1000-$1,800 for an extended warranty that literally covers nothing that ever breaks
when that same money could be used to insure they have a safe, reliable ride. Last year, 80 billion dollars
were shelled out for extended warrantees and only $4 billion in paid claims.(Drug dealers don't make those
kind of margins.) Although sometimes we feel like the Maytag man because rarely does anything we perform
routine maintained schedules on break down. Our niche in the market is being the only Maintenance Shop in the
area. When your "car goes to he--" its to late. |
