We want to sincerely thank our customers and all who voted us the silver award for best car and truck repair shop in Bedford. We're very honored and humbled.

We're a small business striving to do our best for the community. We're also proud to partner with Friends of Bedford County Animal Shelter, Inc. and committed to donating $5 per oil change to the shelter animals and getting the word out about the animals in need of homes. Please remember to spay and neuter your pets to reduce the overflowing population.

We appreciate you all! ❤️

We wanted to share this post so you'll have an opportunity to support our awesome animal shelter. The Friends of Bedford County Animal Shelter, Inc. are the people who pay for all the medical bills, injury treatments, spay and neuter, etc. for the shelter animals. They're the ones who hold the adoption events and work so hard to find the best homes for the animals. It costs a lot of money to feed and provide medical treatment for the animals. Some often come in with injuries, illnesses, various medical conditions, and not many are sterilized. The shelter doesn't adopt out unsterilized animals.

If you're looking for a good meal, entertainment, a 50/50 raffle, silent auction items, and a way to make a difference for homeless animals, November 6th is the time to do it!

Today we headed to the Bedford County Animal Shelter to make a $100 donation toward the Rockin Out 4 Paws fundraiser event. It's being held on November 6th from 5:30-9:00 P.M. at the New London Ruritan Club.

During the month of August we performed 50 oil changes, so thanks to our fabulous customers, we were able to donate $250 to the Friends of Bedford County Animal Shelter, Inc. We still have September and October to tally, but when we do, we'll be making another trip back to the shelter.

We wanted to share photos of just a few of the MANY shelter animals who desperately need a home. Remember, all approved applications are being sponsored by an anonymous donor through the end of the year. Whoever you are, thank you for your kindness and generosity! 👏

Please take a look at the pictures and see if anyone interests you. Every single one we met was sweet as can be.

As always, we want to remind you to spay and neuter ALL your pets. There are more animals than there are good homes. Sterilization is the ONLY humane way to combat overpopulation, and it starts with each and every one of us doing our part.

Please share this post in the hopes of these animals finding a deserving home.

We met Rodney at the shelter way back in May and sadly this sweet boy is still there.

Rodney is full of kisses, energy, and love. He needs someone who'll play with him, exercise him, and give him some security. Over 200 days in a shelter is miserable.

If you're looking for a fun dog who'll be a great companion, please check him out. He badly needs another chance. 🙁

The Bedford County Animal Shelter is overflowing with animals, even after its expansion.

Please read this post about Lo'ak. Almost 8 months in a shelter is far too long for this boy. He needs and deserves a loving home, room to run, and a warm soft bed.

If you have room in your heart and house for Lo'ak or ANY homeless animal, please visit the shelter. They're open Tuesday through Friday from 1:00 P.M until 6:00 P.M. and Saturdays from 10:00 A.M. until 2:00 P.M. They're located at 1307 Falling Creek Road in Bedford; just before the Sheriff's Department.

Remember, for every oil change we perform here at Jimmy's Automotive, we donate $5 to the shelter. Let's do all we can to support them and find these animals GOOD homes! 🐾

The more you know! 💡

In 1902 Mary Anderson conceived the idea of windshield wipers after watching a streetcar driver in New York City struggle to clear snow and sleet by opening the window.

On November 10, 1903 Mary was awarded a U.S. patent for her manual "window cleaning device" operated by an interior lever. Her patent expired in 1920 without being put into mass production. It wasn't a total "wipeout" though!

In 1922 Cadillac became the first automotive manufacturer to include windshield wipers as standard equipment on its vehicles. These were created using the basic principles of Mary's invention, although she received no money for it.

On rainy days, remember this lady. Without her foresight and ingenuity, driving could be difficult.
