✨ Giving Tuesday Impact Update ✨
This November, we committed to donating $10 for every oil change performed — and thanks to our amazing customers, we’re proud to share that together we raised $740! ❤️🛠️

Today, on , we’re honored to donate these funds to the Food Bank of Central & Eastern NC, an organization working tirelessly to fight hunger in our community.

Every 1 dollar helps provide 5 meals.. which comes to about 3,700 meals 🙂!

Thank you to everyone who supported us last month — your routine service helped make a real difference for families in need. 🧡
Here’s to continuing to serve our community, both on and off the road.
