Beginning today, customers can submit their best car care story through
February 15, 2015 online at www.engagewithcarpros.com/pro
to show their appreciation for the outstanding service their automotive
professionals provided. Readers will have the opportunity to vote for
their favorite story from March 9 to 30, with the automotive
professional who receives the most votes announced in the spring.
The automotive care location featured in the winning story will receive
$100,000* and the customer who submits the winning story will also win
$2,500*. Additional prizes for automotive professionals and first-place
customer stories will also be awarded.
“The contest is designed to allow consumers to recognize outstanding
service,” said Steven Roe, vice president and general manager of Sales
for Synchrony Financial. “Hard-working professionals who keep our cars
and trucks safe and on the road longer deserve recognition for a job
well done.”
Automotive care shop owners interested in the contest can visit www.engagewithcarpros.com/pro
to learn more and request a free contest kit, which includes signs
promoting consumer participation. They can also learn more about how the
CarCareONE credit card, fulfilling automotive financing needs for more
than 30 years, can help build loyalty and trust with customers.
Financing plays an important role for automotive repair and aftermarket
purchases, according to the third annual Major Purchase Consumer Study**
commissioned by Synchrony Financial. Of those surveyed, more than 80
percent of automotive care shoppers begin their research online,
reviewing product and services, as well as promotions and payment
options, and spend 38 days on average before making a major purchase.
Further, the findings show 76 percent of cardholders always seek
promotional financing options when making an automotive service purchase
and nearly half would choose not to make a purchase or go elsewhere if
retail financing were not available.
*Awarded in the form of a check.
**Synchrony Financial’s Third-annual 2014 Major Purchase Consumer
Study reflects the average experience of consumers making purchases
valued at $500+ in one of 12 categories, including automotive care.
