Aftermarket Auto Parts Alliance Final Perfect Stop Giveaway Winner

Auto Value and Bumper to Bumper have announced Mike Perry, owner of Grime’s Tire and Auto – an Auto Value Certified Service Center in Grimes, Iowa – as the fourth winner in the Perfect Stop Powersports 2016 Giveaway. Grime’s Tire and Auto is a customer of Arnold Motor Supply, a member of the Aftermarket Auto Parts Alliance.

The Perfect Stop Powersports Giveaway was open to technicians who completed a high-quality brake job using Perfect Stop products during the months of June and July. To accommodate a national sweepstakes with varying customer preferences, winners can chose the power sports vehicle of their liking. Perry selected a 2016 Lund fishing boat as his prize.

Perry, an avid fisherman, was on a fishing trip when contacted about his win. “I couldn’t believe it. I didn’t tell my wife for three days because I thought the salesman was pulling my leg.” He plans to use his new boat often. “These guys take good care of me,” he said of the Auto Value team.

This announcement marks the fourth and final recipient in the 2016 giveaway. Grime’s Tire and Auto was one of more than 75,000 entrants split between MyPlaceforParts users and Perfect Stop tear-off cards.

Federated Auto Parts Distributors announced it is entering into a collaboration with the Association of Independent Oil Distributors (AIOD) – one it said will focus on mutual benefits for the respective members.

“Federated is constantly looking at ways to improve value for all constituents and this agreement provides that,” said Sue Godschalk, president of Federated. “This collaboration provides added volume and opportunities for our suppliers, new partners for our members, and added supply points and products for shop customers. We have enjoyed working closely with several AIOD members in the past and this agreement will expand and create further opportunities for both Federated and AIOD.”
