DANBURY, Conn. — Following up on the success of 2008, professional technicians and counterpeople who stand behind the Autolite brand can again look forward to being rewarded for their loyalty throughout 2009. 
      
To thank professional technicians and counter professionals who use Autolite products, the brand has enhanced its year-long promotional calendar to offer eight different programs and a range of prizes.

Back by popular demand, the Autolite team will be offering their Endless Rewards Premium Loyalty Program to counter people and professional technicians. New to the program this year, counter staff can earn double points on Autolite XP Xtreme Performance spark plugs during the month of May. In addition, Autolite is offering an array of new prizes with several choices of Autolite and NASCAR branded apparel. There is also a chance to save at the gas pump with an expanded Gas Card Sweepstakes. Running through the duration of both programs, the Gas Card Sweepstakes offers five grand prize $500 gas cards.

Professional technicians and counter staff are automatically entered to win simply by participating in any of these loyalty programs. No purchase is necessary. The sweepstakes for professional technicians ends Dec. 31, and the Counterperson sweepstakes ends Oct. 1.
      
This year, the Autolite brand also introduces the new Fender Cover Program, running May to September, which allows technicians to receive an Autolite branded Fender Cover for ordering a per order minimum of $250 worth of Autolite spark plugs, ignition wires and/or coil-on-plug boots.

Created for professional technicians, the Autolite Professional Technician Kit and Cabinet Programs will run from January through December. The Technician Kit Program rewards professional technician accounts that have a minimum Autolite spark plug purchase of $400 with an Autolite branded shop clock, bay banner, door decal, Autolite catalog, PLP brochure and two Autolite hats. The Cabinet Program rewards professional technicians who have a minimum purchase of $400 on any combination of Autolite XP Xtreme Performance, Autolite Double Platinum and/or Autolite Platinum spark plugs with an Autolite cabinet that can be used to display spark plugs and other shop products.
