Textar and WORLDPAC recently partnered to offer independent repair service professionals the chance to win the “Ultimate Power Shop,” featuring tools and shop equipment worth more than $50,000. The Textar Ultimate Power Shop promotion ran from September to December 2015.

Textar and WORLDPAC presented the winner, Sami Todd of German Auto Group based in Springfield, Virginia, with the Textar Ultimate Power Shop grand prize during a special winner’s ceremony that took place during the Supplier & Training EXPO on April 23. Todd received his ceremonial check in front of an audience of his peers, WORLDPAC management and many suppliers and manufacturers attending the event.

“This is a great gift that could not have been achieved without working together with the WORLDPAC team,” said Todd.

“I am very pleased to congratulate all the winners of the Textar Ultimate Power Shop promotion. Thank you for being a trusted partner in safe braking performance. We understand many import vehicle owners rely on the experience and expertise of the independent professional servicing their vehicle. When you choose Textar, rest assured you are installing the highest quality braking technology available. We appreciate your confidence in Textar’s quality and performance, as does your customer. Enjoy your prizes,” said Lawrence Bleasdale, Textar sales director.

Michael Dunkel, Textar director of category management and business development, added, “We are thrilled Sami won the Textar Ultimate Power Shop $50,000 grand prize and congratulate all the other winners who participated in the promotion. We look forward to introducing more Textar brake products this year, as well as WORLDPAC announcing more exciting Textar promotions including a motorsports-themed event next month. Again, thanks to all participants and winners!”
