VIP Tires & Service, with locations in Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Vermont, announced that following the opening of its location in Seabrook, New Hampshire, in mid-October 2022, it donated the proceeds of its “Oil Changes for Education” program to School Administrative Unit 21 (SAU21).
The donation, totaling $3,850, will help support curriculum and school activity needs, SAU21 business administrator Matthew Ferreira says.
The “Oil Changes for Education” program ran at the Seabrook store, located at 441 Lafayette Road in Seabrook, for six weeks after the store’s opening, ending on November 12. Customers of this store were able to get $10 oil changes, with 100% of the proceeds being collected for SAU21, the company says. During the six-week period, 385 customers stopped at the Seabrook location for $10 oil changes.
Prior to opening the Seabrook location, the former Midas repair shop was renovated, adding six service bays and expanding the building for on-site tire storage, according to VIP Tires & Service. The store, managed by Dan Anctil, is now approximately 5,800 square feet, including the new addition. It has six employees with plans to grow to 10 employees in 2023.
