Yes Sir, the dealership knows what the deal is. They are discounting their labor rate a little and including a full detail, wax & buffing, carpet shampoo, etc. I would have used a smaller local shop, but I couldn't get one to take me seriously or even answer the phone over a three day period. Their loss I suppose.
That being said, an update on the fund raising. So far, there has been $450 donated toward their Christmas and $350 donated toward the repairs on his Suburban. I would post the names of those making the donations, but have not received permission to do so. I WILL say that the total number of contributors is small in comparison to the amounts they are donating! Those making donations have truly dug deep and helped out in big ways! There haven't been any small amounts donated at all. That being said, please note that even $5-10 donations help in every way. All donations, no matter how large or small are truly appreciated and will go toward the stated purpose.
THAT being said, I have decided that doing something like this for a Veteran during the Holidays will now be an ongoing annual event by Freedom Motorsports. I am putting up a website that should be ready tomorrow sometime specifically for this purpose and will make sure that all other companies participating will be properly represented there as well. Anyone with questions or concerns can contact me anytime via the contact information in my signature.
Thanks again to everyone for their support, donations and/or for sharing this thread wherever they can! I can tell you that the difference we are making in the lives of Vince and his family will be felt for a long time to come!
