Help us help others- with no extra cost to you.
We'd like to share something with you...
We generally don't want to advertise what we do to help people unless doing
so could help us do more. Recently an idea hit me that might allow us to do more
without asking for donations, just a little support through a method that could
make our income more predictable and actually would help you budget as well,
without spending more overall. So I guess I'll tell you what we've been up to,
even though we are a small family shop, CarScope gives away approximately
$10,000 a year in free or discounted repairs to those who are in need.
In addition we created the Love Your Neighbor Christian Network that links
hearts and hands with the goal that no one is left needy, left out or left
behind. We are committed to working in the network and sponsoring its
administration and maintenance as it grows. We believe it may be a tool
that could make a huge impact on possibly millions of lives. You can check it
out at www.LYNCN.org
Your support is given by partially pre-paying on your repair expense in small
amounts each month. Though similar, this is NOT repair insurance, we're not
making extra profit from it. All the money you deposit is spent on YOUR
car. There is no risk, no waste of your money and no contract.
The membership costs you no more than you are already spending but it levels
out your repair expenses to help your budget.
AND even though you are not spending any more on your repairs than you would
have, it makes you a partner in our community efforts because your regular
support helps give CarScope a more predictable income that enables us to do even
more to help our neighbors.
FREE LABOR and get the parts at cost!
By depositing into your "labor credit" savings account at CarScope, when you
have a service need you get the labor free, up to the amount you have paid in.
All you have to pay for is parts, and as always, you get those at our cost- no
mark up!
No more big surprise repair bills
This nearly eliminates the big surprises and evens out your car repair
spending so you can budget more easily. It is not likely, but IF you get more in
your account than what you would need for major repairs, we can stop or reduce
the monthly deposits and use up what is there. So you are at no risk of spending
more than you already are spending!
We also have a price match guarantee, so you don't have to be afraid of
spending more with us than you would elsewhere.
What is the real cost to you?
Seldom do you get to make a significant impact in peoples’ lives without it
costing you significantly. The only real financial cost to your membership is
whatever tiny interest might have accrued if you kept your repair budget in an
accessible savings account (and that type of account is normally a very low
interest rate). Besides that, most people average $50 a month or more in repairs
and maintenance so you won’t be accumulating labor credit too fast, if at all.
So there would be little or no interest lost.
If you don’t currently budget and save for repairs you’ll probably end up
saving money with this membership because you may not have to use a credit card
for the repairs when they pop up!
Risk and Commitment
If you miss a payment now and then it is no big deal, it just means you will
have a little less credit in your account when you need it.
If you decide to stop, that is fine, your credit will remain with us until
you use it up.
The bottom line
We appreciate you considering doing this. People tell us that doing honest
car repairs is a blessing in itself, but nonetheless, we have always tried to
make a bigger impact on our community and honestly it has cost us significantly
over the years. Only recently has this idea surfaced to get your support for
what we are doing and to get it in a way that helps your budget instead of hurts
it. Please call us today to set up your membership.
