Since it’s St. Patrick’s Day, we thought we would do a one-day offer to celebrate:
It’s a perfect day to paint your car green!
All green cars get $5 Off an oil change. Also any car being driven by a leprechaun, or any vehicle being driven by a person of Irish descent, or by any person who has heard of Ireland. Basically, anyone who needs an oil change can get $5 off on St. Patty’s Day. Saving a little green is good any day. You just got lucky.
Bring in a copy of this email and get your five bucks off any oil change, today only at Gatto’s!

Yeah, we’re rugged individualists and most of the time we get along just fine, thank you. But sometimes we run into circumstances where we appreciate a little help.
You swim out into the ocean and get swept up in a rip current. It’s not your fault, and it’s nice to know the life guard has an eye on you and will get to you before you sink. You are building a barn on your patch of good bottom land and the neighbors show up to help raise the walls. Well, we hear that still occurs up in Amish country.
It doesn’t happen as much anymore, but if you ever run into a situation where your battery is suddenly dead, or you are in the position to help someone who has a dead battery, then a trusty set of jumper cables are just the ticket. Now, if there was only a way to get a set of these handy devices for free…
Guess what?
Right now and for a limited time when you buy a set of new Michelin Tires you will get a set of jumper cables for FREE.
That way you not only get high quality tires that deliver miles and miles of driving pleasure, you also get a way to help a friend — or a daughter — or a complete stranger with a jumpstart using your FREE jumper cables from Gatto’s. That’s mighty neighborly of you.

You’ve been busy with the usual stuff. Chopping down cherry trees, tossing coins across the Potomac, crossing the Delaware to catch the Hessians off guard.
But no doubt you’ve also taken the time to get your oil changed at Gatto’s. We cannot tell a lie, that’s smart. Because a well-maintained ride will keep you going longer. And if you’ve already made that smart move three times, then guess what?
It’s time to cash in.
Remember?
Your 4th Pennzoil Oil Change (of equal value) is FREE at Gatto’s.
So some of you are due to save a few Lincolns, a couple of Washingtons and a bunch of little Lincolns (depending on the value of your FREE deal).
Happy Presidents Day and “oil” to the chief.

It’s a new decade! Remember when we were all worried about the “Y2K Bug” back in the good old days of 1999? It just shows you that it’s tough to know what you should really be worried about. But it’s easy to know what we should be grateful about. We’re grateful (REALLY) that our customers continue to trust us to give them the best service and products available.
You may be worried that your vehicle is coming up on some milestones—either something simple like an oil change, or something major like the odometer clicking over 100,000 miles—and that, because of the economy, you have been waiting a little longer than you used to for service. We understand. But don’t ignore that little voice in the back of your mind that may be saying, “We’ve been lucky so far, but an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” Or perhaps your little voice doesn’t speak in clichés, but I’ll bet it still gives good advice.
So now that milestones are at the top of your mind, I’ll remind you about our service, MilestoneMaintenance. We can run a report on your vehicle that tells you the manufacturer’s recommendations for any point in the life of your ride. Then our ASE Certified mechanics will explain what steps you should take, if any, and let you know what you need to do to keep your vehicle running smooth and hitting milestones for years to come.
So just remember, if you listen to Gatto’s and your little voice, you’ll have a lot less to worry about as you go through the year. (Just be careful if that voice starts mentioning
anything … not strictly legal … Then you’ll have some BIG things to worry about.)

New Year’s Resolutions
This year:
- Make sure your tires stay fully inflated for a safe ride and better tread wear
- Resolve to change your oil every 3 months or 3,000 miles
- Follow your carmaker’s recommended service intervals
- Never ignore a “service engine” light
- Become a “zen master” driver, with smooth accelerations, and no hard stops. You’ll get better gas mileage and put less strain on your engine and brakes. You may even lower your blood pressure.
- Always check to see if your auto repair facility has been voted the “Top Shop” in North America* before entrusting your ride to their care.
*Oddly enough, Gatto’s has won this distinction!
Right now for a limited time, when you buy 4 Michelin tires Gatto’s will treat your vehicle to one FREE regular oil change and FREE Road Hazard Coverage for as long as you own your Michelin Tires.
Happy New Tires!
