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.)

Another year is wrapping up and what a year it has been. Lots of people felt the effects of the rough economy and I suppose we all felt a little battered by events.
That’s why I want to offer my wish to you, that this season finds you with family or friends—someplace you can relax and take a deep breath. A new decade is around the corner. Let’s all wish for the best, for everyone.

Happy holidays, my friends. See you next decade.

It’s the time of year to head over the Indian River and through the Woods at Crooked Mile—to Grandmother’s house you go. You say grandma doesn’t live on Merritt Island? Well, think of it as a metaphor. You gotta go to grandma’s for Thanksgiving and Gatto’s wants to help you get there.

The ROAD TRIP SPECIAL is tailor-made for getting to grandma’s because it’s designed to get your ride into the kind of shape it takes to get over any river (please use the bridge or causeway) or through any woods (within reason). Don’t get stranded on the highway with a pumpkin pie cooling in your lap.

Make sure you’re ready to hit the road with a ROAD TRIP SPECIAL for only $19.95.

Here’s a special coupon to help you save. We don’t usually put coupons in my “On the Road” messages, but think of this one as a Thanksgiving Day (and part of December) present. How traditional!

I can almost smell the turkey. You say you’re a vegetarian? I can almost smell the metaphor.
Have a safe and happy Thanksgiving and be careful on the roads. Turkey or tofu, enjoy!

As you may know by now, Gatto’s is offering a great deal right now on Michelin tires.  Click here for details.

But you may be interested in some good reasons to buy these great tires at Gatto’s.  I’m glad you asked (we’ll just pretend that you did).

Tires are the only parts of your car that touch the ground

The same passion for excellence that goes into tires Michelin makes for championship winning race cars goes into the tires they make for your car. Michelin® tires give you confidence to enjoy the road, while helping to keep you safe behind the wheel.

Visit the Michelin website for more info on tire care, check out their buying guides and take a refresher course on how to change a tire (just one of the interactive guides on this page: http://www.michelinman.com/tire-care/tire-basics/).

And you’ll fall for the deal that’s coming in October.

October is almost here.  You know what that means.  It’s time to plan this year’s Halloween costume, maybe drive up north to watch the leaves change colors, and of course get ready for the super deal that Gatto’s and MICHELIN® are putting together.

I can’t tell you the specifics yet (something about the National Secrets Act, or some such thing), but if your passenger vehicle or light truck could benefit from a new set of the longest-lasting and most fuel efficient tires in this category*, then mark October 1 with a big red box and get ready to save on MICHELIN® tires at Gatto’s.
