Canton, Mich. (June 19, 2011) - The folks at Auto-lab of Canton South, an auto repair shop on Michigan Ave., want to make a difference in its community during trying economic times in Southeastern Michigan.
To do so, Auto-lab began Monday accepting nominations for a family who needs, but may not be able to afford, a safe, reliable vehicle.
People who know someone they feel deserves the opportunity to buy a 1999 GMC Jimmy for $1 are asked to nominate that person. The goal of the program is to help someone who is really helping others.
“The past years have brought a lot of heartache to many people in our area, and the employees of Auto-lab of Canton South are trying to make a positive change by giving a deserving person the opportunity to buy a refurbished vehicle for $1,” said Auto-lab's Joe Alli. “The ideal person is someone not thinking of themselves but instead who always looks out for others.”
With the help of O'Reilly Auto Parts of Canton, Value Plus Auto Parts of Garden City, Burhop's Collision of Belleville, Hart Auto Detailing of Canton and Mark Chevrolet of Wayne, Auto-lab of Canton South has reconditioned a 1999 GMC Jimmy to look like new. It is a four wheel drive vehicle with automatic transmission, leather interior, and is fully loaded with options.
