This year's grand prize winner of the Professionals’ Choice
Scratch & Win
$10,000 Promotion is Hamid Esmailion, owner of Hank The Mechanic
in St. John, New Brunswick, Canada.
Hamid received the entry scratch ticket from APM Limited, who is
a Bestbuy Distributors, Ltd. member, who in
turn is a member of Automotive Parts Associates.
Hank the Mechanic, originally Auto Esmailion, has been quite a
success story, starting out renting one bay from
a lube center to now an independent 7-bay shop with a lovely new
office.
“Sometimes you have to encourage the customers to complete the
ballots and turn them in, because if you don’t
enter, you can’t win!” encouraged Troy Kingston, salesman with
APM Limited. “Hamid and Jill were shocked
and extremely excited to win the big prize!”
APA’s WD shareholders conducted the Scratch & Win Sweepstakes at
over 250 locations across the United
States and Canada from October through December. Each time a
product was purchased from one of the
sponsoring manufacturers, the installer received a scratch
ticket. Thousands of dollars in instant winning gift
cards were distributed and several thousand completed scratch
cards were returned for the $10,000 drawing.
We
would very much like to thank our sponsors who make this
sweepstakes possible.” Said Dan Freeman, President
& CEO of Automotive Parts Associates, Inc.
