Fourth Line Automotive has teamed up with seven other automotive repair facilities to support the Toys For Tots campaign this holiday season. Each one of these seven participating facilities will be donating $500 in cash along with all the presents collected for Toys For Tots.

With your help, we are collecting toy donations at our shop now through December 12th! We are especially looking for gifts for children ages 12-16, who are often forgotten this time of year.

How Can You Help?

• Drop off your Toy Donations at Fourth Line Automotive now through Monday, December 12th!

Toys for Tots’ initial objective, which remains the hallmark of the program today, is to ‘bring the joy of Christmas to needy children’.

Record Gas Prices Make it Perfect Time to “Be Car Care Aware.”

“Hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of gasoline is wasted every day by motorists, because simple and inexpensive vehicle maintenance is neglected,” says Car Care Canada’s Marc Brazeau. “Loose or missing gas caps, under-inflated tires, worn spark plugs and dirty air filters all contribute to poor fuel economy.”

Car Care Canada offers these fuel-saving tips:

• Vehicle gas caps – In Canada, the provinces with emissions testing programs suggest that this is a common cause for failing an emissions test – yet it is simple and inexpensive to fix. According to US studies, about 17 percent of the vehicles on the roads have gas caps that are either damaged, loose or are missing altogether.
• Under inflated tires – When tires aren’t inflated properly it’s like driving with the parking brake.
• Worn spark plugs - A vehicle can have either four, six or eight spark plugs, which fire as many as 3 million times every 1,500 km, resulting in a lot of heat and electrical and chemical erosion. A dirty spark plug causes misfiring, which wastes fuel. Spark plugs need to be replaced regularly.
• Dirty air filters – An air filter that is clogged with dirt, dust and bugs chokes off the air and creates a “rich” mixture – too much gas being burned for the amount of air, which wastes gas and causes the engine to lose power. Replacing a clogged air filter can improve gas mileage by as much as 10 percent.

Other fuel-saving driving tips include:

• Don’t be an aggressive driver – Aggressive driving can lower gas mileage by as much as 33 percent on the highway and 5 percent on city streets, which results in 2 to 15 cents per litre.
• Observe the speed limit - Gas mileage decreases rapidly at speeds above 100kph. Each kph driven over 100 will result in an additional 3 cents per litre. To maintain a constant speed on the highway, cruise control is recommended.

Gino Paccione knows first-hand that the YMCA can make a difference. Before joining the YMCA in 1982, Gino was overweight, over-worked and smoked two packs a day. He now leads a healthy lifestyle which includes regular morning work-outs at the YMCA.  Gino wants to give back and help those who cannot afford to pay the full costs of a YMCA membership so they can find hope and health like he did.

As the owner of Fourth Line Automotive, Gino is inviting his customers to support YMCA Strong Kids.

Bring your vehicle into Fourth Line Automotive for service, mention that you heard they are raising money for YMCA Strong Kids and they will donate $25 to the YMCA of Oakville.

Plus, every consumer will receive a Customer Care Kit including the following:

1. Rewards Card that earns dollars with every visit
2. Complimentary 24 Hour Continent Wide Roadside Assistance
3. Nationwide Warranty

Customers can choose to donate their Rewards Dollars to the YMCA of Oakville. Fourth Line Automotive will match these donations up to the first $500 each year. Once a consumer chooses to donate all or a percentage of their Rewards to the YMCA of Oakville, dollars will be raised every time the consumer comes in for service and as long as they want to keep donating. There is no limit on the amount that can be raised.

Fourth Line Automotive
559 Speers Road, Oakville ON,  L6K 2G4

We are grateful to Fourth Line Automotive and their customers for bringing hope and health to kids in our community.

Saving you a lot of money is what it’s all about

For most of us, money matters. A lot! So let’s explore the real costs of vehicle ownership. According to Canadian Black Book1, the average vehicle in Canada will loose about 70% of its value in the first five years. On average, that’s about $18,000 in depreciation; and it’s just gone – you can never get it back.

With Re-Ride, you can save most of this cost by extending the life of your vehicle, versus trading it in prematurely. From “Bumper to Bumper – Rubber to Roof”, we bring your vehicle back to Like-New condition, complete with warranty. Re-Ride gives you back the reliability, drivability and safety you and your family need – without taking a huge hit on depreciation all over again. It’s your money, so you can decide what you’d rather have. Depreciation, or money in the bank to do what you really want to do!

With Re-Ride, there are no more costly surprises.

In fact, there are no more repair costs, period, for the next 3 years or 60,000 kilometres!

Each Re-Ride begins with an in-depth, no obligation 150 point inspection. We take you through the report, and provide you with a Re-Ride program tailored specifically for you and what your vehicle needs. And with each Re-Ride comes our 36 month/60,000 kilometre Mechanical Protection Plan2 on all parts and labour-not just with the parts we replace during a Re-Ride, but protection on the entire vehicle, very similar to a new car warranty. We even include all the oil changes your vehicle requires for the next 60,000 kms!

No more costly surprises! Isn’t that a refreshing idea?

Book your appointment today and start planning what you can do with the money you’ll save!
