HOLLY, Mich. —  In honor of National Car Care Month, Bar’s Leaks and Rislone are hosting an online contest to award 10 lucky consumers a chance to win special, never-before released DIY Car Care packages.

Rislone’s Car Care Month Performance Kit will be equipped with a mix of five to six Rislone products, including their award-winning Rislone engine treatments, gasoline treatments and oil supplements. This kit comes with everything needed to boost performance, mileage and acceleration. The Bar’s Leaks Car Care Month Repair Kit, created with DIY enthusiasts in mind, will contain products that repair and prevent vehicle leaks, along with a radiator flush, water pump lube solution and other handy garage items. Both packages include exclusive vintage branded t-shirts and decals.

Together, this collection of products represents special Car Care Month offers that have never before been released to consumers as complementary product packages, the company says.

To enter, participants simply need to visit barsleaks.com/car-care-month-2015 or rislone.com/car-care-month-2015 and fill in the contest submission form. The winners will be randomly selected at the end of April. Each winner will be contacted directly by the Bar’s Leaks and Rislone team for further information and instructions. The promotion will conclude April 30th.

“Spring is an exciting time for people, and Car Care Month is the best way to remind our customers to pay a little extra attention to their cars after the long winter season,” said Jeff Ventura, vice president of digital strategy for the Bar’s Products family of brands. “This year, we want to make it as easy as possible for people to be proactive about their cars with our special Car Care kits. We hope these kits help people create strong maintenance routines for their cars, especially as they get ready for the summer months ahead.”

Bar’s Leaks and Rislone products are made specifically for the DIY automotive repair and performance markets. This contest represents an ongoing commitment by both brands to promote easy and affordable DIY solutions for at-home car repair and maintenance.

National Car Care Month, run by the Car Care Council, is an initiative to teach people about routines and products they can use to maintain their cars for longer periods of time. According to industry calculations, the average age of a vehicle on the road is about 11 years – in other words, people are holding on to their cars for longer. And with the harsh winters many have experienced the past two years, it is important to teach consumers to be “car-care aware” and provide them with the best maintenance and repair products in the industry.

Bar’s Leaks and Rislone are aftermarket chemical car products operating under the parent company, Bar’s Products. Both brands have a combined 160 years of chemical engineering experience and were the original technology innovators in their respective categories.

Customer Service: How It’s Done

Customer service should be your number one priority, and it all starts with the greeting.

This is always an important topic to discuss, because I consider excellent customer service one of the most important tools you can have to earn trust, respect and repeat business from the customers that come through your door. Whether that customer is do-it-yourselfer from across town or the professional repair shop across the street, your business depends on a solid relationship.It’s a subject that I am passionate about, and it’s one that many people are losing touch with. Whether you are communicating to someone in person, on the phone or using some type of social media, good customer service and bad can both exist. You can’t afford the latter, so this is the first in a series of topics which can and should be shared from the front of the shop to the back. No matter which role you hold, you represent the shop and yourself. Customer service should be your number one priority.First on the list is the greeting. From the second a customer walks in the door, they need to know you appreciate them coming in and how important they are to your business. First impressions are everything and here’s the correct way to do it each and every time: look them directly in the eye, smile and say hello!Of course, you can say “Good morning” or “Welcome to Joe’s Autocare,” but it should be a formal greeting and the most important thing is that you have smiled, looked them in the eye and recognized that they have walked through the door.You should always retain a formal greeting until you are on a first-name basis with a customer. Only once you have established that level of relationship is it OK to use the less formal greeting of “Hi,” followed by the person’s name.This greeting does more than just indicate respect and appreciation for someone walking through the door. Most likely there are customers both new and old who are in earshot of your conversation. For newer customers, this continues to build rapport and reinforce their positive view of your shop; they see that you demonstrate respect and treat everyone in the same manner. For repeat customers, even ones that have been coming for years, the greeting is important because the way you treat them is the reason they continue to come.And when a long-time customer comes in and you greet them with “Hi [First Name],” this indicates your appreciation for them and that you’re glad to see them as a person, more than just a customer. New customers that witness this will see that your repeat customers are comfortable enough to be on a first-name basis, another indication of the trust they have in you.
