Delphi Product & Service Solutions Announces 2015 Dream Shop Sweepstakes

TROY, Mich. — Delphi Product & Service Solutions launched its annual Delphi Dream Shop Sweepstakes in the U.S. and Canada. For the grand prize, Delphi will equip one lucky professional automotive technician with $10,000 to build their own Delphi Dream Shop. Hundreds of other prizes will be awarded monthly, weekly and instantly.

The winning technician can use the grand prize to upgrade his existing workspace or build his ultimate Dream Shop. Technicians can register at the dedicated Delphi Dream Shop website (delphidreamshop.com) or through Delphi’s Facebook page (facebook.com/DelphiAutoParts).

New for 2015, three sweepstakes finalists will be flown to Detroit in January to attend the 2016 North American International Auto Show and attend a special event where the grand prize winner will be announced.

“This year, we’re adding to the excitement of the Delphi Dream Shop sweepstakes with new prizes and more ways for technicians to win, including monthly gas card giveaways for posting photos of your favorite car,” said Philippe Desnos, president, Delphi Product & Service Solutions. “In addition, as part of the sweepstakes, we’ll also be selecting ten student technicians who will each receive a $500 grant. As cars become more and more electronic, education is critical for technicians to ensure they can effectively diagnose and resolve issues on these complex systems.”

In addition to the grand prize, technicians are eligible to win monthly prizes of action camcorders, weekly prizes of Delphi mechanic gloves and shop stools, plus hundreds of instant prizes including Delphi fender covers, lunch coolers and hats. Technicians are encouraged to enter early and visit often. Official rules can be found at delphidreamshop.com.

The Automotive Aftermarket Charitable Foundation (AACF) announced the launch of its 65th-anniversary fundraising initiative.
