<p>DAVISON TWP. — A frightening good time awaits the entire family when  the first annual Trunk or Treat rolls in at Jim Waldron Buick-GMC, Oct.  29 from 2–5 p.m. The free spook-tacular event allows children to collect  treats in a fun and safe environment.</p>
<p>Ghosts and goblins dressed in their Halloween costumes can trick or  treat throughout the dealership’s used car parking lot for candy and  trinkets from trunks and truck beds.

<p>More than 30 local businesses are participating in the first time  event. All participating sponsorships are free and allow businesses and  organizations to connect with local families. Sponsors have the  opportunity to include signage at each vehicle as well as distribute  coupons and/or other child-friendly goodies highlighting their business  or organization.</p>
<p>The Davison police and fire departments will be onsite to greet guests with their police cars and fire trucks.</p>
<p>Complete Trunk or Treat details are available online at www.jimwaldron.com or by calling 800-WALDRON.</p>

<p>Jim Waldron has confirmed All Star Detroit pitcher Justin Verlander will be at Jim Waldron Buick GMC in Davison this summer, the date is yet to be determined. Jim Waldron Buick GMC partnered with Detroit Tigers pitcher Justin Verlander in 2006 when Verlander agreed to make an annual summer appearance at the dealership to sign autographs. If you are interested in registering to be part of an exclusive private meet and greet with Justin, register online at jimwaldron.com, and check back often for information on his appearance dates.</p>
<p>Jim Waldron first began in the car business at a GM dealership in Royal Oak, Michigan in 1976. Once he got a taste for the business he decided he wanted to own his own dealership. In 1986, he sold his house, borrowed money from his father and purchased what is now Jim Waldron Buick GMC in Davison.</p>
<p>The family run business is located in Davison at the corner of M-15 and Lapeer Road, just north of I-69, off M-15. In the 25 years since ownership, he has grown the dealership to be one of the premier dealerships in Michigan. Consistently rated #1 in customer satisfaction for sales and service, Jim Waldron says General Motors is always asking him for his ‘secret.’</p>
<p>“It’s no secret,” says Jim Waldron, “It’s all about the people.” The customer satisfaction rating is based on customer feed back received from customers surveyed by GM. Waldron strongly recommends that anyone shopping for a vehicle requests to view the surveys of any dealership they are considering doing business with. “Anyone can win your business during the sale. It’s how well you are taken care of after the sale that matters,” says Waldron.</p>
<p>Jim Waldron Buick GMC has 100 employees, many with 15 years of employment, and several<br />
have been with him since the day he opened the dealership in 1986. “We are always looking for<br />
the best individuals to hire – and we are always making sure our pay plans are the strongest in the industry,” adds Waldron. “You cannot have happy customers without happy employees.”</p>
<p>Jim Waldron has developed a slogan for his business known as ‘The Waldron Way.’ Jim Waldron<br />
explains the Waldron Way as “The way we do business. We put the customer first, every time,<br />
treating them as we would want to be treated. It’s anticipating the customer’s needs, following<br />
through with what we say we are going to do, and ensuring customers are happy with their<br />
experience. We know customers have high expectations, and we strive to meet them each and<br />
every time” says Waldron. That proves itself to be true. From the friendly smiles and greetings<br />
when you walk through the door to the newly remodeled facility in both service and sales. You can’t help but feel welcomed at Jim Waldron’s in Davison.</p>
<p>Not only does Jim Waldron have a terrific selection of new and used vehicles, but Waldron<br />
says they can get customers any type of vehicle they want. “We wholesale several hundred vehicles a month, many of those cars never hit our lot. However, if a customers wants a vehicle that we don’t have, we simply divert that vehicle to our lot so it can be purchased. And as far as price – every used vehicle has the price marked right in the window, you have to wonder why everyone doesn’t do that! All new vehicles come with the lifetime price guarantee, If we<br />
don’t beat your best deal the vehicle is free for life, before or after the sale,” says Waldron. That’s<br />
right; they put their money where their mouth is!</p>
<p>While most dealerships are thought of as only a place to buy vehicles, Jim Waldron stands out<br />
above the crowd because they are considered a “full service” dealership. This means they also<br />
provide service and body shop facilities. Their high volume quick lube departments earned “Best of Genesee” for quick lube facilities. They offer two drive up lanes that allow customers to remain<br />
in their vehicle. In addition, the employees serve them complimentary fresh coffee while they wait.<br />
With an average oil change time of under thirteen minutes, they understand the “quick lube” con-<br />
cept. Although they get customers in and out quickly, they still provide a comprehensive vehicle<br />
inspection at no cost. Speaking of no cost, they offer FREE tire rotations &#8211; no purchase necessary. “Rotating your tires provides the tires a longer life and a better ride,” says Waldron. “We don’t ever want people to have to worry about having to pay for that, so for peace-of-mind, we offer tire rotations free to everyone.”</p>
<p>The customer driven dealership offers convenient pick up and delivery for customers, and it’s been heard that on occasion it can happen, if requested, via helicopter! Now that’s customer<br />
service! The Waldron Tire center consistently beats out-the-door tire prices of even the largest tire warehouses. “Our prices are the best in the business, and it all comes with the ‘Waldron Way’ customer service.” Says Waldron.</p>
<p>The dealership is a very strong supporter of local organizations, particularly the school systems.<br />
Waldron believes that education is the future of our country and, again, he puts his money where<br />
his mouth is. “I grew up working two jobs and I knew through strong schooling I would be able<br />
to open doors to do whatever I wanted to do. I want to ensure that our youth have the same<br />
opportunities I had,” says Waldron. The Jim Waldron $50,000 School Challenge started in 2010<br />
and has been extended through 2011. This community driven fundraiser allows customers to<br />
designate funds to the school of their choice every time they do business with the dealership.<br />
Twenty-one districts received checks from Jim Waldron from the 2010 School Challenge.</p>
<p>“Please accept our invitation to experience ‘The Waldron Way’ for any of your automotive<br />
needs,” says Waldron.</p>
