A Word about Service Contracts

Today's economy is challenging enough without having to worry about unexpected auto repairs.  Let's face it, any vehicle can breakdown at any given time.  If they didn't, there would be no need for quality service departments or skilled technicians to repair them.  The added expense and stress of these repairs can be avoided when your vehicle is protected with a service contract.
Service contracts, first and foremost add peace of mind.  There is a certain sense of security achieved by knowing your vehicle is protected from the  unexpected.  Think of how much we spend on auto insurance each year.  Service contracts cover so much more and at a fraction of the cost.  Consider this, with labor rates about $100 per hour, even simple repairs can add up quickly once you factor in parts, towing and rental car costs.
Service contracts are available for every vehicle and every budget.  There are also many different time and mileage options, to cover all driving habits.  Nationwide coverage, towing, rental car and roadside assistance are all included in every service contract we offer.  Whether you include a service contract in your loan package or take advantage of our short term 0% finance options, I can find the right plan to suit your needs.  Even if you've already purchased a vehicle, it is not too late to get protected.
I would love the opportunity to discuss your options further, so feel free to contact me any time at tony1425@msn.com or 845-296-3432

Sports with Fran

What a rough weekend for local football fans.  The Giants were beaten soundly by the rejuvenated Dallas Cowboys and their new head coach Jason Garrett.  Even though the G-men were missing several key players the loss was still inexcusable.  The Jets in the mean time won a game for the third week in a row they had no right winning.  The next 3 weeks are big for both teams and should give us an indication on how they will finish.

Even though it is still very early, I would have to say that all of our local NBA & NHL teams are in for long season, so don't look for anything there.
Locally, the men's and women's basketball teams at Marist get underway.  Lets hope the women can continue their winning ways and the men can become competitive again.  I am Red Fox Club member so let me know if you need any tickets.
See you next week...

Shop Local First

I took my daughters to the mall last night in search of some warmer clothes. While there, my five year old was excited to see that most of the store’s display windows were sparkling with holiday colors and adorned with decorations and “must have” gifts for the upcoming holiday season.

With holiday shopping on my mind, I wanted to remind everyone to shop local first. When you shop local, you keep local people employed and generate revenue that many businesses give back to our community in forms of donations to local youth organizations, local shelters, schools, religious organization and more.

I know it sometimes seems easier to go online and shop instead of putting up with big crowds and long lines. But remember that many of our local shops also have on-line stores and offer the same buying experience as the big department stores. There are also many local artisans who sell their goods at craft fairs throughout the Hudson Valley, making for very unique gift giving ideas. Also consider local wineries, farm markets, church fairs, and more.

I’m not saying don’t shop at the mall…. I’m saying shop local first. Be it a gift certificate to a local farm market, hair supplies from a local beauty salon or a new car from Poughkeepsie Nissan (I just had to throw that in), please remember to support our local businesses this holiday season and shop local first.
