For Every Fan We Gain in Dec. We Are Donating $1 to Operation Uplift to Benefit Area Homeless

For every fan we get in December, we will donate $1 for Operation Uplift to Help the Homeless!

It’s December, and that means it’s a time to be with friends and family in the comfort of our own home. Unfortunately for the thousands of homeless in the Kansas City area, that reality is not possible. Forced to live outside in the cold, with very little resources, winter can be rough.

That’s why for the month of December, Aristocrat Motors will donate $1 to Operation Uplift for every person that “Likes” our Facebook page. Simply put, we will take our fan count on the 31^st, subtract where we are today, and pay Uplift the difference.

Uplift is a Kansas City based nonprofit that provides food, clothing, and other assistance to the homeless community of Kansas City. They can be found on the web at www.Uplift.org.

Parts and Service Go-Kart Races

Some people may not be aware, but Aristocrat Motors and Mercedes-Benz of Kansas City are both owned by a parent corporation, The Soave Automotive Group. The Soave Automotive Group operates these stores as separate facilities, but we do emphasize to all of our employees the importance of working together as a team.

It is extremely important that a parts and service department to function as a team so mistakes are not made and to ensure our customers receive the best possible experience.

So we organized a giant go-kart championship.

This week at Sadler’s Racing in Olathe, members from Aristocrat Motors and Mercedes-Benz of Kansas City took to the indoor track to settle who our fastest go kart driver is. 

The tournament is a series of rounds, where each driver has 10 minutes to race, and the drivers with the fastest lap times advance to the subsequent rounds.

Results to come next week!

Winter Driving Tips

Aristocrat Motors wishes everyone a safe holiday season. With the weather getting colder and as people are traveling to see family, we would like to share with you some winter weather driving tips:

1.       Get a checkup: The last thing you want is a breakdown while it’s snowing. Come in and have your vehicle checked out by scheduling a service appointment at: http://www.aristocratmotors.com/schedule-service. These checks can include:

a.       Battery Check

b.      Coolant Check

c.       Find/Fix any Leaks

d.      Check Wipers

e.      Fill Washer Fluid

f.        Check Rear Defroster

g.       Check traction control and safety systems.

2.       Go slow. Even though your vehicle may have 4 or All-Wheel Drive, that doesn’t mean it stops any faster. Make sure to allow yourself enough time to get there safely.

3.       Keep your gas tank full: In the event of a heavy traffic jam or getting stuck, you need to make sure your car can keep running long enough for help to arrive or the traffic to clear. (Plus the engine runs your heater… wouldn’t want that going out in a blizzard)

4.       Keep your phone charged: For the same reason as in #3, it is important that your phone is fully charged when you leave home and work so you can always call for assistance.

5.       Get snow tires: Many of our customers enjoy the thrill of performance driving, and some of their tire setups are not adequately equipped to handle heavy snow. If that’s your case, we recommend keeping a set of snow tires and wheels for the winter driving season.

smart Halloween Party

On October 29^th, 2011 over a dozen of our favorite smart car owners showed up to smart center Merriam for our annual Halloween party.

While some of them showed up to the party in costume, the real stars of the show were the vehicles themselves. 10 vehicles showed up in costume, including everything from a witch, a vampire, a helicopter, and even a donkey.

“It was amazing how creative people can get when decorating their own vehicle, and with the personality that a smart car already has, it was the perfect canvas,” said Melinda Melton, smart center Merriam manager.

Fun was had by all, and we were impressed by the creativity. Now it’s time to start planning your smart’s costume for next year!
