KEEPING UP WITH THE MILLENNIALS
In order to keep up with the Millennials Elysian Auto Service is message friendly. And let’s be honest, it’s not just Millennials who appreciate the efficiency and convenience of today’s “message” technology. You can text or email them day or night to set up an appointment. A unique feature they have is their digital inspection, which allows them to be completely transparent and gives customers a chance to be involved and make informed decisions. Customers can review the vehicle’s health report, complete with photos of their vehicle and notes from the technician, on their phones at any time. And if you aren’t quite sure what something on your inspection means, they provide video links to help you learn more. They also utilize social media channels like Facebook and Google to engage their customers and keep connected.

A SHOP THAT GIVES BACK
“We believe in supporting automotive technology education because there is a shortage of technicians. We’ve been volunteering at the local colleges participating in career days, job fairs, and internships for students. This is a field where we need more people.” – Susan Morsching
BRAKES FOR BREASTS
Starting in 2017, during the month of October Elysian Auto Service participates in Brakes for Breasts, a fundraiser that donates to The Cleveland Clinic Breast Cancer Vaccine Research Fund. Here’s how it works: Auto repair shops across the US offer free brake pads and all you have to pay for is the labor to install them. Then 10% of that brake service gets donated straight to the research fund. Elysian Auto Service is the only Minnesota shop to work with the Brakes for Breasts fundraiser in the past 4 years.

FUNDRAISERS

Do Brake Pads And Rotors Need To Be Replaced At The Same Time? Have you recently started to hear grinding when you press on the brake pedal? Or maybe your brake pedal has started to feel squishy? These are both telltale signs that it is time to have your brakes looked at. To answer the question on brake pads and rotors needing to be replaced at the same time, our answer is yes. What are brake pads? Brake pads are flat pieces of steel. On one side they are smooth and on the other side is a thick material that absorbs friction. When you press on your brake pedal, your brake pads make contact with your rotors which slows you and eventually brings you to a stop. Every time you brake, your pad loses a bit of the friction-absorbing material. What are rotors? Rotors are a disk that oftentimes can be seen from your wheel well. Rotors are what absorb the high pressure from your brake pads. When you press the brake pedal, your pads make contact with the rotors. Rotors are subject to ...

Friday, October 1st kicked off our 2021 Brakes for Breasts campaign at Elysian Auto Service. This is our 7th year participating and we are on pace for our best year yet! As part of the fundraiser, participating auto repair facilities will give away free brake pads or shoes . The customer pays the labor and any other ancillary parts necessary to complete the brake job, and the shops then donate 10% of the brake job directly to Dr. Vincent Tuohy & The Cleveland Clinic Breast Cancer Vaccine Research Fund . Dr. Tuohy and his team have created a vaccine designed to prevent triple-negative breast cancer. The vaccine has FDA approval and started clinical trials this summer. Brakes For Breasts started in 2011 and since then has raised over $1,000,000 ! We are so proud to be part of such an amazing organization and fundraising effort.
