It has grown to become a holiday extravaganza that has raised over $1 million to improve healthcare in our community--proving that the Brenner Children's Hospital Festival of Trees is more than just the hottest holiday ticket in town; it is a celebration of what can happen when people work together for a greater good. Visitors stroll through a winter village full of 40 decorated trees, magnificent gingerbread houses, an assortment of specialty shops, and an array of children's activities. There are celebrity ornaments and gingerbread houses sold through silent auction and wreaths and mini-trees to purchase. The main stage features continuous live entertainment and attracts people of all ages.

“It warms my heart for my dealership (http://www.frankmyersauto.com/) to participate in such a fantastic event. My employees and I are also happy to see so many businesses and people who want to be a part of the Festival of Trees,” says Tracy Myers, the owner of Frank Myers Auto Maxx. “My family and our family of businesses have been a part of the Triad area for more than 82 years.

The Credit Miracle Worker at Frank Myers Auto Maxx Presents: Credit Myths and Misconceptions

My name is Rich Little and I'm the Business Manager at Frank Myers Auto Maxx in Winston-Salem, NC. Over the years, I've been hailed as a “credit miracle worker” by many and as “too good to be legal” by others.

So...what kinds of kinds of credit problems have I dealt with in my storied career? Bankruptcy, medical bills, charge offs, late payments, divorces, student loan problems, IRS demands, repossessions, and more.

And even though I've literally helped thousands drive home in the car of their dreams, it's about more than that to me. It's also about helping folks rebuild their credit and rebuild their lives.

But there is a lot of false information about credit and credit reports and what does and does not lead to the necessity of credit repair and restoration.

So please allow me to share wth you some common myths and misconceptions.

1. Paying cash for everything will help your credit rating.Using cash for all your transactions does not have an effect on your credit (other than you are not using loans, lines of credit or credit cards).


2. Paying off collections, tax liens and late payments will remove them from your credit report. Resolving these items is no guarantee they will be removed from your report. You must continue to monitor the situation until the items are truly removed.


3. All of your credit reports and credit scores will be the same.It’s not unusual for reports to differ from credit bureau to bureau. Plus, major banks and creditors often have their own method of determining your credit score.


4. If you have poor credit, your credit scores will suffer for seven years.The seven year “rule” pertains to a certain type of bankruptcy, not credit issues. Credit issues can be resolved quickly, sometimes in a matter of days or weeks.


5. Making a lot of money will improve your credit report and scores.Income is not a big factor in your credit rating. More important is how you spend your money in terms of using credit to do so.


6. Divorce will absolve you of your credit responsibilities.The effect on your credit depends on your divorce decree, settlement and your history of sharing credit accounts with your spouse. The Equal Credit Opportunity Act states that married couples have the right to request separate credit reports and histories, even for joint accounts. And, if an account is listed under only one spouse’s name, the other spouse has the right to rely on that credit history.


7. Closing credit card accounts will improve your credit scores. A closed credit card account is considered “static” information (not being used) and has little effect on your credit.


8. The proper and responsible use of check cards can help your credit reports and scores.Most check cards do not have an impact on your credit status.

Next time, I'll tell you the differences between the three credit bureaus and how your credit score is determined.

Is Your Car Ready For Winter? It Better Be!

November 11, 2009 in Winston Salem, NC by Uncle Frank -

It's getting colder and the sudden chill in the air is an obvious reminder that winter will be here all too soon. Now is the best time to prepare your car for those cold, snowy months ahead. The auto experts at Frank Myers Auto Maxx in Winston-Salem agree that the right preparation can keep your car running smoothly and safely this winter.

According to Robert Thomas, Service Director at Frank Myers Auto, the first place to start is your tires. Make sure you have a good amount of tread on your tires, so they have a firm grip on snowy, icy roads. Snow tires can make winter driving much easier, so if you have a rear-wheel drive car, a car with high performance tires, or a lightweight vehicle, you might want to consider snow tires.

"To see if your tires need replacing, look at the grooves and make sure that the tires have not worn down to the tire wear bars," Thomas said. "These are ridges of rubber that run perpendicular to the grooves in your tires. If your tires are past this point, you should replace them."

He also emphasizes that you should always start the winter with new windshield wiper blades, and replace them again come spring, after they have endured rough weather conditions.

"When replacing your blades, be sure to ask for winter-style ones which can prevent ice buildup," says Tracy Myers, owner of Frank Myers Auto. "Since visibility is key when driving in stormy conditions, make sure your window washer fluid is full at all times."

Both Thomas and Myers agree that all car owners to schedule a complete vehicle checkup before winter hits.

"We recommend having your belts, hoses, battery and coolant checked before temperatures really drop. Making sure everything is working as it should helps minimize wear and tear. You may also need to switch to a lower weight of oil in the winter month," Thomas says. "Your heater and defrosters, as well as your battery and anti-freeze are also all critical components for winter driving. You don't want to be cold, you need your windshield clear, and both your anti-freeze and battery are crucial for the starting and operating of your car."

To schedule a 100% free winterization check on your vehicle, call the service center at Frank Myers Auto Maxx. (336) 831-0656 is the direct number and the address is 4200 North Patterson Avenue in Winston-Salem, NC.

Black Friday Pricing All Month Long At Frank Myers Auto Maxx

Winston Salem – Tracy Myers from Frank Myers Auto Maxx is no stranger to controversy or attention and has once again cre­ated a surge of excitement among Winston Salem residents. Beginning November 1st, he'll be offering Day-Af­ter-Thanksgiving specials throughout the month of November.

The biggest shopping day of the year has long been the day after Thanksgiving…and for good reason. Many retailers create irresistible incentives for shoppers to buy on that day. But Myers rejects the idea. “I don’t think it’s right to make people wait until the end of the month and then have to wake up before the sun rises and stand in line to get a great deal. So I’ve decided to make ‘Black Friday’ deals available for the whole month.”

Here’s how “Black November” works:
(1) The entire “Black November” inven­tory selection has been marked down to reflect the lowest prices, lowest payments and lowest down payments of the year;

(2) These mammoth discounts are NOT marked on the vehicles. Customers may obtain a “Black November” discount sheet from the showroom at Frank Myers Auto Maxx or at frankmyersauto.com;

(3) No payments until 2010, which means you’ll have more to spend on holiday gift giving;

(4) In light of the holiday season, past credit problems will be ignored;

(5) Because used cars are in high de­mand right now, your trade will worth as much as 50% more than its original appraised value. This means you can stop making remaining loan or lease payments and may also result in an ad­ditional price reduction on the car you choose.

Myers says, “This is one of my favorite times of the year. I’m excited to help my neighbors and other people in Winston-Salem get a nicer, newer vehicle…and get the BEST DEAL available any­where without waiting until after Thanks­giving. “

He went on to say, “I think people have got better things to do that weekend…like getting started on Christmas shopping or spending time with family or volunteer­ing to help others. But I’ve seen how good people feel after getting a real steal on Black Friday…and want people to feel that same way when they buy a car from Frank Myers Auto Maxx any time this month.”

Another Reason To Give Thanks: Credit Forgiveness For Good People
The people at Frank Myers Auto un­derstand that recent financial strains have made it difficult for some people and some families to pay all their bills on time. This month they’re featuring their Everybody Rides Program.

“My Everybody Rides Program is about providing extra help to people who have had some trouble with their credit. That means more patience, more understanding, more forgiveness, more approvals, more emphasis on the fu­ture instead of the past. We’re helping good people get back on track. And a fair loan on a nicer, newer car is the just the thing many people need right now. It’s time to leave those old problems in the past and get back on the road with a car you’ll be proud of driving,” Myers explained.

But You Need To Hurry: “I’ve hand selected the most popular vehicles, my personal favorites, and those vehicles with the highest quality score to feature for this special sale. Best selection will go to those who arrive first. Like they say, ‘first come, first served.’ We have shipments of extra vehicles arriving all the time…but the best selection will go fast with steals like these,” said Myers.

The Black November will be taking place at Frank Myers Auto Maxx only, located at 4200 North Patterson Avenue in Winston-Salem, NC. For fastest service call 336-767-3432 to set a private ap­pointment.

2004 Honda Accord Is An Icon At Winston-Salem, NC Used Car Dealership

- The Honda Accord is an American icon but a used 2004 Honda Accord is the most requested vehicle at a Winston-Salem, NC dealership.

The Honda Accord has become an automotive icon and a small piece of Americana. As a matter of fact, it’s been around for so long that it’s hard to remember what it was like before the Accord. But there was such a time…

On a November day in 1982, the first American-produced Honda Accord rolled off the assembly line at the Marysville Auto Plant. Then, almost 22 years later, another Accord rolled off the assembly line to more accolades.

It was a silver 2004 Accord EX Sedan and it became the 10 millionth automobile produced by Honda in Ohio.

"This is a great accomplishment that shows the dedication of all our associates," Honda of America Mfg. President and CEO Koki Hirashima said. "Honda's growth in Ohio has provided opportunities for our associates, suppliers and neighboring communities."

With the start of motorcycle production in 1979, Honda of America was trying to establish itself as a company that could build quality products in the United States. Today, Honda of America is a leading automotive manufacturer and Honda is also one of the top selling pre-owned nameplates in the marketplace.

"Since that first Accord, our associates have never stopped trying to get better," said a representative for Honda. "From rolling model changes to building light trucks on the same line as cars, we have set the industry standard for flexibility and the desire to find better ways to manufacture the products our customers enjoy."

Tracy Myers, owner of Winston-Salem based used car dealer Frank Myers Auto Maxx, said that his customers love the Accord. “The Honda Accord is our number one requested vehicle…hands down. It’s more popular here than the used Maxima, used Camry and used Lexus combined. And the 2004 body style is still their most requested…regardless of the fact that it’s five years old. That’s why we try to keep several in stock. Plus we have a service department that is fully capable of handling almost any factory recommended maintenance at a fraction of what it would cost you at the Honda dealership.”

Last year, Frank Myers Auto Maxx was once again named a top 30 used car dealership in North Carolina. They are the premier pre-owned auto dealer in Winston-Salem, NC and are best known for their world famous "Everybody Rides" program.
