We are proud to announce our Ice Cold Air® Discount Auto Repair shop at 501 East Sligh Avenue in Tampa is giving away one free set of brake pads, including the labor to install them, to customers who bring in eight cans or boxes of non-perishable food. This will be the shop’s fifth annual “Putting the Brakes on Hunger” campaign which runs from Monday, February 17th through Saturday, March 14th and is only valid at the Sligh Avenue location.
Since 2016, the shop has collected over 3,100 pounds of food donations. The auto shop partners with Advance Auto Parts at 901 E Hillsborough Avenue in Tampa who donates the brake pads used for the campaign.
“We are very proud to partner again with Feeding Tampa Bay. It is a privilege to help assist our customer’s support of a local charity that conducts challenging important work and creates positive impacts in the lives our community’s citizens and families,” said Aaron Turner, the franchise owner of the Sligh Avenue location. “Food bank donations are really important right now and our team is excited for the chance to make a big difference with this year’s campaign.”
Customers are strongly encouraged to make an appointment for their service and bring the non-perishable food donation with them when they drop off their vehicle for service. The donations will only be accepted between February 17th and March 14th at the Tampa location on Sligh Ave. The food must be new, non-perishable food items; no homemade or unlabeled donations can be accepted. Those interested in taking advantage of the promotion should call 813-231-0211, stop by the Sligh Avenue location, or can schedule an appointment on-line by visiting www.icecoldair.com/appointment-request.
Our 17 locations are located in five Bay-area counties and we all do several charitable donations for auto service promotions each year, some are company-wide (i.e: Toys for Tots for 14 years), while other promotions are shop specific. Each location’s franchise owner is encouraged to support the charities that they hold close to their heart or support neighborhoods located near their shops. Our customers and community have been very good to us for 50 years, and supporting worthy local charities is an excellent way for us to give back to the community and our customers for their support.
