Company to supply $300 gift cards for initial
automotive needs and roadside emergency kits to more than 100
veterans who will receive refurbished vehicles during countrywide
events on November 7
For the second consecutive year, Pep Boys and Icahn Automotive
Group (Icahn Automotive) will support veterans of the U.S. Armed
Forces and their families as an affiliate of Progressive’s Keys to
Progress® program, which on November 7 will present refurbished
vehicles to more than 100 veterans in over 60 locations. In
addition to their extensively updated vehicles, recipients will
drive away with a $300 gift card that can be redeemed when their
vehicles need recommended maintenance at any of the approximately
1,000 Pep Boys locations in the U.S. and Puerto Rico.
“We are proud to support Progressive’s Keys to Progress program
again and make a positive impact on the lives of deserving veterans
and their families,” said Brian Kaner, CEO-Service, Icahn
Automotive. “We respect the sacrifices that every member of the
military has made, including many of our employees, and thank them
for their service to our country.”
Pep Boys will have representation at each of the local Keys to
Progress events on November 7 to personally present the company’s
packages, each including the gift card, roadside emergency kit and
other items. In addition, Pep Boys Mobile Crew, a team of trained
professional technicians who provide on-location maintenance and
repair services, will help with final preparation of the vehicles
being presented to recipients during the Keys to Progress event at
Progressive’s campus in Mayfield Village, Ohio. Joining Pep Boys
Mobile Crew will be partner Shell TapUp, a mobile fueling service
that delivers Shell quality fuels and cleaning direct to vehicles
for businesses and consumers, which will provide recipients their
first tank of gas before driving away. Pep Boys offers a 10-percent
discount* on automotive service and parts to all active, reserve
and retired military personnel, and is a proud employer of veterans
and reserve members of the military.
Progressive’s Keys to Progress program provides reliable
transportation to help military veterans and their families move
forward in life. With this year’s nationwide event, the program
will have provided more than 700 refurbished vehicles to veterans
and veteran organizations.
