At one of today’s regional Keys to Progress events, in Mayfield
Village, Ohio, Pep Boys Mobile Crew, a team of ASE-certified
professional technicians who provide on-location maintenance and
repair services, helped prepare recipients’ vehicles for final
delivery. They were assisted by Shell TapUp, a mobile fueling
service that delivers Shell quality fuels and cleaning direct to
vehicles for businesses and consumers, which provided tanks of gas
to vehicle recipients.
“We thank Progressive Insurance for welcoming our support of
this important program and the veterans who have done so much to
protect our nation,” said Brian Kaner, CEO-Service, Icahn
Automotive, who spoke to recipients and attendees at the Mayfield
Village event. “We recognize the difficulty many veterans face
transitioning to their lives as civilians and are proud to play a
role in helping them maintain safe, reliable transportation.”
In addition to its support of the Keys to Progress program, Pep
Boys offers an everyday 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 has donated more than 700
vehicles in seven years to veterans and veteran organizations.
Progressive works with local National Auto Body Council™ (NABC)
member body shops and charitable organizations to recycle and
donate vehicles that have been damaged in an accident. The program
is affiliated with NABC’s Recycled Rides® initiative. Affiliates
such as Pep Boys, support the program by fulfilling additional
needs that come as a result of new vehicle ownership.
