Women's Workshop: "Knowledge Is Power"

We are going to be scheduling a Women's Workshop on auto care tips, simple car care, and many other subjects relating to vehicles. Do you have a teenage daughter in drivers' education, or soon-to-be in drivers' education? We would love for you to bring them with you as well! "Knowledge is power", and the more you know,

• Do you know how to change a tire? By knowing how to change your own tire, you can save yourself a lot of time by not having to call somebody to do it for you!
• What about hook up jumper cables?
• What objects should you keep in your vehicle at all times?
• How do you know the tires you just bought really are the "top of the line" like you were told?
• How do you tell the difference between good quality and lower quality tires?
• How do you check your oil, and if your vehicle needs oil, where do you add it?
• Many more subjects!

Before we schedule this, we would like to get your input on date/time, location, subjects, etc. Please provide your feedback below on any suggestions you may have for us in regards to this workshop. Everybody that gives us suggestions will be entered to win a FREE oil change from Gines Auto Service! Thanks!

History of Gines Service

Mark’s dad, Clyde Gines, started the mechanic business in 1960 at Clyde's Chevron in West Valley City. When Mark graduated from High School, he opened a gas station in Kearns, later to become the current Gines Service. Mark has operated that shop since 1978.


Gines Service was originally Gines 66, but in 1991 when Mark eliminated selling gasoline and got rid of his gasoline pumps, he changed the name to the current Gines Service Inc. Clyde retired in 1991.
Mark gives his appreciation and recognition to the best and most loyal employees he has ever had
in his twenty-nine yrs of business. Gines Service currently employees seven full-time ASE certified auto technicians and five part-time employees. The average amount of time an employee is employed at Gines Service is fifteen years.

Today, Gines Service provides a wide variety of services, from tires to alignment to oil changes. The business specializes in advanced electrical and technical diagnosis. Some of its services include license and registration and emails reminding customers when it's time to service their vehicle. All technicians are ASE certified and receive ongoing monthly training as well as AC Delco Certified and AC Delco training through Weber State University.

Mark says AC Delco has recognized Gines Services as TSS Accounts Technical Service Center - a significant distinction. Mark feels lucky to be a certified AC Delco service center because it requires following quite a few rules and regulations as well as having specific equipment and extensive ongoing training. AC Delco offers a comprehensive U.S.-wide warranty on all of its products, so if the part fails for some reason, they will tow the client's vehicle free of charge.

Mark's son, Chad, is also involved with the business and will likely be leading Gines Service into its third generation of family ownership. Mark plans to continue following the latest automobile technology and offering the same personalized service. His honest technicians thrive on resolving customers' automobile concerns.
