For several years I wrote jingles for ads. And I wrote for all sorts of companies. If you lived in Colorado for any time during the past 20 years, and if you listened to radio, chances are you heard me at least once.
Most of those jingles for ads faded away with time.
But not all of them.
In fact, almost 11 years ago I shared the story of how I discovered one of those jingles still being used by an auto repair shop in Lakewood, Colorado. I talked about how I needed to call someone about a problem I was having with my Jeep. And I found that same repair shop still using the jingle I wrote for them over 10 years before that.
Well, today, over 10 more years have passed. And that repair shop has been handed down from one generation to the next generation of the same family. Their family history, in the auto repair and supply business, goes back over a hundred years. Wow, that’s not the norm these days.
But with a new generation you expect change. Right? Of course. Because this generation has to deal with a whole new generation of cars, too. So, it’s only natural the younger generation would probably see things a little differently from the previous generations.
Hmm…I’m sure using the word “generation” a lot.
Anyway…
Through a series of search engine tweaks I had to do for business, today, I found that same auto repair shop’s website. And you might not believe it, but they still use my jingle.
Well, actually it’s their jingle. I just wrote and sang it. You can hear the music in one of the videos on the Pickering’s Automotive website.
I’m honored to be a part of their quality business. So, if you happen to find your car in need of repair, and you happen to live in Lakewood or Arvada, Colorado, check with Pickering’s Auto Service. And tell them Tony, their jingle guy, sent you.
For great service and repair,
You need someone to care.
Look no more. Pick Pickering.
