We purchased our shop 2 years ago . the shop has been in business for over 55 years and I have tried to find every way possible to not only give to the community but also to show appreciation to the employees for their hard work and dedication. this year I decided to have a Christmas party for them and their families. The aftermarket rewards are a big part of what makes it a success. I take the amount of points we have divide it into how many employees we have and then I take that number and purchase however many large items I need for the large door prizes a the party. this allows us to spend more money on the dinner and activities for them and their family.
thank you so much for helping make this possible!

At Aftermarket Rewards, we like to think we come very close to the "silver bullet".
