Waterloo Automotive strives to be good neighbors, responsible to all residents and workers in our areas of business. We give back to the community by participating in a number of charitable and philanthropic efforts.
Community Service Spotlight
Guest Appreciation Week
Thank you for your overwhelming support of our two charities during our Guest Appreciation Week. Thanks to your support, we were able to donate over $1100.00 to the Waterloo Tree of Lights campaign helping local needy residents and over $1800 to the Jenny Straszacker Memorial Scholarship Fund assisting the students of St. Margaret Mary Alacoque attend high school. We couldn’t have done it without your help.
Waterloo Automotive Blood Drive Shares Love with the Community
This Valentine’s Day, Waterloo Automotive customers celebrated the holiday by donating blood to our local blood bank. Though the weather did not cooperate with our philanthropic plans, our 2nd annual blood drive, held in partnership with the Mississippi Valley Regional Blood Center, was still a success.Thank you to all who were able to make it, and if you were snowbound during the donation days, don’t worry—we’re planning another blood drive for later in the year. Details to come!
Holiday Mail for Heroes
For the third year, Waterloo Automotive is asking for your help in sending holiday cheer to service members, veterans and military families through the Holiday Mail for Heroes program.
Come in now to either location, and we’ll have cards waiting for you to personalize with your message.
Oil Changes for the MDA Fundraiser a Big Success
During the month of August, we donated $5 from every oil change to the Muscular Dystrophy Association. We raised an amazing $990 thanks to the 198 guests who stopped in to support the cause. Our owner, Phil Meyer, presented a check to the MDA at the annual telethon on Monday, September 7. Thank you for helping us make a difference.
Free Women’s Car Care Clinics
Thank you to all the ladies who participated in our complimentary clinics. We learned how to recognize problems, went over some great maintenance tips and had a lot of fun, too. Since everyone had such a good time, we’ll be holding more Women’s Car Care Clinics in the future. Check back here for upcoming dates.
Local Students Win Waterloo Art Contests
Congrats to Gabrielle, Kayla, Maddy, Brianna, Hillary, Heather, Jeremy, Ryan, Jared, Kelsey, Ben, Sawyer, Caden, Bridget, Joel and Micaela, the winners of the first annual Meyer’s and Waterloo Automotive art contests! They all received prizes, and their art will be on display in our lobbies for the next year. Thanks to all the students, teachers and parents for making the contest such a success.
Blood Drives
Waterloo Automotive are proud to work with the Mississippi Valley Regional Blood Center by holding blood drives throughout the year. Our first blood drive in February 2009 was a huge success. We were thrilled to see so many of our customers stop by, and we were glad we got to show a small measure of our thanks by handing out prizes and holding a drawing for a Garmin GPS.

Sharing Our Appreciation with Our Troops
Waterloo Automotive take part in the Red Cross efforts to support our wounded service members. Each year, we work together with our customers to send holiday cards to recovering military personnel. We hope to participate in other Red Cross events to show our deep gratitude to our troops.
