Customer Appreciation Event

Palmer Auto Service Celebrates 17 Years

2026 Event Update

We want to thank everyone in our community for the continued support of Palmer Auto Service and for making our events so special over the years.

For 2026, we will not be hosting our annual event this year.

While we’re disappointed that we won’t be gathering with everyone in 2026, we are grateful for the friendships, memories, and community support that these events have brought us. We look forward to continuing to serve our Chelsea community and hope to have the opportunity to bring everyone together again in the future.

Thank you for your understanding and, as always, for supporting Palmer Auto Service and our local community.

Recap from the 2024 Hot Rod Halloween Car Show in Chelsea, MI

Palmer Auto Service's Hot Rod Halloween Car Show was a huge success thanks to the wonderful vehicle-owners who came out to showcase their stunning cars and trucks! The event had 68 classic and customized vehicles on display.

After much admiration and tough competition, we’re excited to announce the

top three "People's Choice Award" winners:

First Place: Keith Hume with his stunning 1937 Ford Coupe
Second Place: Bernie Kranz showcasing a classic 1932 Ford 500 Coupe
Third Place: Tom Heath with his beautifully restored 1968 Pontiac Lemans

In celebration of their 15th Anniversary, Palmer Auto Service provided complimentary cider, donuts and popcorn. We'd also like to thank our friends at Jasper Engines & Transmissions and Garage Gurus for sending awesome swag and  to spice up the show!

In addition to the impressive cars on display, the event featured a T-Shirt Exchange in support of Toys for Tots and Teens, bringing the spirit of giving to this year's festivities. 

Most importantly, we would like to thank the community for their support over the past thirteen years, Each passing year has brought a sense of accomplishment, and without our customer's confidence in our services, this would not be possible!
