Customer Appreciation Event

Palmer Auto Service Celebrates 16 Years with Community Appreciation Event

Palmer Auto Service is inviting the community to come together for a celebration filled with fun, food, and family at our 16th Anniversary Customer Appreciation Event on Saturday, October 11, from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM.

The event will take place at our shop, located at 222 S. Main St. in Chelsea, and is free for everyone to attend.

Visitors can look forward to a lively morning that combines the best of small-town spirit with automotive fun. A favorite treat among customers—fresh donuts and apple cider—will be served alongside additional refreshments. There will be exciting prizes and giveaways, live vehicle maintenance demonstrations, and a select showcase of customer cars to admire.

One of the most anticipated attractions is the WRCS Remote Control Race Track, which promises plenty of action for both kids and adults. Known for creating a family-friendly environment, WRCS puts on a fantastic race program where everyone can get caught up in the excitement—whether they’re racing, cheering, or just soaking in the atmosphere.

“We’re proud to be celebrating 16 years of serving the Chelsea community,” said Palmer Auto Service owner, Bob Mock. “This event is our way of saying thank you to our loyal customers and neighbors who have supported us over the years.”

The Customer Appreciation Event is open to all, so families, friends, and neighbors are encouraged to stop by, enjoy the festivities, and celebrate with the Palmer Auto Service team.

We hope to see you there!

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!
