Win a Weekend Getaway: Cars for Keeps' Summer Travel Story Contest

Back to school season can be tough on everyone. As the summer ends, so do vacations, languid weekends and open schedules. Professionals have to go back to their jobs, moms and dads must swing back into their routines, and we're all left to stare longingly at the vacation photos we've posted on Facebook.

That's why we at Cars for Keeps are offering a free weekend getaway at Grand Haven's Lakeshore Bed & Breakfast. One lucky couple will spend two nights (flexible dates) in the suite of their choice at the Lakeshore mansion, and *gasp* we're even throwing in $100 in cash for spending money - or for babysitter fees.

The Lakeshore Bed & Breakfast sits on one of Lake Michigan's many white sand beaches. Want to see more? Visit the Lakeshore B&B website.

What's the catch? Just tell us a story. Specifically, your favorite summer travel story, either from this year or from years past. Tell us a tale of hilarious misadventure, roadside breakdowns, amazing moose sightings - anything, so long as it's a story about vacation traveling. Write a story as long or short as you'd like (but please keep your epics less than 500 words) - we want to hear it!

How do you enter? Click the image link below, complete the entry form and write your story. (and don't forget to tell your friends!)

Testimonials

Dear Mr. Hopp,

I wanted to thank you for the prompt, courteous, and friendly service provided to my wife and I last week. I didn't know quite what to expect when we pulled in to your shop with the outside pad missing from our right rear brake.

We were pleasantly surprised. You...somehow worked us in, ordered parts, and had us back on our way in less than 2 hours with a very reasonable bill.

What could have been a major disruption of our trip, was reduced to a minor glitch because the efforts of you and your staff.

Thanks again.

From rides home to personal touches...like being called by name when you walk in the door.

The honesty that comes when a price can't be beat, why would anyone leave and go down the street?

How many places stand behind their work 100% of the time, not ever giving excuses or saying "it's fine". [With Cars for Keeps,] it's more like, "I'm sorry, we¹ll fix it right now" and then get it done quick.

No slick sales tricks, just good honest work.

Gentle reminders of work that needs to be done and warnings of little things that might eventually not run.

I cannot say that it is one single thing, but it is the whole package put together, built on honesty and trust. Backed by personality and good work.

Thanks Cars For Keeps!

I am no expert with cars. They could have easily called me up and told me that the car would need an extensive repair, and I would have had to pay it.

I think other shops would have tried to get some money out of me. However, the crew at Cars For Keeps did the honest thing, and did not take "advantage" of me when they easily could have.

My car has been running fine since that event several thousand miles ago. The staff at Cars For Keeps have always provided me with top-notch customer care and quality car repairs, and this is especially helpful for someone who knows so little about cars.

Thanks, Cars For Keeps!
