The Oakville Beaver, Wednesday November 28, 2001 - P 5 BESTWHEELS Q 4 k VI L L E Daughter takes over reins of Glenleven Gail Guimond has seen a lot of changes in the family business since she first joined Glenleven 14 years ago. Glenleven Motors, estab lished in 1961 by G ail's father Eli Faerge, started out as a BP gas station and three car garage. Faerge looked after everything, from pumping gas to repairing and selling vehicles. Over the years, he managed a variety o f fran chises, from Studebaker to Renault, but the Jeep brand proved to be the driving force of the dealership. Forty years later, Glenleven C hrysler has undergone many expansions, yet remains in the original location on Royal Windsor Drive. As Eli celebrates his 70th birthday, his daughter Gail is taking over as D ealer Principal. Along with her husband, Paul, who acts as General Manager, they are committed to keeping the Glenleven legacy alive, and Jeeps will continue to be the lifeblood of the business. Despite the growth of the business, they are committed to m aintaining the small business atmosphere at the dealership. "We like to be on a first name basis with our customers and want them to feel comfortable and relaxed doing business with us." The automotive industry has undergone major changes over the past forty years, including the way peo ple shop for vehicles. Today, many people research the vehicle on the Internet prior to setting foot in a show room. Although the Internet is a valuable source of infor mation, it can't replace the experience of the test drive, or the relationship that devel ops between the customer and dealership staff. Says Guimond, "Our business is based on developing rela tionships with our customers and taking care of their needs over the long term. We owe our success to our longtime customers and the family and friends they refer to us."

"And w e'll be here when they need their next car.". Riziero Vertolli · Oakville Beaver Gail Guimond is taking over as Dealer Principal of Glenleven Motors from her father Eli Faerge, 70. Tips for fuel-efficient winter driving (NC)-Your personal driv ing habits have a big impact on fuel consumption and costs, especially in the winter. Here are five steps you can take to keep your fuel costs down and help the environ ment by reducing greenhouse gas emissions: · Use a block heater to warm your engine for two hours before you start it. Block heaters can improve overall winter fuel economy by as much as 10 percent. · Don't idle your vehicle to warm it up - it's better to drive it. Any more than 30 seconds of idling on winter days simply wastes fuel and increases emissions. · Check your tire pressure regularly, especially after there has been a sharp drop in temperature (more than 15°C). Cold temperatures decrease the air pressure in tires, which adds to the rolling resistance. · If you use a ski rack, it is a good idea to remove it when it is not needed. A ski rack (even an empty one) increases a vehicle's aerodynamic drag, which in turn causes the engine to work harder and consume more fuel. The same applies to roof racks. · Use public transit when ever possible or try ride-shar ing or carpooling. You'll save money on fuel, reduce wear and tear on your vehicle and avoid the stress of driving in bad conditions. Fuel-efficient winter driv ing is safe driving.
