February 5th, 2012 — Announcements, Articles
The film “Car Men” is scheduled to debut on the grandest stage of them all…as the lead-in to the 2012 Superbowl on NBC! This is following the success of its U.S. theatrical premiere and its television ratings smash.
The worldwide television premiere of the film “Car Men” was on December 18 and the ratings were stunningly huge, especially for a documentary about a used car dealership.
Shown on NBC affiliate WXII, “Car Men” delivered a household rating of a 1.9 – 1st in the time period with all the major stations.
Even more impressive: The documentary had an undesirable infomercial lead in and had tough competition on another network from an NFL pre-game show. Expectations were high that the film would perform strong, but not like this.
Because of those ratings, Winston Salem NBC affiliate WXII 12 offered the makers of “Car Men” the opportunity to be what is potentially going to be the lead-in for the most watched television program of the year…Superbowl XLVI.
“Car Men” reveals an in-depth look at the Myers men, Frank and Tracy. While Tracy Myers may play outrageous on television to sell cars – this best-selling author, nationally-recognized entrepreneur, and devoted family man is dead serious when it comes to building a business he, his family and his city can be proud of.
“In the car business, Tracy Myers is who everybody wants to be” said auto industry pro Bruce Roffey. “When you watch Car Men, you’ll find out why.”
“My dad and I are honored and humbled that this film was made. It’s an amazing legacy, not only for our family but also for the city of Winston-Salem,” said Tracy Myers, one of the films stars. Myers continued by saying, “I was amazed at the response we got at the red carpet premiere and was shocked at the ratings it delivered when it debuted on tv. But when I found out that the film was being shown before the Superbowl, I couldn’t believe it. I’m still in shock.”
The film “Car Men” will be shown Sunday morning, February 5th 2012 at 11:30am on Winston Salem, NC NBC affiliate WXII 12.

About “Car Men” – The Movie
He’s gone on TV dressed up as a giant pickle. Nowadays, you’ll see him most often sporting a giant red, white and blue Uncle Sam hat. Tracy Myers may play outrageous to sell cars – but this best-selling author, nationally-recognized entrepreneur, and devoted family man is dead serious when it comes to building a business he, his family and his city can be proud of.
“Car Men” details the touching and occasionally hilarious story of how the Myers men created a car business that’s known all across America for its successful out-of-the-box thinking – not to mention its off-kilter TV commercials, featuring such quirky characters as Uncle Frank and Chainsaw Charlie.
As one auto pro says, “In the car business, Tracy Myers is who everybody wants to be.” Watch “Car Men” and you’ll find out why.

Tax time can mean a much-needed cash “bonus” for many people. But for some people, like business owners, it can mean the opposite. Many business owners feel the pinch around tax time because in good times or bad Uncle Sam always gets his piece of the pie.
Some local business owners look for creative, ethical ways to deal with tax time trauma. Local Car Dealer Tracy Myers, from Frank Myers Auto Maxx is one of the most innovative when it comes to finding solutions that benefit his customers at the same time. Tax time is no different.
“It’s tax time and my accountant said I need to reduce my tax burden. So I’m going to OVER PAY for your old car so I can stock my lot with traded in vehicles,” said Myers, owner of Frank Myers Auto Maxx.
“Here’s my thought: I’d rather give money to my customers than give it to the government,” exclaimed Myers. “So, if I over pay for trades now, I may lower my tax burden in the future.”
Myers continues, “Here’s the deal, I’m willing to pay you up to $4,297.00 more for your old car than it’s actually worth, no matter where you bought the car, just to satisfy my accountant.”
“I’m calling this my EZ Trade Tax Time Rewards Program. You’ve probably filed an EZ form in the past to get your cash back faster. Well, I’m using my EZ Trade Program to make it simple for you to trade in the old car you hate driving and get a tax time reward of up to $4,297.00 more than it’s actually worth.”
The EZ Way To Get A Fatter Return
“Plus, to help you maximize the tax season, I’ll double your tax refund up to $2,500.00, so you can own the nicer, newer car you’ve always wanted today,” explained Myers.
Myers told us that he oesn’t care where or when you bought the car you trade in. He also doesn’t care whether it’s a lease or a loan or how many payments you have left. He wants to buy as many vehicles as he can from local residents and he is willing to pay more than the vehicle is actually worth because of the effect it could have on his tax liability down the road.
Customers will get up to $4,297.00 more for any car they bring in, which can make your tax time returns much greater than they would be otherwise. Myers asks, “What will you buy with all the extra money?”
Tax Time Makes Credit Approval EZ(er)
“My Everybody Rides Program is perfect if you have had credit problems in the past,” said Myers. “Using my program and your refund together could actually make it easier for you to get approved this month!”
Myers has a special process to work with customers who have credit challenges. They work with many lenders who specialize in approving customers with below average credit scores and have specially trained staff members who know how to put the best deal together in these more challenging financial situations. This means that Frank Myers Auto Maxx is able to help some people who have been turned down at other dealerships actually drive the nicer, newer car they need and want.
“I’ve been refining my Everybody Rides program for quite some time now,” revealed Myers. “I can’t say it’s perfect yet, but it’s very strong. Our goal this month is 100% approval and we plan on coming as close to that goal as we possibly can.”
“We help a lot of people with tough credit situations every single month. If there’s a way to get you approved, we’re going to go to the ends of the earth to find it. We don’t give up here. It’s our mission to help people drive a nicer, newer car. I don’t believe anyone should drive a car they hate,” Myers boasted.
Don’t Be Dependent On Deductions
Myers revealed to us that his customers don’t have to be dependent on deductions. Customers who take advantage of his EZ Trade Tax Time Rewards Program will get their tax time reward directly from the dealership even before most people see a dollar from the government.
Frank Myers Auto Maxx will pay up to $4,297.00 more for your old car than it’s actually worth:
No matter where you bought the car
No matter how many miles it has on it
No matter if it’s a lease or a loan
No matter what condition it’s in
Overpaying for trade-ins will create additional expense for the dealership thereby reducing their future tax liability, while at the same time helping buyers get a great deal on a nicer, newer car today.
Plus, Frank Myers Auto Maxx will be doubling tax refunds up to $1,000.00, which can be applied as a down payment on a nicer, newer car. This is perfect for anyone who wants to lower their monthly payments and can also help credit challenged customers get approved when they previously could not get they financing they need to drive a nicer, newer car.
There Is A Tax Time Reward Deadline
The deadline for taking advantage of the EZ Trade Tax Time Rewards Program and getting more for your trade and the expanded refund is February 29th or when his accountant decides enough is enough, whichever comes first.

Uncle Frank Sez: ”No need to pinch yourself because this deal is real. Requires bank approval and vehicle purchase at listed rice. On select models. Some negative equity may need to be financed.”

How To Score A Deal: Buy A Car In January
Many people believe that the end of the year is the best time to buy a car. Car dealers are trying to meet year-end quotas and get rid of leftover inventory to make room for newer models. While this is sometimes true, one local car dealer is vowing to buck the trend.
“Everybody thinks the best time to buy a car is at the end of the year so that makes January a notoriously slow month for me. That’s a huge problem for me. What happens in January sets the pace and tone for the rest of the year and I want a big kick-off for the New Year to create momentum for the coming months,” explains Tracy Myers, owner of Frank Myers Auto Maxx.
Myers isn’t going to let buying trends dictate the success of his business or how he starts the year. Myers is going to do whatever it takes to break the trend and start 2012 off with a bang. So he’s created an innovative plan for Winston Salem residents to save big at the beginning of the year and not have to until the end of the year to drive the nicer, newer car they really want.
“If you didn’t get a nicer, newer car for the holidays and don’t want to wait a whole year to get a great deal, I have good news,” says Myers.
“I’ve created my Big Kick-Off Bonus Event, making January one of the best times of the year to buy a car. To get the big kick-off I’m looking for we need to sell 115 cars this month and we’re pulling out ALL the stops to make it happen.”
Kick Off The New Year In A Nicer, Newer Car
During the Big Kick-Off Bonus Event, Frank Myers Auto Maxx will pay up to $4,397 more than your old cars appraised value regardless of what it’s actually worth. It doesn’t matter how old your car is, or what kind of condition it’s in or how many miles are on it. During this special sale, Frank Myers Auto Maxx will take your car in on trade and give you up to $4,397 more than its worth.
No matter what you car is worth you will get at least $4,397.00 more than its appraised value and higher quality cars can be worth much, much more.
Or, if you don’t have a car to trade, you can choose a Big Kick-Off After Christmas Bonus and receive up to $2,500 to help pay off the bills from the holidays!
“This month, we’re not discriminating against ugly, rusted or busted vehicles. As I said, we’re pulling out all the stops to make January an amazing time to buy a car, so we’ll take any car you’ve got and we’ll give you up to $4,397 more than its worth. Age doesn’t matter. Condition doesn’t matter. Mileage doesn’t matter. Whatever you’re driving, I want. I just need to create momentum for my staff,” raves Myers.
Score Big Even A Low Credit Score
In addition to giving up to $4,397 more than any old trade is worth, Frank Myers Auto Maxx management have promised that credit scores will not be the only factor considered when making a decision on who drives away in a nicer, new car this month.

December 3rd, 2011 — Articles, Used Cars
(This article first appeared in Used Car News and was written by Jeffrey Bellant)
National Quality Dealer Tracy Myers and his Frank Myers Auto Maxx dealership in North Carolina are the focus of an Emmy Award winning film team’s latest project.
“Car Men“, which had a black- tie premiere Nov. 17, tells the story of the dealership, which began as a general store 80 years ago.
A wider release is expected on Dec. 2, followed by a DVD release early next year, Myers said.
Myers is well versed in different types of media. In addition to writing the dealership’s blog, he has written newspaper articles and appeared on national television outlets, like Fox Business News and The History Channel, representing car dealers.
In late 2010, Myers appeared on motivational guru Brian Tracy’s syndicated television show.
He discussed the used- car business and the dealership’s history.
A producer from the show was so intrigued by the segment, he asked Myers if he would be interested in being part of a documentary about the business.
“ I didn’t think anything of it,” Myers said.
But the producer visited the lot, learned about how the dealership operates and convinced Myers take part in the documentary.
The production team came down a few months ago, interviewed family members and filmed for several days, Myers said.
Nick Nanton, the show’s producer, also helped make “Jacob’s Turn,” an Emmy Award-winning short film about a child with Down’s Syndrome playing on a teeball team.
Myers said once he’d heard that the production team won an Emmy, he figured they wouldn’t be interested in coming down to shoot the film about the dealership.
But they were still excited. “My wife and I are the only two people who have watched the finished project ( prior to the premiere),” Myers said. “ I know I’m partial, but I think it’s pretty amazing.
“ It’s an awesome legacy piece for my kids and grandkids. And for the industry, which I love. It shows the good side of what we do and the community side. It shows the heart and the hours that we put into it.”
Myers said he had an earlier offer from a different company to do a reality show, but it fell through.
The problem was how they wanted to portray the dealership and family.
“At every turn, they wanted to make us look like idiots,” Myers said.
He told them he wanted something positive, inspirational and motivational.
“ I have no problem with being funny and working our quirks into it, because we are quirky, ” Myers said. “ But you’re not going to make us look like a bunch of rednecks.”
Myers feels the documentary got it right.
“It’s a touching story about family, small business and the American dream.”

About “Car Men” – The Movie
He’s gone on TV dressed up as a giant pickle. Nowadays, you’ll see him most often sporting a giant red, white and blue Uncle Sam hat. Tracy Myers may play outrageous to sell cars – but this best-selling author, nationally-recognized entrepreneur, and devoted family man is dead serious when it comes to building a business he, his family and his city can be proud of.
“Car Men” details the touching and occasionally hilarious story of how the Myers men created a car business that’s known all across America for its successful out-of-the-box thinking – not to mention its off-kilter TV commercials, featuring such quirky characters as Uncle Frank and Chainsaw Charlie.
As one auto pro says, “In the car business, Tracy Myers is who everybody wants to be.” Watch “Car Men” and you’ll find out why.

November 28th, 2011 — Articles, Community Involvement
Ho ho ho, the holidays are here! If you’re like me, you’re wondering, “How did this happen?” 2011 flew by faster than I thought possible.
Each year I’m amazed at how quickly the year goes by. One minute I’m hearing back to school ads on the radio and then before I know it, Santa greets me at the grocery store, ringing that little bell in my ear.
Ok enough with the shock . . . there’s really nothing to do at this point but to embrace it! Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanza, New Years – they’re approaching and it’s time to step up and make this a season one to remember for many years to come.
Now I’m getting to my point. What I know for sure (and now I sound like Oprah) is that the term “Give to Get” really is true. Whenever I give of my time and talents, I reap a harvest of contentment and joy. What I also know is that without planning on my part, the chance of actually doing something for someone else decreases with each holiday party and activity.
Now is the time to make a plan to give. I promise that by giving to others this season, we will all grab our own pocket of joy amidst the craziness of the season!
Why not start small by giving to one of the organizations I’ve listed below? After that, you may feel so good that you want to do more. Find a place to volunteer your time – at a school, a shelter, a hospital, etc. The opportunities for giving are endless and no effort is too small. Ok, time to start . . .
Check out these great places to GIVE TO GET this holiday season:
HomesForOurTroops.org (support our troops)
Operationsmile.org – (help those with a cleft palate)
Cradlestocrayons.org – (support homeless and low income children)
ASPCA.org – American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (support animals)
MOWAA.org – Meals on Wheels (support senior citizens)
Foodforthepeople.org – (support poor in the world)
www.worldvision.org -World Vision (support underprivileged everywhere)
www.sharedhope.org – Shared Hope International
(support victims of human trafficking)
Happy Thanksgiving, Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanza and Happy New Year to all of you! May this be the year we all GIVE TO GET!
