SPRING 2018 DRIVE & THRIVE: CAR GIVEAWAY - GRADUATION EDITION

February 15, 2018

WHAT COULD BE BETTER THAN HELPING OUR GRADUATING SENIORS GO FAR?

Not much, if you ask us! Elite Auto Experts is teaming up with Cy-Hope, a local non-profit organization dedicated to helping Cy-Fair area youth, for our Drive & Thrive Car Giveaway: Graduation Edition!


This coming May, one lucky CFISD graduating student will win a fully restored Ford Fusion to get on the road to college or start an exciting career.


It's our way of showing that we care about our amazing community. We want to give back, and giving our graduating seniors a hand (or rather, as set of car keys) as they embark on an exciting future is our way of doing just that.


A complete restoration of the giveaway vehicle is underway as we speak! The talented body shop technicians at Elite Auto Experts are working hard to make the car look and drive like new! The vehicle will feature low mileage (so you can go extra-far as you embark on your college education or career!) and the first year of oil changes is on us!
