ADVANCE AUTO PARTS OFFERING STUDENTS A CHANCE TO WIN A ‘FUEL RIDE TO COLLEGE’ AND FREE ‘OFF-TO-CAMPUS’ IN-STORE SERVICES
Incoming college freshmen can enter to win a “fuel ride” – four years of free gasoline – after new national survey reveals gas is a significant financial strain for majority of students
RALEIGH, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Advance Auto Parts (NYSE: AAP), a leading automotive aftermarket parts provider, announced today that it will help advance the education of incoming college freshmen, and ease their financial burden, by awarding 10 “fuel rides” in the form of four years of free gasoline to 10 lucky winners of the “Fuel Ride to College” sweepstakes.*
This press release features multimedia. View the full release here:
link hidden, please login to view Along with providing four years of free gas to 10 college students, Advance Auto Parts is offering free in-store services, including free battery testing and installation, wiper blade installation and check engine light scanning. (Photo: Business Wire)
Advance’s “Fuel Ride to College” sweepstakes arrives right on time as prices at the pump tick up. New data from Atomik Research reveals that 67% of college students cite gasoline for their automobile as being an expense that puts the most financial strain on their wallet**, while 76% of parents of incoming freshmen say they are worried about their student’s ability to afford gas.***
Parents also have significant anxiety regarding the safety of their college students when it comes to the automobiles they operate, according to Atomik Research surveys commissioned by Advance. Nearly two-thirds (63%) of parents of incoming college freshmen feel very or extremely anxious about their student’s safety when it comes to maintaining their cars and about three-fourths (73%) of parents have more anxiety about the car safety of their incoming college freshman than they did during the child’s senior year in high school.
Parents’ anxiety is warranted as more than half of college students admit to having ignored dashboard alerts and notifications, including “check engine” and “low battery warning,” according to the survey.
To help ease this anxiety, Advance and its team of friendly automotive experts are offering students and their parents free “off-to-campus” in-store services at Advance stores nationwide, including free battery testing and installation, wiper blade installation and check engine light scanning.
In addition to awarding 10 four-year “Fuel Rides to College,” Advance will also award 20 additional winners a $100 Advance gift card to stock up on essentials to help keep their automobiles in reliable shape this school year. If interested in learning more, visit

Additional data from the Atomik surveys validate the value of a “Fuel Ride to College:”
One-third (33%) of students cite that a lack of gas money or the cost of gas has deterred them from going to class, the library or study groups, while 60% of incoming college students’ parents express this exact worry: that the cost of gas will deter their child from going to class or education-related activities. Many college students choose between fueling their body and their automobile: more than one-third (36%) say they have compromised or cut back on groceries to fit gas money into their budget. One-quarter (25%) of college students say they’ve had to cut back or compromise school supplies to fuel their automobiles. Advance has also partnered with auto racing driver and television personality Arie Luyendyk Jr. to encourage incoming freshmen to enter for a chance to win a “Fuel Ride to College” and spread the word about Advance’s commitment to providing parents peace of mind via complimentary in-store services.

Dana Incorporated and TruckPro LLC received the 2023 MEMA Aftermarket Suppliers Channel Excellence Award presented by Epicor thanks to their recent collaboration.
The companies worked together in the development of the Dana EZ-ID Tool for Spicer ReadyShaft, which helps heavy-duty parts distributors and their customers to identify the correct replacement Spicer ReadyShaft driveshaft assembly for virtually any common commercial-vehicle application.
Craig Bishop, head of NA Aftermarket Sales for Dana, and Steve Lockridge, vice president of sales & marketing operations at TruckPro, accepted the award on behalf of their respective companies at the 2023 MEMA Aftermarket Suppliers Vision Conference in Rosemont, Illinois.
The annual MEMA Aftermarket Suppliers Channel Excellence Award presented by Epicor recognizes innovation and collaboration between suppliers and channel partners that drive aftermarket growth.
The Dana EZ-ID application addresses a problem commonly faced in heavy-duty service bays: the absence of a product tag, part number or other identification on a worn driveshaft. The Dana solution streamlines the research into approximately 10,000 parts combinations to help the user quickly and easily order the correct replacement unit, speeding the repair and increasing vehicle uptime.
“This is an example of a great idea made better through collaboration among a manufacturer and a valued channel partner,” said Tim Hardin, senior vice president and general manager, Global Auto, Data and Extend Services, Epicor. “Developing the Dana EZ-ID Tool for Spicer ReadyShaft required a significant investment in time, resources and shared insight – and the benefits are impressive for all parties.”
“We are very proud of this achievement as it embodies Dana’s philosophy of ‘People Finding a Better Way,’” Bishop said. “It would not have been possible without the innovative spirit of our team members along with the strategic collaboration with our valued customer, TruckPro. Thank you to MEMA Aftermarket Suppliers and Epicor for recognizing the significance of the EZ-ID visual search application, and the industrywide solution it delivers for customer uptime.”
“The Dana EZ-ID Tool has expanded our capabilities to service complete driveshaft assemblies throughout our network of over 150 TruckPro locations and advanced service shops,” Lockridge explained. “This program is an excellent example of two industry leaders working together to provide a better way to service our customers. We would like to thank MEMA Aftermarket Suppliers and Epicor for this opportunity to acknowledge this collaboration.”
“This award recognizes the achievements in collaboration and innovation between suppliers and their channel partners to drive growth together,” said Paul McCarthy, MEMA Aftermarket Suppliers president. “We give this award to encourage an openness to the behaviors we all know we need to see – innovation and collaboration across the value chain. We congratulate Dana and TruckPro for a great example of that collaboration: bringing real value to the end customer, and utilizing technology and partnering to bring speed, accuracy and efficiency to fulfillment.”
