Join the Xpress email club

Most people find out an oil change is due from the sticker on the windshield, about two months after they should have looked at it. The club fixes that. Tell us your email, your vehicle and roughly how many miles you drive, and we email you before the next service is due, with the service center nearest you and its hours in the message. Washoe County drivers can add their registration renewal month and get a nudge to come in for the smog check before the DMV deadline.

At a glance

• Seasonal offers twice a year, nothing more
• Email only, no marketing texts, unsubscribe in one click

How joining works

The confirmation step is there on purpose. It keeps anyone from signing you up without your say-so, and it proves to mail providers that you asked for our messages, which keeps the reminders out of the spam folder.

1. Fill in the form above: email, first name, zip, your preferred service center and your vehicle.
2. Check your inbox for a confirmation email and click the button in it. Nothing is sent until you do.
3. Your welcome coupon arrives with the confirmation and shows on the thank-you page.
4. Reminders start from your next recorded visit, or from the last service date you give us.

What we send and how often

A reminder goes out when your oil change is due by date or by miles, with one or two follow-ups if you have not been in. Members in the Reno and Sparks smog area get a reminder before their registration month. In mid-October we send one seasonal note about wipers, batteries and antifreeze, and in mid-May one about A/C and coolant. That is the whole calendar. We cap it at one marketing email a week and never more than six in three months, and if you just had a service we leave you alone for a week except to say thanks.

Every message carries a plain unsubscribe link and a preferences page where you can turn off reminders for one vehicle and keep them for another, change your service center, or delete everything we hold. The phone field on the form is optional, and the separate text-message box stays unchecked unless you check it; even then we do not text until we have a texting program set up and tell you so.

What we keep

Your email, first name, zip, preferred service center, the vehicles you add, the mileage and dates you or the service center record, and the coupons issued to you. Nothing is sold or shared. The privacy policy spells out the retention period and how to delete your record. Members also get My Garage, where the same information shows on one page with your next-due dates.

Join today and the welcome coupon is good at your next visit, which can be this afternoon.
