The ACU Complete Auto Network – the Hassle-Free Way to Buy Your Next Car on 08 Nov 2011 4:49 PM

We recently launched our Complete Auto Network to give you an easy auto-buying experience and take the hassle out of purchasing a car at a dealership.

Pricing. For many of us, haggling with sales people to get the best deal isn’t fun. Alliance knows you want to get the best price without the hassle. That’s why the dealerships that partnered with Alliance through CAN offer guaranteed pricing: 

  • 1% below the invoice price for most new vehicles
  • Mid-Kelly Blue Book pricing for most used vehicles in inventory
Plus, your savings don’t end after purchasing your vehicle – through CAN, you receive 10% off future parts and service.

Experience. Great, we covered pricing. But what about the car-buying experience? Rest assured, you’ll be treated like a VIP at all CAN partners as they agree to honor our customer service standards that include: 

  • A no-pressure, no-haggle auto buying experience
  • Provide upfront information about the vehicle (manufacturer invoice for new cars and complimentary Car Fax reports for used cars)
  • An authorized contact person who you can contact directly
Our goal at Alliance is for you to enjoy your car-buying experience almost as much as you enjoy your car. So look no further than our brand new Complete Auto Network – giving you VIP treatment and straight-forward pricing. Click here to check it out!

There is such a thing as a free lunch! on 27 Sep 2011 12:16 PM
The Alliance Make a Difference Team surprised Sunnyvale restaurant patrons with a free lunch


Click the video to play.


Alliance made a difference in the lives of some lucky Silicon Valley area residents by providing free lunches at a Sunnyvale restaurant recently.  At this
 Make a Difference event, we paid for lunch for many surprised patrons of the Madhuban Indian Cuisine restaurant on Friday, September 16. 

 

Our Make a Difference team designated a handful of tables at the restaurant as “free lunch” tables, unbeknownst to customers. Each table had a small sign which read: “What if someone did something nice for you today, just because?”

When it was time to present the "check", one of our Make a Difference team members told the restaurant-goers that lunch was on the credit union.  We wanted to thank them for supporting a local business and there 
were no strings attached—everyone who sat at our designated tables received a free lunch. 


Thirty-five surprised people were treated to lunch that day.  Some were excited, others didn't believe us. How would you react if someone told you your lunch was free?  

Have you been the recipient of a random act of kindness?  Tell us about it!  Or do you enjoy making a difference in the lives of others?  We'd like to hear about it - please add a comment below.
