Automatic TLC and friends gathered at The Big "E"  to celebrate Connecticut Day!

There's no better place to enjoy the sights, sounds and taste tempting aromas of the fall season than at The Big E, New England's Autumn Tradition and the largest fair in the northeast. At this year's event Automatic TLC sponsored Miss Connecticut who rode in the Connecticut Day Parade in our historic Model T Oil Truck. Our Model T truck is a real crowd pleaser made even more popular with Miss Connecticut as our guest of honor!

A great day was had by all!

Automatic TLC on the HomeFront

Recently employees from Automatic TLC teamed up with local volunteers to participate in an AmeriCares HomeFront project. A designated home in Hartford, Connecticut received much needed repairs and improvements from the team of volunteers. Joining our crew that day was Norm Abram from the PBS television program "The New Yankee Workshop" and Richard Trethewey as seen on televisions "This Old House". Our crew provided the equipment and the manpower to replace an aging and inefficient heating system and install a safe, clean and efficient unit. Other members of our team helped install new kitchen fixtures, paint the interior walls and repair the entry stairs-all in one day!

For 5 years HOP and several of its local divisions have sponsored both the materials and the people for this community based home repair day. Volunteers have the opportunity to help those in our community that are physically or financially unable to repair their homes. All of us look forward to "rolling up our sleeves" each year for the annual HomeFront Day as much as the homeowners do.
