Brake Team Starts Brake Safety Campaign with Free Brake Lights

Online, September 15, 2009 (Newswire.com) - Portland, OR: Brake Team Portland is giving free brake light replacements for all privately-owned vehicles in the Portland and Vancouver metropolitan area until the end of the year. The Brake Brothers, owners of Brake Team, are embarking on a brake safety educational campaign at all local Brake Team locations.

According to Pat Walby, president of Brake Team, "Brake Team is very concerned about the safety of children. With school newly started, it is vital that people handle any brake issues on their cars to keep our children safe. Many people forget to replace their brake lights. We are replacing the brake lights for everyone at no charge to commemorate the need for brake safety."

"It is also disheartening to see so many people get pulled over just because their brake lights are out. We would like to be able to save people the hassle while, of course, keeping them safe," he said.

There are five Brake Team franchises in the greater Portland metropolitan area: in Tigard, Aloha, Gresham, Vancouver, and SE 82nd Avenue in Portland.

"We want to make a positive mark in our community by finding ways to improve the quality of life here. We will continue to find creative activities, like implementing brake safety awareness, to fulfill that objective," stated Brake Team vice president Phil Walby.

Brake Team recently reopened under new management with Pat and Phil, the Brake Brothers. The Brake Brothers have generated a reputation of high customer service and a focus on customer education for nearly 20 years. They were voted the Number One Best Brake Shop in San Diego and awarded the Total Excellence in Management Award by Ken Blanchard, author of the One Minute Manager.

The Brake Brothers achieved the favorite brake shop designation with a 99.5 percent approval rating. Their companies have repaired nearly one million vehicles.
