It was a trip they may never take again together!” “Gail and I would like to say thank you to APA for a great weekend away, we really enjoyed ourselves!” “It was an unforgettable weekend,” said Jan Larson, director of marketing for APA. “What started as a group of strangers on Friday quickly turned into a close-knit group by Sunday, exchanging contact information and sharing stories like lifelong friends. I always encourage our shareholders and TruStar members to take advantage of these promotions. Participation is easy and can have a meaningful impact on employee morale. These events drive engagement, boost sales, and create lasting memories—don’t let your customers miss out on these incredible opportunities!”
APA said it hosts two promotions annually, one in spring and one in fall. Up next is the 2025 Tanks For The Memories Sweepstakes, where ten winners will receive an all-expense-paid trip to drive real tanks at Drive A Tank in Kasota, MN.

Ignition coils can lose spark energy over time, causing poor fuel mileage and reduced performance and if one coil fails, it is likely the others are on track to fail. Blue Streak Ignition Coil Multipacks include a full, matched set of new, better-performing coils, saving time, restoring performance and reducing comebacks. SMP said other popular kits include complete Standard Turbocharger Kits, Oil Filter Housing Kits, and Fuel Injector Multipacks and Blue Streak Blower Motor Resistor Kits, Camshaft and Crankshaft Sensor Kits, Variable Valve Timing (VVT) Service Kits and VVT Solenoid Kits. In the past two years, specific Blue Streak Kits have been awarded the Best New Product of the Year and Best Problem-Solver by the Import Vehicle Community, a community of the Auto Care Association.
New coverage has recently been introduced across many of these categories, according to SMP. Blue Streak GDI High-Pressure Fuel Pump Kits have been released for 3.7 million General Motor vehicles, like the 2019-16 Chevrolet Cruze, 2019-18 Chevrolet Equinox, and 2019-18 GMC Terrain. Standard Oil Filter Housing Kits are new for multiple popular makes and models, including the 2024-19 Jeep Grand Cherokee, 2024-19 RAM 1500, 2024-19 Dodge Durango, 2016-11 Volvo S60, and more. Blue Streak Cam and Crank Sensor Kits have been released for a variety of popular Ford vehicles, and Standard Turbocharger Kits are new for Ford, Volvo, and General Motors vehicles like the 2019-16 Chevrolet Cruze and Buick Encore, SMP said.
Commenting on the expansion, John Herc, vice president of vehicle control marketing at

First, it helps technicians perform a complete repair without having to chase parts from multiple places. Additionally, service writers find it easier to explain one line item on an invoice rather than a list of parts. Whatever their reason, they look to Standard and Blue Streak for complete repair solutions.” The post
