is a nonprofit organization dedicated to assisting children with life-threatening medical challenges.

“Tori’s Angels makes a profound difference in the lives of children and families in Iowa,” said Eric Johnson, president and managing partner at Arnold Motor Supply. “With the support of our valued channel partners, we’re thrilled to have made a meaningful difference for approximately 20 more families in need.”

Tori’s Angels covers all medical and travel expenses not covered by insurance, providing support from acceptance into the program until a child’s 19th birthday. The foundation always is looking for more children to help. Tori’s Angels CEO, Kirby Klinge, encourages Iowa families to reach out to the foundation for more information.

Channel Partners Recognized

Arnold Motor Supply also took the opportunity to recognize outstanding contributions from key channel partners during the event.

The company recognized PPG Industries as Vendor of the Year for PPG’s exceptional partnership and commitment through training, shop certification programs and inventory optimization.

East Penn’s Mark Hoffman, Kevin Irlocker and Ben Clark were named Reps of the Year for their customer-loyalty programs and field support.

Arnold Motor presented the Agency Partner of the Year award to Greg Nevins and Jeff Ridley of N.A. Williams, acknowledging their substantial contributions during product changeovers, fieldwork and wrap-around program support.

“Arnold Motor Supply and their channel partners remain dedicated to community support, improving the lives of those in need and reinforcing their collaborative efforts for the future,” the company said.

The company would like to recognize the major sponsors that helped to nearly double the donation over last year’s fundraising efforts: Valvoline, BBB Industries, 3M, Delphi, Dorman Products, Dayton Parts, East Penn, First Brands Group, Growmark, Motorcar Parts of America, Akzo Nobel, AP Emissions, Denso, Gates Corp., Northland Oil, Mevotech, Bosch, C-Aire Compressors and Highline Warren.

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.

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
