Local Auto Shop Offers Free Oil Changes for Food Donations
 
ASHEBORO, NC (Oct. 20, 2025) — Thomas Tire & Automotive, a family-owned business serving North Carolina for over 40 years, is launching its 14th annual Food For Oil Campaign to support local food banks. Throughout November, customers who donate 25 non-perishable food items at any Thomas Tire & Automotive location will receive a free Premium Oil Change valued at $39.99. Those who do not need an immediate oil change will receive a gift card of equal value for future use.

Since its inception, the Food For Oil campaign has donated over 200,000 food items to local pantries, helping support families in need during the holiday season.

“Food for Oil is something our whole team stands behind. We’ve seen the impact it makes for families, especially during the holidays. Our staff and customers are part of this community, and we’re proud to give back,” said Eric Arnold, General Manager. 

This year, donations will support several organizations, including the Guilford County Reentry Center, West End Ministries (High Point, NC), The Salvation Army of Asheboro, The Little Portion Food Pantry (Burlington, NC), Community Outreach of Archdale Trinity, The Blessing Pantry at Randleman First Wesleyan Church, and Pastor’s Pantry at New Covenant (Aberdeen, NC).

With 8 locations across Greensboro, High Point, Burlington, Archdale, Asheboro, Randleman, and Aberdeen, Thomas Tire & Automotive continues its mission to change the way people perceive the automotive industry. Community members are encouraged to participate in this year’s Food for Oil campaign by donating at their nearest Thomas Tire & Automotive location.
