Business is first and only social impact auto repair shop in the U.S. and has donated over $130,000 in repairs and gifted cars
Colorado Springs, Colo.—Adam & Son, the first and only social impact auto repair shop in the United States, has announced that its founder, Dan Adam, has been named the recipient of the 2023 Vistage Impact Award for Colorado.
The Impact Award recognizes the development and achievement of trailblazing leaders. From business growth to leadership development, dedicated leaders reach significant heights within their first years as Vistage members, with lasting impact on their company, peers and community.
Vistage is the world’s largest executive coaching organization for small and midsize businesses. For more than 65 years, Vistage has been helping CEOs, business owners and key executives solve their greatest challenges through confidential peer groups and one-to-one executive coaching sessions.
“Dan Adam exemplifies the heart of what the Vistage Impact Award is all about as he has displayed remarkable growth as a leader and has displayed powerful impact in the community by reimagining the auto repair industry through the creation of a new social impact model which helps those in the community who can’t afford to fix their cars, through his social impact programs including the critical Stranded Motorist Fund,” said Vistage Chair Randy Welsch. “Since 2020, Dan and his team’s efforts have donated over $130,0000 in repairs and gifted cars to dozens of residents within greater Colorado Springs. Our entire organization is proud of Dan’s work, and we look forward to watching his efforts grow in both Colorado Springs and across the nation.”
“I am incredibly honored to receive this award,” said Dan Adam. “This recognition is a testament to the hard work conducted each day by our team to improve people’s lives across Colorado Springs. It is my hope our model of community support will be replicated by many auto repair shops across the nation. Thank you to the entire Vistage organization for this award and I am determined to honor this distinction by increasing our giving and impact on our city and the auto marketplace for years to come.”
Adam & Son is the first social impact full-service auto repair shop in the United States. Founded in 1999, the company was established to create a customer service experience and community benefit, which has grown to be unlike any auto repair shops in Southern Colorado and the nation. Adam & Son provides traditional maintenance and repairs for all makes and models of automobiles. The company values a positive culture, meaningful inclusion, and superior customer service.
Adam & Son operates three social impact programs to support its community: the Trifecta program where clubs and organizations can sell oil change packages and keep 80 percent of the proceeds. Also, it operates its Pay-It-Forward program, for its guests who come into its shops with a coupon and choose to “pay it forward,” the company will match that amount in a donation to their nonprofit of choice.
The Adam & Son flagship program, the Stranded Motorist Fund, pays for repairs to vehicles and in some cases provides free used cars to recipients who demonstrate financial need as well as a desire to be self-sufficient.
