On behalf of German Auto Service, I would like to invite you to our 16th annual open house and car show. The event will take place on Saturday August 23th, 2025, from 10:00am to 2:00pm at our Grand Rapids facility.
We have partnered with the charity Pleasant Hearts Pet Food Pantry to create a raffle that will take place at the open house. All attendees will have the option of purchasing tickets to participate. The winners of the raffle can choose from a variety of fabulous prizes donated by GAS.* All proceeds will benefit Pleasant Hearts. Check them out in advance at pleasantheartspetfoodpantry.org
As with past events, we will also host a car show for anyone who would like to participate.
This year’s event will be catered by our friends at Garage Bar! Complimentary BBQ and drinks will be provided to all show attendees (Sorry, but there will be no vegetarian option this year).
