This idea for the Drive & Dine Event was born in response to the devastating impact that COVID-19 had on our neighboring local businesses during the pandemic. Each dealership in the Harnish Auto Family gave away 50 gift cards from random at-risk restaurants and given to clients who took a test drive. The gift cards ran out so fast! So fast, that we launched the 2nd Annual Drive & Dine event in January of 2022 with the same intent. 600 $25 gift cards were purchased from 9 local restaurants in the Puyallup and Everett areas. The gift cards were distributed to customers who took test drives, no purchase necessary.
Mariel at Playa Azul in Puyallup says, "We can attribute 10 large parties directly to the Drive & Dine Event, thank you!"
