The promotional plan includes the following programs: 

• Serpentine system promotion for automotive car and light truck professional service centers. The program is designed to stimulate higher ticket sales and increase customer satisfaction with a complete and preventive serpentine system repair. Professional service centers will have the opportunity to earn Visa^® prepaid cards for additional component installation. Promotion runs now through July 31, 2016.
• Heavy-duty dealer stock-up promotion for fleets.
