A Tucson car dealer is reaching out to help military men and women deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan.
This morning Hailey Peck picked up her car at Jim Click Nissan.
She's glad to be back on the road again. Last month her car quit running outside her church.
Peck says she had to leave it parked there for months. She says, "We didn't really have the money to repair the car yet. We just needed a few extra paychecks."
This mother of two says money's been tight since her husband got deployed to Afghanistan 22 months ago.
Enter Click Nissan. Click car dealerships have a program to help deployed military with routine car repairs.
Owner Jim Click says, "If you're defending our country, we want to take care of your car. We'll do the lube, oil, filter, any of the regularly scheduled maintenance for free."
In Peck's case, the dealership fixed everything. It did roughly $2,500 worth of work for free.
Scott Jones, the dealership's service manager, says, "We replaced the radiator. Because of the overheating, it had damaged the catalytic converter. So we went ahead and replaced the catalytic converter."
Arizona National Guard Sergeant Aaron Peck is expected to return from Afghanistan next month. Now his wife says he'll have a dependable car to drive to work.
Peck tells Click, "It was such a blessing. I mean, thank you guys so much."
Click tells her, "We sure appreciate what he's doing. God bless him. And God bless your family."
Click dealerships have offered free routine maintenance to deployed military since 2003.
For more information, you can contact any Click dealership.
Jim Click is a Tucson institution. Nice going, guys!!!
God love you, Jim Click
Damn, good people are hard to find. These folks are great.
I’m a 60 yo man, Jim Click .. and I feel tears wellin’ up .... God bless you.
To Jim Click: God bless you, sir! You have the gratitude and respect of this Marine, and I pray that your generosity will be rewarded in this life as well as the next. Semper Fidelis...
Are these guys related to Tuttle Click dealerships in Southern California. My daughter is buying a car next month and if they are, I’m marching her into this dealership.
Good for Jim. What a nice thing to do.
Which is how the first dealership in Tucson got started.
Stories like this give me hope. Thank you, SandRat.
$2,500 worth of work for free.
That is one hell of a military discount!
Kudos to him!
I do believe so.
He’s also a big Boy Scout Supporter.
Is there a AZ ping list?
If so, this should be a ping and shout out to Jim Clicks dealership if anyone is interested in a new or used car.

Now "IF" you want to see a car dealer that is the opposite of this guy, google "Will Nix Ford". When I owned a T-Bird, I had my car serviced there a few times.
That is a plus. I managed Life Scout before my troop folded.
The nearest troop was 15 miles away and I was in high school and sorta lost interest in it.
I wish I had not.
I’d like to have this dealer work on my cars....a man of integrity!
Holmes Tuttle/Click....all the same family.
I know the Clicks personally and this is no gimick he is an awsome conservative self made man!
