If you’re like me, some of your earliest exposure to classical music was during Saturday morning cartoons.

I especially remember classic Looney Tunes episodes with Bugs Bunny: The Rabbit of Seville, for instance, or What’s Opera, Doc? (where Elmer Fudd sings “Kill the Wabbit” to Richard Wagner’s Ride of the Valkyries).

Just hearing a few notes from these classics brings back fun childhood memories. I’ll bet that it does for many of you as well.

Now, you can relive those memories with a few of your friends from Lowell’s.

For two nights under the stars each August, Picnic with the Pops features our own Lexington Philharmonic with a special guest artist at Keeneland’s Meadow at Keene Barn.

This year’s special guest? None other than Bugs Bunny in a critically-acclaimed show that combines classic “Looney Tunes” cartoons with live music from the Philharmonic.

This year’s Picnic featuring Bugs will be on Friday, August 16th and Saturday, August 17th. Find out all of the details about Picnic with the Pops here. It should be a great show.

And the best part?

Lowell’s is giving 4 lucky customers reserved seats for Lexington’s favorite summer event. Lowell’s will host you and your guest at our catered picnic table on the night of your choice.

Here’s how easy it is to enter: Just send an email to (pwp {at} lowells {dot} us) telling us you’d like join us. That’s it! We’ll draw for winners and contact all entrants on August 6th.

(Full disclosure: I serve on the Picnic with the Pops Commission. I am very biased. It will be a blast.)

The Lowell’s family is growing!

We are thrilled to announce the return of a familiar face to Lowell’s.

Tracy Briggs, a long-time technician for Lowell’s and for Lexus of Lexington, returned to Lowell’s just yesterday!

We think Tracy will make a terrific addition to our already-terrific crew, and will help Lowell’s be even better and faster!

Please join us in welcoming Tracy back to Lowell’s!

While we were closed for the last week of 2011, we began to redecorate our lobby for 2012.

We unintentionally chose a color-shifting paint: it was supposed to be a neutral beige color, but in different lights, it can look gold, greenish, or peach.

In any case, the result – we hope – is a lighter, brighter, and more pleasant place to visit and to wait in.

In coming months, we’ll continue to update the decor at Lowell’s.

Please drop in and let us know what you think! (Or make an appointment online!)

If you’d rather not fight the crowds in search of a good deal on Black Friday, why not get great deals at Lowell’s this year instead?

Be sure to reserve your slot for this Friday by calling Lowell’s at 233-1173 or by making your appointment online today.  We can’t wait to see you!

UPDATE: Because so many customers are traveling this weekend, we’re extending our Black Friday deals to “Cyber Monday” – Monday, November 28th – as well. 

Facing a very busy summer season, we knew we’d need additional help working on vehicles at Lowell’s. And it was important for us to find an employee who’d help us build upon our award-winning culture.

So we had each potential technician interview with a group of Lowell’s employees to ensure that they would enhance how we do things here.

After that process, we are pleased to (belatedly) welcome Mitch Payton to the Lowell’s team.  Mitch joined us on April 1st.

Mitch is an accomplished dart player – He played professionally for about 5 years!  He also has twelve years of combined experience at Green’s Toyota in Lexington and Toyota South in Richmond.

But we won’t hold that against him.

All kidding aside, Mitch is a valuable addition to Lowell’s.  In addition to providing us with even deeper Toyota experience and expertise, Mitch is thorough and conscientious – qualities we hold dear here at Lowell’s.

We are very happy to add Mitch to our roster of stellar Lowell’s employees.

After nearly four years with Lowell’s in Lexington, David Bullard – one of our highly-skilled technicians – is returning to his hometown shop in Florence, Kentucky. While we are sad to see David leave, we really appreciate his contributions here over the past four years.

We’d love for you to help us say goodbye to David. This Friday, July 30th at noon, we’ll be having a pizza party at the shop, and we’re inviting our friends and customers to join us. We’ll be bringing in lots of Mellow Mushroom pizza for you (Kosmic Karma is David’s favorite), and – as always – you can get 5-cent Cokes from our machine.

Please join us as we bid farewell to one of our own.

We hope to see you this Friday,
Rob, Suzanne, and your Friends at Lowell’s
