While maintaining high standards of excellence in the automotive business, the Conicelli family also participates in community events.
Conicelli Dealerships Give Cradles to
Crayons' Spring Greening Initiative a Giant-Sized Power
Boost
There's less than one
week remaining for area residents to participate in the Conicelli Auto
Dealerships-Cradles to Crayons' joint Great Green Spring Clean
and Drive
initiative.
The program, which ends Tuesday, April 30, provides an important -- and vitally needed -- opportunity to repurpose children's items that are no longer needed and put them into the hands of low-income and homeless children in our community -- helping to mitigate the acute effects of poverty while keeping the items out of landfills.
Continuing through April 30 -- in support of the joint Great Green Spring Clean and Drive initiative -- the Conicelli Autoplex on Ridge Pike in Conshohocken, which includes Conicelli Toyota Scion, Honda, Nissan and Hyundai, and the Conicelli Toyota Scion dealership on Baltimore Pike in Springfield, will serve as collection points for the donated children's items that have been forgotten, no longer fit, have fallen out of favor, or simply were never used. Dropoff boxes are located at each location.
Further supporting the "Great Green Spring Clean and Drive" program, the Conicelli dealerships are offering an additional incentive for area families to bring the new and nearly new children's items needed by Cradles to Crayons for the area's vulnerable children to their Conshohocken and Springfield locations: an opportunity to test drive one of our new hybrid-, electric- or natural gas-powered cars.
Cradles to Crayons accepts items for children in need, birth through 12, including new and nearly new infants' and children's clothing, socks and underwear, coats, hats, footwear, newborn baby items, baby safety equipment, books, and arts and crafts/school supplies. A more detailed list of needed items (and unacceptable ones, too) is available at the Cradles to Crayons website. Â
The Conicelli Autoplex in Conshohocken is located at 1200 Ridge Pike, in Springfield at 860 Baltimore Pike.
Cradles to Crayons is a Montgomery County-based nonprofit that provides children, 0-12, in homeless or low-income situations in the Greater Philadelphia region, with essential items to alleviate the acute effects of poverty; supplying these items year-round without charge by connecting communities that have with communities that need -- concurrently fostering social change by providing meaningful, tangible volunteer experiences for adults and children.

Just in Time for Spring Cleaning
A timely -- and vitally needed -- effort by local nonprofit Cradles to Crayons to collect new and nearly new clothing and other items for area children living in low-income and homeless situations is getting a giant-size power boost from the Conicelli dealerships in Conshohocken and Springfield.
Beginning Monday, April 15, and continuing through May 1 -- in support of the joint Great Green Spring Clean and Drive initiative -- Conicelli Autoplex, which includes Conicelli Toyota Scion, Honda, Nissan and Hyundai on Ridge Pike in Conshohocken, and at the Conicelli Toyota Scion dealership on Baltimore Pike in Springfield, will serve as collection points for the donated children's items that have been forgotten, no longer fit, have fallen out of favor, or simply were never used. Dropoff boxes will be located at each location.
"Not
only do we want to make it as easy and convenient as possible for local
families to drop off the items they have rooted out from drawers,
closets and other convenient 'hiding places,'" said Lori Hammond,
Internet director/partner of the Conicelli dealerships, "but we want to
offer an additional incentive for them to bring these items to our
locations: an opportunity to test drive one of our new hybrid-,
electric- or natural gas-powered cars.
"We will also be having a drawing for some great prizes on Saturday, April 20, at the Conicelli Toyota service building at our Conshohocken location and our Toyota Scion new car showroom in our Springfield, Delaware County location," she added, "where our hybrid vehicle display and collection boxes will be located for the big drop-off day event. The prizes will include two complimentary emissions inspections as well as a $100 Whole Foods gift card.
"It's a natural tie-in," Lori continued, "to the Great Green Spring Clean and Drive message: declutter your home; reduce, repurpose and recycle children's everyday essential items -- well before the end of their useful lives; and keep them out of landfills and reduce our carbon footprint. That all adds up to helping clean the environment," she added, "which is exactly what our line of energy-efficient automobiles is intended to help do!"
Among the most-needed items are:

Conicelli Contributes
$20,000 to Plymouth Township Police Department; donation will help
replace slain Officer Bradley Fox's K-9 partner
We were very honored to have had the opportunity to help the
Plymouth Township Police Department with a donation to help cover the
cost of obtaining and training a new police dog.
On January 15, 2013, members of the Conicelli family presented the department with $10,000 matched by a donation from the Toyota Dealer Match Program for a total of $20,000.
The K-9 officer is intended to take over the duties of Officer Bradley Fox's dog, Nick, who was given to Fox's family after his death in the line of duty in September, 2011.
Currently, there are two narcotics-sniffing dogs in the department and, with Nick's retirement, one explosives-sniffing K-9.
The new dog will be a Belgian Malinois, like Nick, and follow in his footsteps as an explosives expert and patrol dog.

"It will cost approximately $9,000 for the dog himself, and then when you throw in six months' worth of training, equipment and material that's needed, you're talking about a cost to the department that's closer to $50,000," Chief Joseph Lawrence said. "When you talk about man-hours and pay, it's a great expense to get a dog."

2012 Norristown Bicentennial Bike Race Sponsored by Conicelli Autoplex
Victory Brewing Company was a hit
with the crowd, providing a few of their current beer
selections and delicious BBQ sandwiches.
On Saturday, May 19th, 2012, cyclists hit the streets of Norristown for the first ever Norristown Bicentennial Bike Race. The Conicelli street team was out in full force snapping photos and handing out the latest Conicelli swag such as the brand new Mr. Nice Guy frisbees, magnets, Conicelli coffee mugs, key chains and t-shirts.
There
were separate races for different age groups,
women's-only races, and
even a race for kids under 10 years old. With cash prizes and
pride on
the line, racers were pushing their limits and some even ended up crashing but thankfully no
serious injuries took place.

Conicelli also brought out a few brand new
cars of interest for racers and fans to check out, including the all new
Nissan Leaf, Toyota Prius, and Nissan NV Passenger
Van.
Between the excitement of bicycle racing, beautiful
sunny weather, good
people, excellent food and beverage, and the efforts of the
event sponsers, the first-ever Norristown Bicentennial Bike
Race was a
success and will hopefully be back for many years to
come.
They're Not Just Blowing Air: Proper Tire Pressure Saves Money and Increases Safety
Of all the ways to save on gas, keeping your tires properly inflated is easiest to do
Before you start packing the family car for that long-awaited summer trip, think about the single most important way you can offset the very high gasoline prices across the country.
Maintain proper tire pressure. This is by far the easiest way for most drivers to increase their fuel economy. Tires with low pressure will definitely use more gasoline; how much depends on how low they are.
Tires
with pressure that's too high or with uneven pressure may handle in
unexpected ways or lead to an uncomfortable, bumpier
ride.
A modern car's suspension system is a marvel of complex engineering and geometry that allows even economy vehicles to run rings around the top cars of only a couple of decades ago. But the weak spot in that system is, as they say, where the rubber meets the road -- the tires. Tires are the one part of the system that the driver can change easily, or that can be changed inadvertently.
The prevalence of large rims and low profile tires, whether they're for fashion or for handling, means that tires are more susceptible to damage from potholes and other road hazards, and are even more finicky about having proper air pressure to produce the expected handling.
It's worth investing in your own air pressure gauge rather than trusting the one at your gas station; they get knocked around a lot and can't be depended on for accurate readings. Don't scrimp; a good mechanical gauge only costs a few dollars.
Don't "fill by eye" and just guess by how the tire looks; you have to use a tire pressure gauge or you're almost certainly going to be either high or low, and every tire may be differently inflated. If possible, check and fill tires only when cold (air expands when it heats up and that would affect your pressure reading). Remember, underinflated tires can be just as dangerous as overinflated tires.
How do you know what the tire pressure is supposed to be? Always look on the driver's door jamb, sill, or pillar and you'll find the manufacturer's specified tire pressure for your particular vehicle. That's the only number you should use, it's the number that makes the car handle the way the manufacturer intended, and it's the point of best balance between MPG, comfort, safety, and tire wear. Do not go by what's printed on the tire itself: that's the maximum allowable pressure, not the normal pressure that's recommended by the manufacturer.
What if your car has a TPMS (tire pressure monitoring system)? Typically, these systems, mandatory since 2008, are meant to alert you to low pressure before it becomes dangerous, not before it becomes inefficient. Some of these systems don't see a problem until the pressure is more than 5 PSI (pounds per square inch) below normal. While that's immensely helpful, if you're running on tires that are 4 PSI low, you're wasting money and adversely affecting handling.
There is one notable exception: heavy loads. If you're going to be really loaded down or towing a trailer, it may be best for you to inflate the tires to a higher pressure. But this should be done only using guidelines that you will find in your owner's manual. Look for "tire pressure" or "towing" sections of the owner's manual and follow the advice there.

"We have a year-round concern for safety, but with kids out of school and families traveling long distances on trips and vacations, this may be the most important time of the year for overall safety checks, says Jack Monteleone, Service Director for Conicelli Autoplex in Conshohocken, PA. "It always makes sense for you to make safety the first concern for you and your family, and we're here to help you with that, six days a week, at any of our five service centers. You can call during business hours or you can make an appointment on our websites 24 hours a day."
Of all the ways to save on gas, keeping your tires properly inflated is easiest to do
Before you start packing the family car for that long-awaited summer trip, think about the single most important way you can offset the very high gasoline prices across the country.
Maintain proper tire pressure. This is by far the easiest way for most drivers to increase their fuel economy. Tires with low pressure will definitely use more gasoline; how much depends on how low they are.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System indicator |
A modern car's suspension system is a marvel of complex engineering and geometry that allows even economy vehicles to run rings around the top cars of only a couple of decades ago. But the weak spot in that system is, as they say, where the rubber meets the road -- the tires. Tires are the one part of the system that the driver can change easily, or that can be changed inadvertently.
The prevalence of large rims and low profile tires, whether they're for fashion or for handling, means that tires are more susceptible to damage from potholes and other road hazards, and are even more finicky about having proper air pressure to produce the expected handling.
