AutoRewards = Savings!

How does the AutoRewards program save our customers money?

Recently, a local customer lost his keys during a preseason Packers football game in Green Bay. The staff at Lambeau Field noticed the Baum AutoRewards tag, dropped the keys off at FedEx, and within a couple of days our customer was able to pick them up at the dealership. This eliminated the need to purchase a new key fob and ultimately saved our customer $200. Saving money = happy customers!

Thank you to the staff at Lambeau field for returning the keys so quickly!
