Walser’s annual food donation drive kicks off tomorrow!
Happening October 13 – 23, Walser locations will collect non-perishable food items to support food shelves in our communities. Grab those extra cans of food in your pantry and drop them at a bin at your local dealership starting tomorrow! Donations will support the following food shelves:
Minnesota locations | Second Harvest Heartland
Walser Auto Campus | Kansas Food Bank
Countryside Nissan | HCS Family Services
Just like in years past, the Walser Foundation will once again match $1 per pound donated – all proceeds will go to each respective food bank. Last year, Walser employees donated an astonishing 5,504 pounds of food – a record-breaking donation for Walser. Let’s beat this total in 2021 – the need is greater than ever.

The origin of the Acura name is derived from Latin - acu - defined as "done with precision" or "mechanically precise". Orginally, Honda pronounced the marque as "a-coor-uh", but customers preferred "Ah-cure-uh" so the new name stuck.
Have you been inundated with telephone calls about Extended Warranties for your vehicle? You’re not alone! My phone lines ring daily with those promising offers to cover my vehicle from unexpected break-downs. So, what is the big deal about Extended Warranties,and which one is the best fit for your vehicle? The first step is to ask for the contract and READ THE FINE PRINT!
Over the last 23 years, my wife and I have purchased a Vehicle Service Coverage Plan (VSCP) for every vehicle we’ve owned. We’ve only been burnt once due to not reading the fine print. Our coverage plan failed to pay for a repair on our Pontiac Montana, a common failure on most vehicles. In fact, that VSCP failed us a few times for other repairs needed on our Montana that made us dip into our savings. I quickly learned to ask for what was covered, IN WRITING, when we purchased our next vehicle and VSCP!
For almost two years now I’ve had the privilege of serving at Walser Acura of Wichita in a Customer Specialist role. I’m proud to say that our VSCP we offer is second to none and an incredible way to protect the value of your vehicle. Our Walser AutoGuard VSCP can cover your vehicle from headlight to taillight by paying the costs of most mechanical failures, towing, labor, parts and even a rental car with meals and lodging when repairs last overnight or longer.
Over 15,000 components and assemblies of your vehicle can becovered under our Platinum Level Plan. With our PowerTrain Level Plan, you can cover the major components of the vehicle and offer protection against many major breakdowns. Our Silver Level Plan offers the same as Powertrain, with some additional coverage benefits including Steering, Suspension, Brakes, Electrical,and Air Conditioning. I currently have the Silver Plan on my Acura TL and have reaped the benefits of using it!
If you’re interested in protecting your vehicle over the long haul, especially when it’s out of factory warranty, please reach out to me direct at 316.284.1501 and I’ll provide you with a quotation for your vehicle based on your ownership and needs. Oh, and ask me for the contract so you can read the fine print yourself! 😊
