And the lucky winner of the $25 Wawa gift card is none other than Wayne Alvey who must be a psychic because he also won the baby picture contest where the baby was Lisa Fones of the title department. Congratulations Wayne!
It’s none other than Tony Walls, manager of AAAACO Auto Parts!
One of the nicest people you’d ever meet, Chidi had been with Brandywine Truck Parts for over nine years before he decided to branch out on his own. We will miss you Chici! Shown below is Chidi and Jimmy Forsyth deciding how big a piece of cake they can handle.

Guess correctly and win a $25 Wawa card. For a little hint, this man no longer smokes cigars and has a bit more gray hair than when he was just a toddler….He’s also not foreign to the parts business, and has been with Brandywine for several years. Call Carol in payroll with your guess.
A company is known by the men and women that make up it’s team; thanks to all of you for your contributions that make Brandywine the success that it is today!

So many years have gone by since Ron joined Brandywine Auto Parts – in his 30 years he has managed and sold at many Brandywine locations and he has decided to retire and enjoy his family. On Monday July 30th we had a retirement party for Ron which doubled up as a birthday party for his big 65th birthday! Following are photos of the happy day, Ron received a custom made Brandywine watch, and many friends here wished him a fond farewell. We will miss you Ron but know what fun you will have with your wife Diane, kids and grand kids. Enjoy!!
As the Von Trappe kids once sang in the Sound of Music, “So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, goodbye”, we’ll see you around Ron Hall! We’ll miss you.
Congratulations to Lisa and Jodie of Compact Auto on the birth of their second child, Alyssa Marie Johnson, born: 6/25/2012 at 11:00 AM, weight: 7 lbs 3.2 oz, length: 19 inches. Brother Jacob is in heaven with his new little sister!
Brandywine Auto Parts has been asked to join Team PRP, which is a consortium of sorts for premium recyclers across the country. We have always taken pride in the fact that we advertise that we can get a part for our customers, no matter what, and this only presents a better opportunity to do so. We have joined other recyclers across the country to have their inventory available to us for re-sale to our customers…on top of that, the quality of each part needs to meet or exceed the PRP requirements.
Another “TEAM” was at work while you were sleeping….
Team Brandywine, our walking club, met at Cosca Park in Clinton on Sunday, July 29th at 8:30. We each walked around 4 miles — we put in a $10.00 entry fee per walker and, in addition to the donation tubes at each location we were able to donate $115 to the Charity of our choice. This month we chose the Maryland Ronald McDonald House Charities. Our next walk is on Saturday, August 25th , the “Chaptico Classic” for various Southern Maryland charities. Whether or not you’re a member of the Team, please feel free to join us, walking for charity and also staying fit! Just contact one of the team members for more info.
Condolences go out to the families of Sgt. Julian C. Chase, USMC, of Edgewater, Md., who died May 28, 2012 in Helmand province, and Lance Corporal Gene C. Mills III, USMC, of Laurel, Md., who died June 22, 2012 in Helmand province, Afghanistan, in support of Operation Enduring Freedom.
Our heart felt sympathy goes to the victims of the tragedy in Aurora, Colorado on Friday, July 20, 2012. Our prayers and thoughts are with the families who lost loved ones as well as with the ones recovering from this tragedy.
Condolences also go to George Glovier of Eden and his wife Doris on the sudden passing of Doris’ mother Helen.
The beginning of August surely has some of us calling the wrong location for some of our employees. Many changes have taken place, Dana Cole is the new manager at our Brandywine Two location; Matthew Menseck is the new manager at Bowie Used Truck and Van; Claudia Barerra has moved to Brandywine Truck location; Junior Williams has moved to Brandywine Auto Parts; Randy Whitley has moved to the Bowie Used Truck and Van location; Phil Pallo has moved to Brandywine Auto Parts; Jason Huston has moved to Brandywine Truck Parts and Jimmy Goddard is the new manager at Southern Maryland Auto Parts. Good luck to all of you, you’re going to shine no matter where you are!
We know everyone needs some R&R from time to time, shown below is none other than Wayne Alvey of Compact Auto Parts and his Grandson Garrett on the Patuxent River getting in a little fishing….hope you guys caught a bunch!
