Conicelli Honda

The wildly successful Conicelli Mr. Nice Guy magnet contest has been extended to run through March 31, 2010.

Vehicles bearing the magnets have been spotted in locations such as Philadelphia, King of Prussia, Malvern, West Chester, Lafayette Hill, and Norristown,  to Lansdale, Doylestown, Cherry Hill, Delaware, and even south Jersey!

Winners have received various prizes just for displaying the signature magnet on their vehicle, and being spotted by a member of the Conicelli Management team. Some participants have enjoyed being videotaped by the Conicellicam as they receive their prize. Videos are posted on the Conicelli YouTube channel.

Conicelli Honda is offering the magnets free of charge. No purchase is necessary to enter the I Spy Mr. Nice Guy Contest. A magnet can be obtained by coming into the Conicelli Honda showroom, service department, or body shop, or by email, and simply asking for a free "I Spy Mr. Nice Guy" magnet.

The participants have to have an "I Spy Mr. Nice Guy" magnet displayed on the exterior of their vehicle. If a member of the Conicelli management team spies an "I Spy Mr. Nice Guy" magnet on a vehicle, the owner is contacted and has the opportunity to receive a gift card as a prize.

Complete rules can be found by clicking on any of the gamepiece buttons visible throughout this website, or contact Lori Hammond, Internet Director of Sales, 610-828-1400, ext. 1208. 

Car and Driver Magazine has named the 2010 Honda Accord and the 2010 Honda Fit as two of the winners of its prestigious and highly competitive annual "10Best Cars" award. Now in its eighth generation, the Accord has achieved "10Best" status 24 times in the 28 years that Car and Driver editors have been conducting the competition, more than any other vehicle in the award's history. The Honda Fit has been honored with 10Best status in each of the four years that it has been on sale in the United States.

"The Car and Driver's '10Best' awards recognize Honda's ongoing emphasis on performance, quality and safety," said John Mendel, executive vice president of American Honda Motor Co., Inc. "Honda is honored to have its vehicles regarded so highly over the years with one of the most coveted awards in the industry."

Several vehicles available at Conicelli Honda earn the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's Top Safety Pick award for 2010: the 2010 Honda Civic sedan (except Si) with electronic stability control, and the 2010 Honda Element. For the first time, good performance in a roof strength test to measure protection in a rollover is required to win. Top Safety Pick recognizes vehicles that do the best job of protecting people in front, side, rear, and now rollover crashes based on good ratings in Institute tests. Winners also must have electronic stability control, which research shows significantly reduces crash risk. This is the second time the Institute has tightened criteria since announcing the first recipients in 2005.

Both the Honda Civic sedan with electronic stability control, and the Honda Element are available from Conicelli Honda.

During the last 12 months Conicelli sponsorships and gifts have benefited numerous local organizations such as the Kobe Bryant Foundation, Andre Iguodala Youth Foundation, Lupus Foundation of America Southeastern PA chapter, Pathway School of Norristown, Salvation Army, Ss. Cosmas and Damian Church 94th Annual Parish Festival, and the Norristown PAL.

Conicelli Is the First Auto Body Shop Certified for PPG/Waterborne Use in PA

Using PPG's waterborne paint helps improve the environment. For a shop that mixes an average of one gallon of basecoat per week, using waterborne automotive paint reduces the emission of VOCs (Volatile organic compounds) by 300 pounds annually.
That's the same as eliminating the emissions of more than 1,000 cars per year.
At Conicelli this process eliminates appx.18,000 lbs. of VOCs annually, that would otherwise end up in our atmosphere. That compares to the emissions of 60,000 cars.

Global Finishing Systems Auto Painting

By controlling the speed of the motors for optimum performance, a VFD (variable frequency drive) provides huge energy savings that were previously unattainable.
All heated booths at Conicelli Body Shop include single or dual VFDs for better performance and energy savings.
By using Orion's leading-edge lighting products, Conicelli saves energy and reduces by 66 percent the amount of harmful greenhouse gases emitted into the atmosphere.

We recycle approximately 4200 tires a year, the material of which is then used in athletic and recreational areas, alternate fuel sources, and rubber mulch for landscaping.
Ground up tires even find their way back to your car in the form of automotive parts, like exhaust hangers, brake pads, brake shoes, and acoustic insulation; a low percentage goes into making new tires.
We recycle approximately 1400 car batteries per year, of which nearly 100% of the raw materials are used for other products. (Glass cleaner, new plastic cases, etc.)
We collect approximately 10 tons of cardboard materials annually to be recycled.
This reduces the demand for new paper from virgin pulp, thereby saving trees and decreasing the amount of pollution generated in new paper production. Also because cardboard is such a bulky waste, recycling it saves significant amounts of space in landfills and reduces pollution in areas where trash is incinerated.
Annually Conicelli shops recycle appx. 53,000 gallons of motor oil via Lorco Petroleum Services, thus converting it into fuel oil that not only meets but exceeds USEPA standards.

At Conicelli Honda we are committed to reducing our footprint on the environment while still providing superior service.
