Recently, we had the privilege of visiting one of our long-time ministry partners, New Life Centers in Chicago. New Life Centers was born in 2006, out of New Life Church, when members were given a vision to get outside of the four walls of the Church and love their neighbors.

The organization has grown tremendously since then!

We have some exciting news we’re eager to share with you. Beginning May 1st we welcomed Sara Trombley as the new President of MATS. She will be leading the company, alongside Amy Warner, our Director of Purchasing. Josh Nottingham, who has served as President for nearly 20 years, will remain involved as Owner of MATS. 

Today we are going to de-bunk that myth! Cars are way better than they used to be. The technology has advanced and they’re just built better. Cars are no longer nearing the end of their life at 100K anymore. In fact, like a good pair of shoes, some vehicles are just being broken in at 100,000 miles. What matters more than the miles is the AGE of the vehicle.

1. In 2023, MATS delivered vehicles to 33 out of the 50 states!

2. MATS employs 19 staff and 12 drivers. 5 of our employees have worked in vocational ministry at some point in their careers.

3. As far as we know, there isn’t a dealer or broker doing exactly what we do. When buying a house, most people get help from a realtor. We believe the same should be true of buying a car.

Today, we’re going to discuss the various car makers and what’s so good (or not so good) about them.

Central Indiana Youth for Christ strives to foster enduring relationships with students during crucial moments. Their desire is that students feel acknowledged, seen, and valued at each of their ministry sites.

How do you buy a “good car?”
And what makes a car a “good buy?”

Buying a car, especially in this market, is not as simple as preferred year + preferred mileage + within budget = good. Rather, there are a few more important factors to consider.

Need a car for summer, but not sure if you should buy now or wait? Here are a few things you’ll want to consider…

In 2020, a family of 6 – a teacher, a stay-at-home mom, and 4 kiddos – trusted MATS and included the AUL Powertrain Warranty in their van purchase. They have used it twice with no regrets!

Today’s car market update encompasses two things: (1) why prices rise as temperature rises every year, and (2) why MATS emphasizes being “as flexible as possible” with your car search.
