Kudos

Osoyoos #77

I am writing this letter to express my pleasure and gratitude for the service of one of your employees. My wife and I were travelling to the coast on Thursday, 4 April 9, 2024 and came through a couple of storms on the way. It became apparent that our wipers were not up to the task and we pulled into your store that morning. I went to the wiper isle and was trying to find the correct wipers for her SUV and not having much success. A wonderful young lady came over and asked if I needed some help to which I readily agreed. We went over to the counter and she offered me a couple of options and I selected the one she recommended. She pulled the wipers out of the cartons and assembled them with the correct adapters and while I was paying for them she went out and installed them on our Escape. Service like that is rare these days and needs to be applauded when it happens.

I am ashamed to say I did not get her name but I hope you figure out who it was and can pass on our profuse thanks to her again. By the way, the new wipers are wonderful.

Paolo Galetta- Metrotown #49

Shaun Specken - Vernon #40

If you come to this location make sure you have Shaun assist you. The first person that was helping us was just searching the shelves. After so many questions he grabbed Shaun and we were set. Shaun was quick to get everything lined out and ordered/on the way to the store. Thank you for the help and great service.

-Matt Van Lent

Marissa Brideau - Newton #27

Marissa's service is the best service I have ever received at Lordco! She was like a scientist with the paint, and explained how color reacts to the depth of light exposure and the difference between tricoats and single coats. I have a Burgundy colored Cadillac I wanted since high school, and the color invokes deep emotions within me. Getting the color right is important, it's crucial so to speak. She says there's even a scanner they use that will use an algorithm to see if the color is a match! I can listen to her talk about paint all day she actually made it interesting ahhahaha Great Job Marissa!! p.s. Gurp had good service too! Cheers

-Jason S

I was today at the store to buy windshield wipers for my bmw 325i. Those that I purchased at another store, not lordco, seemed to not fit. I couldn't figure out what was wrong so, went to this lordco. Not only I was able to locate the right set but also got help from Paolo to install them. In the end it became easy but without Paolo I just do it right. I want to thank Paolo and also Jessica his supervisor. Good training not only in know-how but also in customer care. Thank you and bravo to both Jessica and Paolo!

Langford #45

This was just the right place to go for when I was looking for both brake pads and random parts etc... for my 1992 Cadillac DeVille. On some of the small hoses they didn't even charge me when they took little off cuts for me, great customer Service! Great advice. Great people.

Hypertension Awareness Month

May is Hypertension Awareness Month! Hypertension is another term for high blood pressure, which affects about 1 in 4 Canadians. High blood pressure can negatively affect your health, which is why this month is all about spreading awareness, educating people on prevention, and supporting those managing hypertension.

What is Hypertension?

Hypertension is the force of blood being pumped from your heart into your blood vessels. This force makes blood flow possible, delivering nutrients and oxygen to organs and tissues throughout the body. Blood pressure is measured using two numbers. The first number, called systolic blood pressure, measures the pressure in your arteries when your heart beats. The second number, called diastolic blood pressure, measures the pressure in your arteries when your heart is resting between beats. A healthy blood pressure is around 120 systolic and 80 diastolic, or 120 over 80. Blood pressure usually rises and falls throughout the day, depending on your activity level. For instance, it increases when you exercise and decreases when you sleep. High blood pressure occurs when there is too much pressure in your blood vessels for a prolonged period, resulting in hypertension.

What Can You Do to Prevent High Blood Pressure?

To keep your blood pressure in a healthy range, try to get at least 150 minutes of physical activity each week, eat a healthy balanced diet, limit sodium and alcohol, and manage stress. Exercise can be one of the most important factors in maintaining blood pressure. When your heart is conditioned to natural stressors such as exercise, it is more resilient to everyday stressors. Physical activity also helps to maintain a healthy weight, lowering your risk of high blood pressure. If you’re looking for support and inspiration to increase your physical activity, join us on our new wellness platform on Lordco Connect and take part in the Get Your Heart Rate Up community. This community will be sharing workout tips, tricks, and routines to get your heart pumping!

How Do You Know if You Have High Blood Pressure?

High blood pressure has no signs or symptoms, so it is important to measure your blood pressure often. Many pharmacies have blood pressure testing stations so that you can test yourself. Additionally, many people find it helpful to keep a log to track their blood pressure and develop a baseline so that any changes can be caught early. High blood pressure is any measurement higher than 130 over 80, so if you notice your blood pressure increasing throughout your logs, be sure to contact your doctor.

What Can You Do to Manage High Blood Pressure?

To keep high blood pressure under control, work closely with your healthcare team. They will inform you of steps to lower your blood pressure such as diet and exercise changes, or medication if needed. Log on to Lordco Connect or email HR@Lordco.com to view your health benefits and take charge of your health and well-being!
