Don’t Miss A&D McQueen

A&D McQueen is the perfect photo opportunity for kids and car enthusiasts alike. Whether you’re a lifelong car person or just bringing the family out for the afternoon, it’s a memorable part of the GLAM Jam experience.
(A&D McQueen is not affiliated with any movie franchise — just pure automotive fun from the 517 Auto Care family.)

While you’re at the event, stop by and connect with the team behind the 517 Auto Care network. You can ask questions about your vehicle, get practical maintenance advice, and learn how the network serves Lansing, East Lansing, Okemos, Haslett, Holt, and DeWitt throughout the year.
We’re not there to sell you anything — just to be part of the community we serve every day.
