Motorz congratulates Mark Garety of Metamora, Ill., the winner of the 2013 Motorz Mega Craftsman® Christmas (MMCC) giveaway valued at more than $10,000.  

“I am so excited to have won this incredible contest,” stated Garety. “I have been watching Motorz since its second season, and the show has helped me take on a number of projects. I have some basic hand tools in the garage, and usually buy just what is needed for each project. I can’t wait to have all the great Craftsman tools and accessories for my garage, along with all the other incredible products in the prize package!”

The 26-year old Garety is a Mustang enthusiast, car club member and true DIY’er who has completed a number of upgrades to his family’s vehicles including a performance tuner and exhaust, rear lower control arms and valve covers. He also enjoys detailing vehicles, and is always looking forward to his next project.    

“The thing I like most about Motorz is that the show  filmed in a real garage using common tools,” continued Garety. “I started watching the Mustang episodes even before I bought my car because I knew I was going to get a 2008 Mustang GT, and I already had plans for some of the projects I wanted to take on. Motorz has helped me complete some of these projects successfully, and it’s been a lot of fun.”

“It’s always great for me to personally contact a contest winner, but to talk to Mark and hear the excitement in his voice and his true enthusiasm for Motorz was a thrill for me,” stated Chris Duke, executive producer and host of Motorz. “I know that Mark is going to use and appreciate everything in this prize package, and that really means a lot to the whole Motorz crew and to everyone who has made this contest possible.”

The MMCC featured products from Craftsman at Sears® Katzkin®AMP ResearchCovercraft®, E3® Spark Plugs, Mothers® Polish, and PerformanceParts.com to create the biggest prize package in Motorz’ history. For more information, visit http://www.motorz.tv/win-mmcc/.
