Young Alex Capra is just getting started in cosmetology school, and the WESTconsin Credit Union account that his dad, Richard, opened for him when he was just a tyke paid off in a big way when it came time to find reliable transportation to and from school.

But not just any car would do.

“Ever since I was a kid, I’ve always wanted a red Grand Prix,” Alex says. Fortunately, he had two factors in his favor: First, his parents encouraged him to save and make regular deposits into his WESTconsin account, which he did; secondly, they were able to use a not-so-secret weapon in WESTconsin’s Terry Sullivan, who, through his many dealership contacts, helped them find the right car at the right price, making the entire process as easy as possible.

When you’re off to “stylin’ school,” why not ride in style?
