Grand Island Car Care Clinic
These events are starting to become a little more regular across the group, and that’s a really great thing! As an automotive group, we are uniquely positioned to help provide people with reliable transportation. When we host a car care clinic, we open up the shop after hours and our techs donate their time to fix vehicles for people in need.
All for no charge to those involved. In the past we have often partnered with other organizations to serve single moms in this way. While that will continue, this clinic was a little different. By utilizing a network of local veterans, we identified a group of local veterans in need and provided vehicle service to them. In a few cases, we replaced their vehicle entirely.
A special thanks to the Grand Island Service Team involved in making this happen! You guys are having a huge impact!
Grand Island Remodel
The Grand Island Ford Store looks quite a bit different if you haven’t seen it lately. The showfloor has recently been overhauled and has seen the addition of a new Sales Tower, customer tables, and new Sales Advisor desks. The whole room feels bigger and more spacious. The Service Team has some pretty sweet new gear as well. The new mobile lifts pictured will allow for greater flexibility in their work area.
The exterior of the building will also be seeing some major updates from Ford soon. We are working with an architect and have recently finalized blueprints for an enlarged showroom, new exterior signage, and the addition of a Quicklane. Check out the blueprints here. Exciting stuff!
Charity Fest in Grand Island
Charity Fest in Grand Island was a fantastic success this year. We raised more than twice as much money this year to help local organizations in our community that make a difference. The items you see in the pictures were part of a yard sale, the proceeds of which were donated. We also ended up with a semi truck load of unsold items for the Goodwill! Check out more photos from the event here on our Facebook page. Way to go GI team for making this happen!

Ag Appreciation Day
We had an awesome turnout for Ag Appreciation Day in Grand Island. Once a year, we invite our ag industry customers to come enjoy a hot meal on the house. Looks like 2-300 people came through during the day.
