It's winter! Oh..wait...still. Snow is falling like there's no tomorrow and we have some easy tips to help you stay safe and out of the ditch. 1.Turn your headlights on. Make sure that traffic can see you coming. 2. Use caution and good judgement on speed, safe distances and turning. 3. Fill your tank full. If you do get stuck at least you will have heat until you have help 4. Keep warm blankets, foot wear and coats in your vehicles. Again, in case you get stuck these items may help sustain till help arrives. 5. Wipe all your windows off and clean your wipers. You can actually receive a tic...

Over the Christmas break we noticed a few changes to our new showroom! The construction workers have been hard at work installing carpet, drywall and lighting to the innards of the showroom. Our Boardroom is looking pretty spiffy with the new pot-lighting and hanging lights they installed. The offices are really starting to take shape as walls and sub-walls are built. Our cafeteria for now is still only accessible from the back of the building, but will soon be connected openly to the new section upstairs. Jeannie is getting pretty excited! There are many employees we hear stating how encou...

The holidays are a unique time of year to spend with family and friends and to really reflect on the year. Upon our reflections, we find the needs of others to be of more importance than other times of the year. It could be a neighbor, a friend, a family member or even a complete stranger, but we find the courage and generosity to help those who need our help.

With the fresh snow falls almost daily, we find ourselves lending our helping hands more often. From digging someone out of a tough snow bank or pushing a stalled vehicle off the path of traffic, we are appreciative of all the help and friendliness we see around our city. On the highways, we note that a second vehicle almost always accompanies the broken down one with a cell phone, tow ropes or booster cables. This past Wednesday, the pre-owned and fleet personal gave a helping hand to a motorist that found himself wedged firmly on an ice berm just past out main gate. Seeing that there was ...

This past Sunday, Koch Ford Lincoln employees were invited inside the Main Event! We were given the great opportunity to have a tour of the new facility and sign the floor that will forever be a part of the Koch Ford Lincoln community. The event was held by our BDC department and more specifically Glen Finstad and Maurie Tellier. They put together a great gathering of about 60 employees who traversed through the terrible weather and over ugly road conditions to be at the event. Together with our Cafeteria Manager, Jeannie, sandwiches were provided along with hot coffee and beverages. Glen a...

Contrary to the freezing rain and the consistent barrage of snow flurries, today I was taken inside our showroom to have a look at all the changes that have been happening this past month! The last update I shared with you, Exclusive Inside Pics, was the first look inside the development of our new showroom. Today I have the same opportunity to share with our friends and readers what inside our showroom looks like now. I hope you enjoy! We are all very excited to see the finished product, but as we go through all these changes, it's exciting to be able to document them. Looking back in a fe...

Hello Koch Fans! Last week proved to be full of surprises and wonders for us here at Koch Ford Lincoln. Our week started off with convincing Mother Nature to let up on the snow and rain to have the ground dry and the temperature just right to lay our asphalt. The constructions workers leveled, poured and smoothed out the asphalt around the East side of our Service Department and the South-West side of the showroom, perhaps you seen it driving by?! With those two crucial spots finished, our Service Department is back to full 100% activity and our Customers are finding shorter wait times and ...

Paving is proving to be difficult, but the silver lining, windows are being framed in the showroom!!
