Koch Ford Lincoln Blog

A beautiful fall day! The weather has been so cooperative it’s awesome! I hope all of our customers and friends are enjoying the weather and that it finds everyone well. The construction at Koch Ford Lincoln is progressing well. With our last blog post (Exclusive Photos) we were able to give a hefty update as to where we are with all the building.

The workers cleaned out beside the North End of the Service building of all debris and the air vent to make room for a ...

Our excitement grows daily watching the showroom come to life. We have certainly come a long way from the tear down that happened on April 20, 2012.

We also have moved our receptionist into the centre of the showroom between the Ford and Lincoln entrances to help guide our customers to their destinations inside the dealership. I wanted to share my excitement with our customers and friends and show...

Thinking about whether or not you should apply undercoating on your new vehicle?  Need help identifying what Undercoat Protection is? Here are a few reasons why applying undercoating is useful in protecting you vehicle against the elements. Undercoat protection is a pliable sealant that is formulated with neoprene rubber and asphaltic gums. This pliable sealant will not peel, flake, blister, crack or freeze. It is attached using high pressure to the undercarriage, body and panel areas of the vehicle. Among all of its benefits, undercoat protection acts as a strong sound barrier against the ...

Construction is well underway and the new structure is beginning to take shape. Our structural beams for the main show room and for the second floor balcony are in position.

Every customer is special at Koch Ford Lincoln! We either have your vehicle on our lot or we will work hard to get it for you. We asked one of the members of our Pre-Owned Sales team, Jim Goodfellow, to share a few feel-good stories about some of his successes.

I mentioned to the customer that we could get him another Cadillac that he would like and bring it in for his consideration. He agreed and with the assistance of our ...
