Something you might not know about Waldorf Ford

(Trophy is the 2009 Trophy. The official announcement for 2011 will be made sometime in Mid March)

One of the accomplishments, we at Waldorf Ford, are most proud of, is that for the sixth year in a row, we are on track to win the Ford Triple Crown. The final results will be announced in the near future. Now, you might think “so what”. You shouldn’t. This means a lot for you as our loyal customer – or you as a potential customer. You see, the Triple Crown is awarded to 25 or less Ford and Lincoln dealers nationally every year. It requires that the dealer be in the top 100 dealers in the nation in sales volume, that the dealer win the President’s Award for excellent customer service and that they are in the top in the nation in parts and service sales or Extended Service Plan sales.

Waldorf Ford makes it into the top 100 dealers in sales (and many times in the top 50) because we sell a lot of vehicles. This gives us a bigger allocation of vehicles and ultimately a bigger selection of new vehicles for you to choose from when you are ready to purchase. Selling a lot of new vehicles also means that we have a bigger selection of preowned vehicles to choose from because of trade-ins. The next part though is where we are different from other volume dealers. We win the President’s Award.

The President’s Award was developed in 1998. Dealers become eligible through survey responses from customers related to their service, satisfaction and overall dealership experience. If we don’t do a good job taking care of you before, during and after the sale, then our scores reflect that. We have currently won the President’s Award six years in a row and 11 times in the last 15 years.

The final qualifier for the Triple Crown Award is to be in the top in the nation in parts and service sales or Extended Service Plan sales. Perennially we are one of the top dealers in the country in Extended Service Plan sales. We want to provide our customers the peace of mind that an extended service plan provides. When your new car’s factory warranty expires, or if you purchased a preowned vehicle, those unexpected repairs can cost you sometimes thousands of dollars. An extended service plan will cost you less and you can pay for it over time if you finance it with the car.

Now that we have gone through the details of the Triple Crown Award, want to know something about Waldorf Ford that you didn’t know? Waldorf Ford is the ONLY dealer in our region to ever win the Triple Crown Award from Ford. That’s right the ONLY ONE! It just proves that we are the only dealer in the region that has a large inventory of new Ford vehicles to choose from, that takes care of their customers before, during and after the sale and that cares about the peace of mind of their customers. You would have to drive to Boston or to Charlotte NC to find another dealer that is proven to provide the same service. Next time you are looking to buy a new Ford, or to have your current Ford vehicle serviced, do you think Waldorf Ford will be on your list? We hope so!

Waldorf Ford is located on Route 301 north in Waldorf, Maryland. Just 15 minutes south of Washington DC.

The 12 Days of Christmas Specials – Oops and Thank you

We would like to start out by saying we had huge ambitions and good intentions when we came up with the plan to send out daily email specials to our customers. We wanted to bring you some great deals on service, parts and aftermarket. What we didn’t realize is the effect it would have on our email servers, our staff and most importantly you our customers. Though it was a fun thought – get an email with a special every day through Christmas – we realized that it might be a little bit too much. So, we decided to compile all of the specials into one email and send it out today. They are the same great specials, you just are getting them all at once.

To take advantage of the specials, print out this email and bring it with you. We suggest calling in advance to schedule for any service or aftermarket specials.

Thanks for your patience and we hope to see you soon!

Wow, where did the time go. Thanksgiving is right around the corner and not far behind is Christmas and the end of 2011. We at Waldorf Ford and Waldorf Dodge, try very hard to give back to our communities by not only donating money, but by also donating our time and resources. We regularly go to the Humane Society of Charles County to highlight animals in need of new homes. This time we decided to head to the Southern Maryland Food Bank to talk to them about what they do and to see what we, as a community, could do to help them to help others. Check out the video of our visit.

Can you believe the amount of food that they distribute out of such a small space?! We were amazed. As you can see they need more help. So, if you would like to donate food or money, you can contact them at Southern Maryland Food Bank. We are grateful to have them serving our community.

Waldorf, MD — Mr. Floyd Alexander, General Manager of Waldorf Ford Dodge Used Car Center, stunned area residents today by announcing that, due to popular demand, Waldorf Ford Dodge Used Car Center will once again bring back the $3,500 CASH FOR Clunkers†. In 2009 many Americans took advantage of the CASH FORFORFOR Clunkers† event by trading in their old cars, trucks, and S.U.V.’s for a newer more fuel efficient means of transportation with a guaranteed $3,500 trade allowance for their vehicle. Alexander confirms “IT’S BACK” and that the event will be held for THREE days only, Thursday, November 10th through Saturday, November 12th, regardless of weather.

Alexander offers a simple explanation for this spectacular sales event, “The program that stimulated the economy in the summer of 2009, giving consumers a once in a lifetime opportunity to trade up from their old, worn down vehicles and get into a newer, more dependable means of transportation is back.” Waldorf Ford Dodge Used Car Center HAS BEEN SELECTED AS THE ONLY LOCATION IN THE EAST COAST REGION RENEWING THE GUARANTEE OF $3,500 CASH FOR Clunkers TRADE IN. While many Americans took advantage of this program in 2009, some missed out on the incredible savings due to a rapid depletion of inventories. We are proud to bring this program back to our customers in Waldorf for a limited time only. The customers that missed out on the incredible savings two years ago, have been demanding for a return of the program and now “IT’S BACK”.

There will be many vehicles to choose from including trade-ins, lease turn-ins, specially purchased vehicles, company cars and more. Alexander goes on to mention, “Most of the vehicles we’re offering will have incredibly low pricing, in some cases at or near wholesale levels. I can assure you, if you want to get a great deal on the vehicle of your dreams, you won’t want to miss this event.”

During this exclusive event, extended terms and special financing will be available to help reduce monthly payments or obtain credit for those who may have had credit challenges in the past. With recent events due to a complex economy, good people have run into difficult circumstances which have made purchasing a new vehicle challenging. Waldorf Ford Dodge Used Car Center believes in helping those individuals with credit challenges get back on their feet again. Everyone is welcome and special lenders will be on site to provide funding for those who feel there may be something negatively affecting their credit situation. Representatives will be on hand for immediate approval and release of these ‘insider’ deals.

Many of the pre-owned vehicles offered are late model vehicles with low mileage and balance of factory warranty remaining. Auto shoppers can choose from many makes and models including Honda, Jeep, Dodge, Chrysler, Ford, Chevrolet, Mercedes-Benz, Cadillac, GMC, Nissan, Hyundai, Saturn, Toyota and more. To ensure that everyone can take advantage of great deals, prices will be clearly marked on windshields. All you’ll need to do is pick a vehicle. It’s that simple.

During the 3-day event, all trades are welcome, paid for or not. Alexander states, “No matter how much you owe on your trade, we’ll pay it off, if we make a deal1! You don’t want to miss the unique opportunity to obtain a newer pre-owned car, truck, van or sport utility with an unbelievably low down payment!” Alexander also reminds customers that the event is first-come, first-served, so it’s critical to come early to have the best chance of getting the vehicle of your choice.

If you missed out on the Cash For Clunkers event in 2009, you have just one last opportunity right now to take advantage of this special offer at Waldorf Ford Dodge Used Car Center on the corner of 2440 Crain Highway in Waldorf, for 3 days: Thursday, November 10th from 9am–9pm, Friday, November 11th from 9am–9pm and Saturday, November 12th from 9am–9pm. Hurry for the best selection.

Red light-runner has ill-advised change of heart

Red light-runner has ill-advised change of heart

Red Light

We’ve all done it before. Your sitting on 301 north in Waldorf or some other random traffic light in Southern Maryland and the light is red, but you’re turning right, so you stop and then proceed as soon as traffic clears. But then, just as you’ve committed, you spot a Crown Victoria, and your mind starts to race. Was there a no turn on red sign back there? Is that a cop? Oh snap, there goes my insurance premiums!

It’s not a pretty feeling, but once you’re committed, you know it’s too late. Well, it’s too late for most, but apparently not everyone in Russia agrees. Take a look at the below video that illustrates what not to do after deciding to turn right on a red light. We don’t speak Russian, but we’d like to think that the video’s narrator is calling this driver a, uh, buffoon.

This special Ford Mustang Customizer will go live on Tuesday, September 20th. Once it does, users can pick between all varieties of the Mustang, from V6 up to the big-boy Shelby GT500. Once a user decides on his machine, it’s time to customize it to his or her liking. Ford has a offered-up virtual wheels, body-kits, decals, grilles, decklid spoilers and a few choice parts from the Ford Racing Performance Parts catalog.

Once your mega Mustang is created, you can upload it to your Facebook page or put it on our Waldorf Ford Facebook page where it can “battle” against examples produced by your friends and other Mustang fans. There will be a leaderboard so you can see how your design stacks up against the rest of the world.

Also, if you end up falling in love with your work, Ford will help you turn it into a reality. A PDF description of how you optioned your car can be printed out, and then bring it to us here at Waldorf Ford. All of the Ford performance and styling pieces can be purchased there, while the available aftermarket items will have to be sourced from the applicable vendors. Head over to Ford.com/cars/mustang on Tuesday to get cracking on creating your dream Mustang.
