We always new it was true, especially from our dealership group!

Ford has been honoured by the Women’s Business Enterprise Council for developing best practices that resulted in productive business partnerships with women entrepreneurs. Ford may not have set out to support women business owners, Ford did dedicate higher spending in 2011 to suppliers that are playing a key role in Ford’s expanding portfolio of high-quality, safe, fuel-efficient products equipped with smart technologies. They just also happened to be women!

Are you a woman looking for a Nanaimo, Victoria or Vancouver Mainland group dedicated to creating a community for you to learn, share and grow together while creating amazing lives? You might be looking for “I Love My Life!”

While we all think we can drive better in the snow than the next guy, it may be time to pop in to the dealership and get prepared for the snow that’s on the way!

Chains and snow tires will help (we have both in stock 250-758-7742). We also carry salt for your walk ways and stairs, winter windshield washer fluid, and every kind of windshield wiper needed. Drive safe Nanaimo.

PS. Chains will only work if you put them on the driving tires. Front Wheel Drive cars, like the Toyota Camry in the video, does not get chains on the rear tires!

What a great team we have here!

Jon, Shaun, Rob and Brad stayed after shift just to make sure that the tire and tool room for the shop got all cleaned up. Amazing work guys. So glad you are part of our Family here at Steve Marshall Ford Lincoln.

While they might moonlight as shop cleaners, they are excellent technicians!
