Popular Post cbriggs Posted February 27, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 27, 2021 Well, after 16 years at my local Ford dealer, I have finally made the decision to call it quits. With the current state of fomoco and their declining interest in customer satisfaction, inability to supply parts, and lack of product support in general, (and largely some dealer level BS going on at the store) I found it impossible to turn down an opportunity that arose. My self and a friend, who is also a Ford diesel tech, are in the process of purchasing an Indy shop that came up for sale. It is a 19 year old, 4200 square foot shop, with 6 bays, 4 -2 post hoists and an 18k 4 post. It has a large office area, a separate upstairs office area, and a lunch / meeting room. It is by far the newest and nicest shop in my town (of 5000 people). We gain possession on April 1st, and plan to open on April 5th. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Saunoras Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Good luck! I've been out for 3 1/2 years and I can't say I regret it at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YukonTyler Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Best of luck! Fortune favours the bold ... I also left the dealership scene and I have to say it was one of the best choices that I've ever made. I opened my own shop 2 years ago now and I can say that it has helped bring me a great deal of satisfaction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
