Keeping it Green

It has been a BIG week for us, we had our New Owners Clinic and we are very  pleased to announce our support and sponsorship of The Newport News Green Foundation’s DIG IN EARTH DAY 5K! This is such an exciting event and working with such a great cause is something that really matters to us at Bowditch Ford. We encourage you to sign up for this event and to come out to the event to learn more about land conservation in the City of Newport News and more about the great line up of Eco-friendly Ford Vehicles. Keep watching our Facebook page and this blog for more information on this and other Green Foundation Events. 

New Owners Clinic

On Wednesday, March 28, 2012 we were pleased to welcome some of new owners for an evening of information, food, fun, and prizes. We hope that this experience was a valuable tool for our new owners to learn about the dealership, the service process here at Bowditch Ford, and helped each customer learn a little more about their car. We also hope that all of big winners loved their great prizes like tickets to WWE, the Virginia Aquarium, and the grand prize of an IPOD Shuffle. Thank you all for taking the time out of your schedule to share this night, of celebrating you and your new vehicle purchase, with us.

Environmental Protection for Your Vehicle

Did you know that Bowditch Ford offers you a great deal on keeping your vehicle looking its best with our Environmental Protection Plans?

Paint Protection – This service keeps the outside of your vehicle looking its best. This plan helps maintain your paint’s high gloss finish, eliminates the need for waxing your vehicle (saving you time and money), and guarantees against paint fading, oxidation, and damage that can be caused by acid rain, bird droppings, and tree sap.

Interior Protection- It does not matter if you have a fabric, vinyl or leather interior, we have a protection plan for you. For fabric interiors our service helps prevent stains from water and oil based spills by adding a permanent protective barrier that coats every fiber yet doesn’t alter the fabric’s texture or appearance. For vinyl and leather interiors our protection package penetrates the pores with an invisible layer that softens and enriches the natural color, sealing natural oils and guarantees against deterioration, fading, and mildew.

Undercoating – The paint and vehicle interior are not the only parts of the vehicle that you should protect, the undercarriage is just as important. Our protection plan help prevent rust and corrosion, insulates the vehicle to help your car or truck run cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter, and deadens road noise.

To schedule an appointment or get more information on Environmental Protection Plans call Paige today at 757-595-2211.
