Tired of calling the dealership to book an oil change and being told it’ll be a two-week wait?
Well the folks at Lake City Ford are hoping they can help, with the addition of the Quick Lane Tire and Auto Centre to the services they provide.
“Quick Lane is a franchise available to Ford dealers,” said Dave Polack, General Manager at Lake City Ford. “It’s an additional service business, and is not directly tied to the dealership.”
The concept of Quick Lane is for the customer to be able to just drive in, and they’ll be looked after - no appointment necessary.
“We’ve been open for three weeks, and have actually been really busy,’ said Polack.
There are more than 600 Quick Lane franchises in the United States, and in Canada. Ford dealerships have a fast lube franchise that was called Fast Lane, but now it’s all going to be under the Quick Lane name according to Polack.
Dealerships have to qualify for a Quick Lane franchise, and apply. Polack said he wanted to bring a Quick Lane to Williams Lake so he would be able to service other makes and models not just Fords, and provide that ‘no-appointment necessary’ service to the town.
“Lake City Ford has been in business for 57 years and we are pleased to offer this service to the people of Williams Lake. It’s an exciting opportunity to be able to look after all different kinds of vehicles,” said Polack. The Quick Lane staff is lead by Manager Simone Groundwater and many of the technicians have been with Lake City Ford for many years.
Join Dave and the gang at Quick Lane on Saturday October 1st for their Grand Opening. Oil and filter changes along with a vehicle wash for an incredibly low price of $9.95 on Saturday only. No matter what make or model, they all can be serviced at Quick Lanes. With the purchase of an oil change, the customer also has the chance to win a 51” Samsung HDTV. There will also be a barbeque with donations going to the Salvation Army Food Bank. And there is something for the whole family including a coloring contest for kids, and special pricing on winter tires. During the month of October, customers who purchase winter tires will be entered into a draw to win their purchase. Polack wants customers to know at Quick Lane, off-season tires can be stored on location. Customers are encouraged to come down and check out all the great services Quick Lane has to offer.
Quick Lane is located on Seventh Ave just behind Lake City Ford.
