2011-04-23T17:10:00.000-07:00

At Ford of Kirkland, its not just about selling, it can be fun too. We made a funny Ford Raptor walk around video for fun and the person asked "How do I get the Ice out after it melts?"

Here was the original video, you got tto see this one to understand why we made the conversion kit.

Experienced Sales person or Buyers Agent, what is the real difference?

2010-12-07T20:24:00.000-08:00

I'm a salesperson at a large Ford and Hyundai store in Kirkland. I make a commission when I sell you a car new or used. There is a difference between a fresh inexperienced car sales person and a experienced one. There is also a big difference in a buyers agent and a sales person at a dealership. See what I saw when I was on a Buyers agents site;

Here was the Q and A

1. How does your service work?

The service is designed for very busy people who have no time, energy, or desire to shop for a car. For new cars, they have been to the dealers and know what they want in terms of the make, model, options, transmission, and color. For used cars, they are flexible in their requirements and have no time to shop on their own. They want to save valuable time and money during the shopping process.

2. Do you charge a fee?

Yes, as a "buyer's agent", a fee is charged to the client. The fee ranges from $325 to $375, depending on the employer group.

3. Do you assist with trades?

Yes. You are encouraged; however, to sell the vehicle on your own. In most cases you will come out at least $1000 ahead if you sell the vehicle on your own.

4. How much money can I expect to save by using your services?

Average savings on used cars equal $1000. Savings on new cars vary.

5. Is there a warranty with a used vehicle? Yes, the balance of the factory warranty transfers to you. If the vehicle warranty is expired, you may inquire about purchasing an extended warranty for the vehicle.

Ok, here is the difference. The Store I work at can do all the things the Buyers agent can not to.

Here is how I can help you.

Tell me what you want, I work in front of a computer and can search out vehicles throughout my dealer network. Plus I have a Used car buyer here I can ask to pick one up at the Auctions on line or in our area. We then bring it in and recondition it and do a Safety Inspection thus qualifying it for a additional Warranty upgrade option.

1. The Dealership will pay me a commission so the price you pay is the price you pay. No additional buyers fee. We do have a License and title clerk here to assist with the title transfer and registration. We do have a $2.50 admin fee for that and do do all the state and financial documentation we have a dealer Documentation fee just like every other dealership out there of $150. We collect the state tax here so it is a one stop shopping experience.

2. We can offer you the assistance with financing with just about any Bank or Credit Union in our Dealer network or assisting you with your lender. We work with the lenders to find one that will offer you the best rates and term, saving you the time and hassle of obtaining your own some times with our dealer financing we can do it at a lower rate than you could have.

3. We encourage trades, and you get a sales tax credit as long as it is not a lease. So this will mean you pay the tax on the difference on what the trade is worth and what your purchasing.

4. We offer a full range of Warranties and Maintenance packages as well as other products to protect your vehicle. Some cars come with the balance of the factory warranty, but at least you have an option to upgrade in your financing.

5. Because we have to price our cars by the market we often sell them for less than you can find it on places like Craigs list, Cars. com or Auto trader to name a few. And we also post our cars there too.

Bottom Line It is the price you pay and save. The experience and the trust you will be taken care of and not have worries after the car sale when buying from a reputable dealership.

I'm a Car Guy helping others get the Car they are looking for and have been selling Auto in this location on and off since 1996.

The best time to buy Used cars in Kirkland

2010-09-20T18:40:00.000-07:00

If your wondering when is the best tine to buy a used car, I can tell you how our system works in Kirkland Used Cars.

Most used car managers in the Seattle zone are on a days in stock turn. When the car ages they mark them down from what the market has been selling them to a price that will get it noticed to a bottom line price to help find them a home in the retail market. Our Kirkland Used car time line is within 60 days. When the calender month changes, so will the inventory.

Most other dealers carry a similar system to ensure they have fresh merchandise and are in the right price point for the vehicles carried. By having the right price, normally inventory is moved in the first few weeks. Every once and a while, a vehicle will make it past 45 days old, at that point it is mark down so it will sell. If not it is to taken to the Seattle Auto Auction or sold it to one of the dealers in our network.

The other way is to swing in to our lot, we are just off 405 Exit 20 A between 11800 and 11710 124th Ave Ne Kirkland, WA 98034 or call Dan Lozott @ (425) 295-6170

If you see big Green prices on the window, that is our way of merchandising it to sell without the need of a sales person to go look up our best price.

We then mark it on our home web site with a big Red Special price.

Any questions feel free to ask the "Internet Car Guy" Dan Lozott @ 425-295-6170

A Car Guy in Kirkland you can trust

2010-09-16T13:19:00.000-07:00

Are you in the Seattle area? Looking to buy a new Ford or a quality used car? I'm the Car Guy you can trust in. I have been selling new and pre-owned cars since March of 1996 in the Kirkland location just off 405 Exit 20A adjacent to 116th and 124th Ave NE Kirkland Wa 98034. I have also worked a few years in the Bellevue location just east of 405 corner of 4th and 116th Bellevue Wa. 98004 Some of you out there have followed me from Ford of Kirkland to Ford of Bellevue and Back again. I do appriciate you remembering on how I strive to make this a easy stress free experience.

Here are a couple reviews;

"We did a lot of research when we went to purchase our new car. We chose the Ford Focus because of its overall good rating for American made small cars and because of the sync system which allows me to make and receive phone calls hands free over the cars sound system. It also has a nice turn by turn direction feature. For a small car, the look is great, and the car feels really sturdy. I'm local to the Kirkland area and contacted Ford of Kirkland via the web. Dan Lozott, at FOK returned my inquiry promptly. He had several cars which were a good fit. Through a number of visits and test drives, Dan helped me to pick out the car that was right for my needs and fit my budget. I'm extremely happy with my experience and would recommend the nice folks at Ford of Kirkland and Dan Lozott to anyone who is in the market"

********
"The whole experience was great, stress-free and very easy. Dan was patient and answered every question I had during the entire process. Financing was a piece of cake as well and took the least amount of time during the day I came in and bought my vehicle.

"Working with Dan and the WHOLE EXPERIENCE with Ford Hyundai of Kirkland was EXCELLENT! Would highly recommend this dealership! Very professional, low pressure Hassle free, great location, has a super reputation, and great price... It was actually FUN! :-)"

*******

Bought a Focus 7 years ago. Traded it in today for a new one and they guys who helped me (Dan, Raliegh, Tyler, and Chris) were OUTSTANDING! Love, love, love this place. They all went the extra mile to get me into a new car w/ all the bells and whistles. I can't imagine any other place to deal with. I live in Seattle but will go back across the water for all my service too.

" I have always respected Dan Lozott (Internet sales) he sold me my truck in 1999 and has done a lot to make sure I was taken care. "

******

I purchased a 2011 Ford Mustang from Ford of Kirkland back in late July. From test-drive to paper-signing, the entire process was so easy it made me kick myself for not doing it sooner. When I walked into the dealership I was greeted by Gordon (I had an appointment with Dan, but arrived earlier than scheduled; rather than have me wait, Gordon took it upon himself to get me going on the test-drive!) who took note of what I was looking for ('11 Mustang GT), and went to go get keys for one to drive. We went on the test drive, came back, and Gordon suggested I might want to also test-drive the used GT500 they had in stock, as the pricing could be similar. So we went for a drive in that car. I decided during that drive that I wanted the 2011 instead. We got back, and after looking at some pricing and financing, I decided to sign up and purchase the car I'd test-driven. The whole process was SO easy, SO fast, and SO well taken care of, I could swear I'd just walked in and bought the most expensive thing on the lot. Everyone I interacted with made me feel like a king, and there weren't any shenanigans going on. I'm not one for five-star ratings, but this is a dealership that truly deserves it. My hat's off to the management here, you guys have the best people I've ever had the pleasure of doing business with, and for my next car purchase (probably the 50th anniversary Mustang in 2014!) you guys will be the first place I come to. Kudos, Ford of Kirkland, you've made my second new-car purchase a tough act to follow! See you again in 2014 :)

Carroll Shelby Swears At Ferrari, Debuts GT500 Snake Prudhomme Edition

2009-03-03T16:57:00.001-08:00

The video from the debut of the Shelby GT500 Super Snake Prudhomme Edition includes not only the wicked dragster-inspired 'Stang, but also a touch of Shelby's "wit" on display.
Some may not appreciate the $149,995 price tag, but for a super rare Shelby (just 100 examples) good for 750 HP with a fiberglass full-tilt front end, no rear seats and a quasi-drag setup this is one of the meanest street-legal vehicles to come with a warranty. Not to mention, it looks insane.

2010 Aston Martin One-77 - Auto Shows

We have reported endlessly, it seems, on the stunningly fast, stunningly expensive, and stunningly styled Aston Martin One-77 in advance of the car’s official unveiling, which has just taken place at the 2009 Geneva auto show. Now that the supercar is out of the bag, we have more details on the most ambitious automobile in the company’s history.
Race Car Inside
The One-77’s architecture was guided, Aston says, by the principles of front-engine/rear-drive touring-car racers, incorporating a carbon-fiber monocoque and a double-wishbone suspension that features inboard, pushrod-actuated dynamic shocks. And, as with race cars themselves, final suspension tuning that will be set once the vehicle is actually delivered to the owner for the ultimate in customization. Interestingly, Aston claims that the beauty of each mechanical component was considered as the One-77 progressed, not just its function. And having seen it in person now, we can personally vouch for the company’s efforts.

Ford Bucks Detroit Trend With 3 New Car Models

2009-03-02T13:12:00.001-08:00

The number of new models that will make a debut in 2009 will probably total fewer than 10, according to product plans revealed by the car companies.
“The environment is obviously not good as far as the economy and consumer confidence goes,” said Joseph Phillippi, principal in the firm Auto Trends Consulting.
Ford, however, is bringing out three new vehicles this year — the Fusion, with either a hybrid or conventional engine; the new Taurus sedan and the Transit Connect van.
Ford will introduce the Fusion Hybrid with an advertising campaign beginning Tuesday night on “American Idol.”

Maxximus G-Force: First (and Last) Glimpse of a 1600-hp Beast - Car News

2009-02-27T19:00:00.001-08:00

A gearhead fairy tale: a wistful mechanic and a wealthy benefactor create a 1600-hp Ultima-based road demon.
BY STEVE SILERThe invitation was brief, but intriguing. “Philanthropist and businessman David McMahan unveils the world’s newest, fastest, street legal supercar, officially certified by the World Records Academy. Please join us for breakfast and viewing this remarkable, beautifully crafted, one-of-a kind car, harnessing over 1600 horsepower.” Three eye-popping numbers that suggested that, if not the fastest, the G-Force might be one of the quickest cars in the world: 0–60 in 2.134 seconds; 0–100 in 4.541 seconds; 0–100–0 in 8.861 seconds.
We’re not sure if there is a real good way to harness 1600 hp, but if any car is going to be able to snatch “world’s fastest” status from the current titleholder, it’s going to need all the horsepower it can get. The record is currently held by, depending on who you ask, either the 1001-hp, 253-mph Bugatti Veyron 16.4 or the 1183-hp SSC Ultimate Aero (built by Shelby Supercars), the latter of which the Guinness Book of Records certified as the world’s fastest production car when it hit 256 mph in 2007. The 2009 Ultimate Aero now makes 1287 hp, for what it’s worth.
We arrived at the Peninsula Hotel in Beverly Hills, stood around the car’s satin-draped form, and waited, ready with questions. What is Maxximus? Where is it based? What exactly is under the hood of the G-Force? How much will it cost? How many will be built? And of course, when do we get to drive it? Within minutes, the regal Dr. McMahan wafted in, accompanied by Marion Kirby, the builder of the G-Force, to give us the answers.
The Ultimate Ultima
How does one build a car that beats the fastest cars in the world? Well, for an outfit as “mini” as Maxximus, starting with a solid basis was key. Kirby chose as his starting point Great Britain’s featherweight, mid-engine Ultima GTR720, which has been available as a kit or turnkey car in more or less the same form for a quarter of a century. The Ultima GTR is hardly new, but it’s always been quick. Our most recent GTR test happened way back in April 2000. An expensive car at $152,150 as tested, that example’s 345-hp Corvette-sourced LS1 V-8 powered the 2314-pound skateboard to a 3.3-second 0–60 time and an 8.2-second 0–100 time. It also pulled 0.98 g on the skidpad. Those are all impressive figures, even today. The later GTR720 uses a 720-hp small-block Chevrolet engine to generate acceleration figures that are among the best of all “production” street cars in history: 0–60 in 2.6 seconds, 100 mph in 5.3 seconds, and 0–100–0 in 9.4 seconds, according to Ultima.

World's cheapest car set for production. Emphasis on "cheap"

2009-02-27T18:53:00.001-08:00

Here's a good way to build a cheap car: take out the airbags, power steering, rear seat belts, anti-lock brakes, and most cylinders, all frills, and other standard safety equipment. Do that and you'll end up with a four-door, four-seater, 33-hp 2-cylinder car that you can sell to a hungry market with decidedly low expectations for about 100,000 rupees ($1,988). Which still seems kind of expensive when you consider that you can buy a new Kia Rio for $10,000.
Often called the Model T of the 21st century, the Tata Nano is expected to go into production for the growing Indian automotive market on March 23, with orders being accepted in April.
According to the company's website, "The Nano's safety performance exceeds current regulatory requirements." That may be true for India, but lack of seatbelts in the rear is enough to bar it from the U.S. market.
The EU may have more strict emissions standards that the U.S., but apparently tragically weaker safety standards, and the vehicle is expected to retail in Europe for 5,000 euros ($6,347) next year.
While Tata says it conforms with Euro IV emission standards, it doesn't say much in terms of crash tests. While we don't know what a Nano vs. Land Rover side impact test will look like, its diminutive size and weight (1300 lbs) means it it probably conforms nicely to European pedestrian safety laws,

FORD VERVE CONCEPT HINTS AT FORD’S FUTURE SMALL-CAR DESIGN VISION

2009-02-27T18:13:00.001-08:00

FRANKFURT , 23 August 2007 – Ford Verve Concept – a bold and colourful concept car to be revealed at the 2007 Frankfurt Motor Show – gives the first hints of Ford’s future small-car design vision. The significance of the Ford Verve Concept is that it's the first physical evidence of the design direction for an all-new small Ford since it was announced earlier this year that the European arm of the company's global Product Development group is taking the design and engineering lead in creating a new small-car portfolio for major world markets. The Ford Verve Concept is the first of three concept vehicles which will debut in key regions – Europe, Asia and North America. “Ford Verve Concept is presented here in Frankfurt as a bespoke concept car to generate reactions while our production plans are taking shape,” said John Fleming, President and CEO of Ford of Europe. “Our Design team took an unrestrained approach to how our future small cars could look, and this eye-catching concept was one of the results. If we get the reaction we expect, I’m certain that the team will incorporate elements of this advanced design vision into our final production design. This will make the next generation of small cars from Ford very compelling indeed.” read more...

An eye on Detroit: NAIAS '09 - Day 1

2009-02-27T18:05:00.001-08:00

Keeping an eye on the competition in Cobo today... guess which manufacturer's car this is from? Judging by the response of some auto makers, you'd have thought this year's Detroit autoshow wouldn't be worth the effort. However, judging by twitter chatter, mainstream news coverage and the response of people on the ground, hell hasn't actually frozen over (its only Detroit's pavements) and those that ventured to the Cobo Hall today for the start of the North American International Auto Show 2009, were rewarded with some treats and surprises. This show was always going to be about certain North American manufacturers proving to a skeptical American public they deserved bailout money, and for every other manufacturer, a chance to prove the auto industry wasn't actually on its knees, and could still deliver the vision, and kick-ass products that would make people open their wallets.

The new Ranger -Tough but not rough

2009-02-26T20:35:00.001-08:00

Information
Mission: New for 2009, the Ford Ranger gets a distinctive, muscular Tough Style exterior. With genuine class-leading TDCi power and performance, the compact pickup not only looks tough. It is tough.

Expect to see this headline describing the new Ford Ranger in the media soon. After all, it was a slogan coined by the journalists themselves during the regional media drive for the compact pickup in Thailand last week.

It was at the end of the first day of the drive and the journalists were thinking of words to describe the Ranger after listening to APA chief designer Paul Gibson’s presentation on the truck’s “Tough Style”.

Pretty? Elegant?

No, no, and no, said Gibson.

But they finally agreed on “tough but not rough”. Not rough and unrefined like a traditional agricultural workhorse but sleek and stylish with the polish of high-end quality products.

“The new face of the Ranger won’t be out of place in a parking lot in the mall, yet the styling’s also not too soft for the farm,” said the editor of a top motoring magazine in the Philippines. “The styling’s struck the right balance between the country and the city.” Read more

Car sellers looking to make a deal
By KENDALL WATSON
Kirkland Reporter Staff Writer

Tuesday, 2/10/2009 7:42 am

Amidst December’s heavy snow, Ford of Kirkland
dealer Jim Walen was busy brushing off his cars
and trucks and directing a snowplow to clear a path
for potential customers to reach his business.
Faced with fewer buyers with the economy in
recession, Walen and Ford Motor Company are
pulling out all the stops to get car and truck buyers
in the door. A combination of aggressive vehicle
pricing and financing, a “fuel-efficient” F-150 truck that gets up to 21
miles a gallon and award-winning customer service are the strategy
he hopes will get the dealership increasing sales again.
“There’s not a better time to buy a vehicle,” he said.
Nationally, Ford is doing better than U.S. competitors GM and
Chrysler and passing on emergency federal loans to stay afloat. But
nearly all auto retailers worldwide are seeing a steep downturn.
Ford’s sales were down 40 percent in January from a year earlier.
Weak consumer spending and tight credit markets are spurring the
auto makers to offer enticing deals and affordable loans to attract
new customers. Ford is projecting sales of around 12 million vehicles
for this year.
Back at Ford of Kirkland, Walen said the company’s latest promotion
called “Employee Plus” that ended Feb. 4 was successful. He said buyers were offered a discount “employee
price,” plus additional cash back rebates on a number of car models. They also offered zero-percent interest
financing for the new F-150 truck for customers who chose not to take the added cash back.
Long-term, Walen is relying on brand loyalty, customer service and a diverse range of vehicles that will sell in
a tough market. One of those new vehicles is the 2010 hybrid Ford Fusion (at 41 miles per gallon/highway),
designed to compete with Toyota’s hybrid Prius and Camry. With 27 of this year’s Fusion model still on his lot
(24 mpg/hwy), Walen said it’s time to make a deal.
“You start with the $27,000 price, employee pricing takes it down to $2,400 plus you get a discount on top of
that,” he explained.
The combined savings bring the total cost of the compact car down to $21,000.
Financing through their lending arm to customers with credit scores of 620 or better is also keeping Ford of
Kirkland chugging along. His top salesman, Todd Ireland, inked a contract for a used XLT Ford Ranger with
Issaquah resident Loren Matteson on a recent afternoon. Aretired union employee from a rock and gravel
plant, the 71-year-old and his wife have a steady retirement income and own their own home and qualified for
a low-rate loan.
“Financing is a big component of our business,” he said. “Now more than ever.”
Matteson said he was looking for an American made truck with four-wheel drive that could make it up his
steep driveway. A mixed blessing, the weather actually helped spur truck sales, Walen said, where Ford has
done comparatively well.
“Teamsters buy American,” Ireland added.
Taking care of their customers is also a central part of Walen’s business strategy. Service director Tom
Olsen, was recently recognized for the dealership’s top customer satisfaction ratings for the four year
running.
But doing business in the recession economy has challenged Ford of Kirkland to do more with less. New
numbers are showing city sales-tax receipts are trending sharply downward, off 19 percent for November.
Walen has seen sales from his lot plummet 25 percent from 2007, forcing him to cut back on his staff. Two
years ago, he had 92 employees. Today, he’s got 65 full-time staff. He’s also had to deal with an additional
$5,000 more in local business-taxes and set to go higher if he hires back employees.
“We wish they’d try to help business, rather than make us less competitive,” he said.
But there is a silver lining – as demand shrinks, Ford of Kirkland has seen his share of the market grow. They
sold 822 vehicles last year, the most in the state of Washington out of 74
Ford dealerships.
Sitting at his desk adorned with a large red “Easy Button,” Walen was confident that the investment made in
his customers through deep discounts, financing and customer service has its dividends in the long run.
“Taking care of every single customer pays you back down the road,” he said. “Big time.”

Ford of Kirkland is in the right place at the right time with our used car inventory

2009-02-11T12:07:00.001-08:00

I wanted to get the word out that Ford of Kirkland and the leadership of Jim Walen has positioned our store in the perfect place in what Jim calls the perfect storm. His goal for January was to go out and purchased 1 million dollars worth of used vehicles so we would have what the Seattle, Kirkland Redmond, Issaquah, Woodinville, Bellevue, Lynnwood, Lake City, and Bothell market was looking for. Jim Walen and Eric Clark went to our local car auction and even flew out of the area to go to some of the other West coast Auctions. He went on line to several Bank Auctions to get a great mix of quality pre-owned and leased vehicles. We are now ready with the best selection on the east side of Trucks, SUV's, crossovers and sedans.

This was just in the news today.

“Jim Farley, Ford's global marketing chief, said Wednesday that seasonally adjusted retail sales demand has held steady for the past four months. Meanwhile, the country's used car market has come "roaring back" since January.”

We have been ahead of this curve. That may be one of the biggest reasons Jim had put Ford of Kirkland at the top of the Washington Ford sales winning awards 4 years in a row and getting the #1 Ford volume award for 2008. We are looking forward to a great 2009.

Press Release - Ford Quality

2009-02-03T18:52:00.001-08:00

Ford's Warranty Repair Costs Decline Further in 2008 as Quality Continues to Improve
- Ford has reduced its worldwide warranty repairs costs by $1.2 billion in the past two years.
- The warranty repair rate for Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles in the U.S. is now almost 50 percent lower than it was in 2004.
- Since 2005, each new model from Ford has consistently delivered better quality than the models they replaced.

DEARBORN, Mich., Feb. 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Ford Motor Company's (NYSE: F) steady vehicle quality improvement in recent years is beginning to translate into significant savings for the company and far fewer trips by customers to the repair shop.

In the past two years alone, Ford has reduced its warranty repairs costs by $1.2 billion, according to the latest company figures. These savings can be attributed to four straight years of quality improvements on Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles. Ford's initial quality is now in a virtual tie with Honda-Acura and Toyota-Lexus-Scion for the 2008 model year, according to the latest U.S. Global Quality Research System (GQRS) study.

Ford strives to be best in class in every phase of vehicle development - from design to pre-delivery - internal measures continue to show the company is making significant quality strides.

For example:

-- The warranty repair rate for Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles in the United States is now almost 50 percent lower than it was in 2004.

-- Ford F-Series Super Duty and Lincoln Mark LT rank atop their respective segments with fewest "things gone wrong" (TGW) and in customer satisfaction.

-- Ford Mustang GT500 had the least number of TGWs among sports cars.
-- Overall, 18 of 24 Ford domestic brand vehicles posted TGW improvements.

"Ford is following a set of standardized processes around the world in product development, manufacturing and purchasing with a discipline this company has never seen," said Bennie Fowler, Ford group vice president, Global Quality.

Continued Improvements

The drive to improve quality is most evident during a new-model launch. Since 2005, each new model from Ford has consistently delivered better quality - as measured by warranty rates and things-gone-wrong metrics - than the models they replaced.

"The last 24 months have revealed some of our best quality results," said Curt Yun, director, Global Warranty. "Our new models have been achieving continuously declining warranty repair rates and lower warranty costs, as a direct result of our overall quality improvements."

In the U.S., for example, owners of Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles have reported fewer concerns at three years in service for each of the past five years, according to the Global Quality Research System (GQRS) survey, compiled for Ford by the research firm RDA Group.

"We've reached the point where our initial quality is second to none among the full-line manufacturers," said Fowler. "We expect that high quality to be reflected in future high-mileage surveys as our new models age."

Built-in Design Quality

Ford's Global Product Development System ensures quality is built-in early in the process. It starts with the company's commitment to develop and implement consistent standardized engineering processes. By fully utilizing Computer Assisted Design toolsets, Ford is signing off on all aspects of its designs even before the first prototype is built.

Ford's design and engineering analysis processes make it possible for problems that previously might not have surfaced until launch to be flagged and corrected in the virtual world. Ford uses cutting edge virtual tools to verify up to 40,000 design standards in its Virtual Engineer Lab. Virtual technology also is used to confirm that the product can be manufactured with quality in the assembly plant for which it is slated.

Manufacturing Quality Process

Ford also provides assembly plant teams the necessary tools to deliver quality in the manufacturing process. For example, the company's Quality Operating System (QOS) is critical for identifying and correcting problems within the manufacturing facilities.

QOS is implemented in each plant by Variability Reduction Teams (VRT) - cross-functional groups of engineers, plant management and product specialists, including the company's most skilled problem solvers who've been trained through Six Sigma. Each team is assigned to one of 12 vehicle subsystems crucial to customer satisfaction, such as paint or body interior, and examines every detail, looking for imperfections so slight that even the untrained eye, or ear, could not detect them.

For example, Ford's 2010 Taurus was subjected to rigorous testing for squeaks and rattles at each design phase. Every inch of the vehicle was scrutinized for unwanted noise from the outside in, down to the sound of the Easy Fuel(TM) Capless Fuel Filler door when it's closed.

Another example includes the development of Ford's new fuel-efficient 3.5- liter EcoBoost V-6 engine. By the time the first twin-turbocharged, direct injection engine is decked to a 2010 Lincoln MKS this summer at the Chicago Assembly Plant, the equivalent of more than one-million grueling test miles will have been logged by EcoBoost prototypes.

Ford also uses a process called Early Claims Binning to help streamline communications about potential quality issues between plants and dealerships. Warranty claims are fed to the assembly plant every day where the issue is dissected and either traced back to the installation process and addressed on-site or fed back to the design engineer for resolution in design.

Customer-driven Quality

Ford's commitment to deliver the best quality possible for its customers is unwavering and the company is committed to pushing its quality levels even higher.

As Ford's newest vehicles hit the road, company officials expect warranty claims to continue their downward trend.

"I see the recent $1.2 billion in worldwide warranty cost savings as a compelling reason to continue down this path," Yun said. "Instead of setting aside those funds to fix cars, we'd much rather invest it in exciting product programs for our customers."

Ford's commitment to world-class quality extends beyond preventing things that go wrong. Customer-driven product features, such as fuel economy, craftsmanship, and quiet interiors are designed into the vehicle to deliver an exceptional and affordable ownership experience.

"This is One Ford at its best," said Fowler. "It has taken thousands of dedicated people, from the plant floor to the executive suite, working together to strive for quality every day."

Auto industry and new challenges ahead

2009-01-26T16:24:00.001-08:00

In the news today it looks like not only are we looking at better ways to get better fuel efficient cars, our president has increased the speed that we will be making that change.

On Monday Jan 26th 2009, Obama ordered new guidelines in place to start affecting cars sold in 2011. Obama Directs Regulators to Tighten Auto Rules

Obama directed his administration to get moving on new fuel-efficiency guidelines for the auto industry in time to cover 2011 model-year cars.
A law passed by Congress in 2007 requires that by 2020, new cars and trucks meet a standard of 35 miles per gallon, a 40 percent increase over the status quo. But the Bush administration did not set regulations in support of that law.
Industry officials have also said they would face billions of dollars in new costs to meet the rules at a time when General Motors Corp. and Chrysler LLC have received billions in federal loans to stay afloat.

Mean while we are loosing dealers at an alarming rate.

About 2,500 U.S. auto dealers may close in 2009, or more than 10 percent of the nation's car and light-truck retailers.

General Motors Corp., Ford Motor Co., and Chrysler LLC said about 988 of their auto dealerships closed or were consolidated last year.

GM, Ford, Chrysler Lost About 988 Auto Dealers During 2008

Ford saw around 300 dealers shutter their doors last year. Chrysler had 287 U.S. dealers close last year.

Not to mention there will be a shedding of some of the nation's largest auto-parts makers are planning for potential bankruptcy filings. Auto Supplier Industry May Ask for Bailout Money

Here at Ford of Kirkland we are doing just the opposite, while others in our industry are contracting, we are expanding. We have added used cars to our lot this week bringing our inventory up by 30% .We will be getting more new vehicles than any other Washington Ford dealer, Jim Walen our dealer owner principle said, “we will do all we can to be # 1 in our region and Jim will will be on hand to make sure we are a viable business in 2009”.

I want to be your car guy!

Due to the ever changing car market, it’s nice to work for a dealership you know will be around for a while. This will be my 3rd time @ Ford of Kirkland. The biggest reason for coming back was the inventory selection is the best in the Pacific Northwest. The second reason is the dealership is now on the 4th year in a row to get the top honor from Ford motor company called the Precedence Award for excellence. They have done this by being in the top for sales and service from judged by our customers. Also in being top in sales for the area and meeting the market share for the zone. I personally like to have satisfied customers, knowing they appreciate our service to them when they come make a purchase or need to use our service department for maintenance. Moving forward I know Ford & Ford of Kirkland will be a viable company. The big three have had some struggles in the past and here at Ford of Kirkland they actually are investing in more inventories both new and used. This is faith that we will be able to sell more cars, help the public get a good buy and actually make a living doing this.

Some of the friends I met in the business

2008-11-07T19:22:00.001-08:00

I can not thank the following for all they have taught me;

Leith Ledger one of my first mentors in the car business was the best man in my wedding. I also had Mike Fulmer from Evergreen Ford was also in my wedding, what a great guy with always a great outlook on life. Nick Pappas and his Brother Chris for the best closes and word tracts. Roger Botton, who always said he would rather owe it to me than to cheat me out of it. Cliff Pecknold who was like a Father to me in the car business.

More about me:

2008-11-07T15:37:00.001-08:00

I have Worked full time since the age of 12 as a paper boy, paying taxes since 15. Some of my red neck jobs; Janitor assistant at the local High School Granite Falls. Machine shop handy man, The local 76 station were I pumped gas. Mink Ranch hand, Chicken picker, Fish Farm handy man, I also worked for Tramco now called Goodrich were I helped prep Airplanes for paint & worked in the shipping department.

I decided I wanted to be a sales man so went to Seattle training academy for special training in sales, store operations and landed a job at the local Mall. I started out spending 13 years as a "Shoe dog" and now a 13 years as a "Car Guy" in the Car Business.

I worked for Nordstrom’s as a Shoe salesman for about 7 years, I worked in Corte Medera, San Francisco Center in as a Sales Manager then coming back home and working at Bellevue Square. Before that Butler shoes from 1985 with my promotions I traveled to Santa Rosa, Stones town Galleria. I worked at the Hayward Mall during the Big Earthquake California in 1989 .

I started my career in the car business at Ford of Kirkland, when Maria Smith back owned it starting in March of 1996 after working in the Jewelry business in the Alderwood Mall. Then in 1999 Auto Nation bought her stores, at this time I was in the Internet selling department. This is were I learned how to type and work with a computer as I saw customers wanted to e-mail us for price quotes to learn more about the vehicle purchasing options before coming in to the store. I still use 3 fingers and need to look at the key board & have dyslexia so my spelling is , well : (

Then in November of 2001 a handful of us transferred to Prestige Ford in Bellevue. Later it was changed to Ford of Bellevue.

In February of 2005 I went to work with my friends at Auto Loan USA in Lake City were I worked as a loan officer for what is called "special finance customers" I did this for 2 months and found I enjoy the process of selling a car that a customer wants not just the loan package.

I went back to Ford of Kirkland in April of 2005, as it had a new owner and I thought I could re-connect with some of the customers I sold cars to from 1996 to 2001. I worked there from April 05 to November 07.

I now work for Ford of Bellevue since March of 2008 where I have also re-connected with customers as well as co-workers from my past. E-mail me @ lozottd@autonation.com or Carguydanl@gmail.com

I will say the friends I have made in the car business have been close and we are a good bunch of people.
