This week marks the opening of Rathfarnham Ford on Whitechurch Road, which sees the return of the blue oval to the Rathfarnham area and brings with it employment for 20 people. The outlet is being headed up by Aidan Kane, a well known figure to Ford customers in the locality with almost 20 years of car retailing under his belt.
Rathfarnham Ford is located on the site of the previous South Dublin Ford Centre. With a modern showroom and dedicated service area, the full-service dealership will cater for new and used car and commercial vehicle sales, as well as providing a complete service offering and a full range of parts for Ford and other makes.
Rathfarnham Ford is part of the Fort Motor Group which celebrated 50 years in business in 2009.
The opening coincides with Ford's Open Event promotion which offers a range of special packages for customers who order their 2012 Ford within a limited period. These include free extended warranty, servicing and roadside assistance for up to four years in the case of the Mondeo, C-MAX, S-MAX and Galaxy, or an low 2.9 per cent APR loan rate for prospective Fiesta and Focus customers. The 2.9 rate is provided by Ford's own finance house, FordCredit.
