Al Jazirah Vehicles dedicates first ever showroom and service complex in Al Gassim

The grand opening took place under the patronage of His Royal Highness Prince Faysal bin Bandar bin Abdul Aziz, Governor of Al Gassim, in the presence of hundreds of local VIP guests and Ford Middle East officials.

Sheikh Abdullah bin Fahad Al Kraidees, president of Al Jazirah Vehicles Agencies Co., said: "When we inaugurated our second showroom on Riyadh's Al Takhassosy Street last month, we promised our customers a major expansion plan for Al Jazirah Vehicles across the Kingdom."

"Our grand opening in Buraydah delivers on our promise, not only to bring our customers world-class Ford and Lincoln products, but also to offer them the best possible ownership experience through world-class facilities," Al Kraidees added.

Located on King Abdul Aziz Road in Buraydah, the 7,000 square-metre facility is a fully integrated showroom (1,260m2), service and parts (2,450m2) centre under one roof, equipped to the latest Ford standards.

The service centre is manned by a team of Ford-trained technicians and incorporates 26 service bays, while the parts centre ensures round-the-clock availability of genuine Ford spare parts for customers.

"The significance of this new facility lies precisely in the joint dedication of Al Jazirah Vehicles and Ford Motor Company to our Saudi customers," said Jim Benintende, managing director of Ford Middle East. "From the large showroom to the vast service area and, of course, the team of employees, this facility clearly expresses the commitment and dedication of Al Jazirah Vehicles to the Saudi consumer.

"It is a pleasure to witness this demonstration of confidence in the Ford and Lincoln brands and I'm delighted to be part of this grand opening," added Benintende. "Our congratulations go to the Al Jazirah Vehicles family and we wish them every success in their future plans."

On the occasion of the grand opening, Al Jazirah Vehicles is offering free service - up to 60,000km for Ford and up to 80,000km for Lincoln - for new customers purchasing vehicles from the new Al Buraydah dealership. The offer is valid until May 16, 2003.

Existing customers can also take their Ford or Lincoln vehicle for a free 'health check' and a free oil and filter change up to March 31, 2003.

The new Al Jazirah Vehicles Agencies dealership facility in Buraydah is open everyday except Fridays from 8:30am to 1:00pm and 4:30pm to 8:30pm.
