I want to give a huge shout out to Grapevine Ford. It is because of the great people there that we have our 2016 Ford Transit van that I am so stinkin’ excited about. You can read the full story about how we got our van here. I am so thankful. Every time I walk out to get in my van I’m just overcome. It is awesome!
When we were car shopping, we found out quickly that every dealership is NOT the same. We stopped by several that I just cringe over the experience there, but what stands out to me is that Grapevine Ford is the only one that tried to help me get what I wanted and didn’t just tell me what they thought I should want.
I was surprised to find out that Grapevine Ford offers a New Owners Dinner and my whole family was invited. I did ask twice, but yes, they said all seven of us could come. Free dinner? Prizes? You know we were there. Ha ha!
It was such a fun night of great food catered by Esparza’s. They took our drink orders and brought us chips and queso while we waited for everyone to arrive.
Then we went through the food line. Isn’t it gorgeous?
Next there was a short presentation talking about various aspects of our new cars and explaining that there are free classes to come learn more. And then there was a drawing for prizes. I was so excited our number was called. We won a free detailing! And with five kids, you know we’ll need it!
But the New Owner’s Dinner wasn’t all. They have an awesome service center. I was excited to learn that the service department matches coupons for oil changes. Inside there is free Wi-Fi, kid’s room, and cafe to enjoy while you wait.
And one of my favorite things is that the Grapevine Ford service center offers a free car wash once a month when your purchase your car there. We’ve now had it washed twice. I love to see it sparkling!
No, all car dealerships are not the same, but wow I am impressed with Grapevine Ford! It is a great place to buy a new car!

Great story! It sounds like your whole family had a good time throughout the buying experience 🙂
Sounds like a great experience. As a family of 6, we especially appreciate companies that are kiddo & family friendly too. I love that the offer family dinners–what a fun idea 🙂
