Third Generation Car Dealer Follows in the Family Footsteps


CALGARY, Alberta, May 04, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Wood Automotive Group is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr. Cailean Wood as General Manager, Advantage Ford, Calgary. Most recently Cailean served as Sales Manager at Big 4 Motors, the group’s Chrysler/Jeep dealership.

“As a young teenager I washed cars and pulled weeds at Okotoks Ford,” says Cailean.  “It’s an honour for me to follow my grandfather James, my father Gerry and my brother Rory as a dealership general manager and Advantage Ford is the perfect place.”  The dealership just celebrated its 23rd anniversary and recently completed a major renovation adding more showroom space, more service bays and a new drive through service centre offering no appointment oil changes.

“Advantage Ford is a performance vehicle specialist and we have one of Alberta’s best selections of Mustang GTs and F-150 Raptors,” says Cailean. “Along with our other Ford vehicles like the Escape, Focus and Explorer you might say we’re built for comfort and affordability but with a need for speed.”
