Elite Commercial Service Centers are part of an all-new network of dedicated large-bay service hubs at Ford™ dealers across the country. These service facilities are designed around the needs of commercial customers and will feature state-of-the-art equipment, extended hours,
mobile service vans, Elite-trained technicians and electric vehicle certification. Ford Pro aims to open more than 100 such facilities by 2027.
An estimated 32 million commercial vehicles are on the road across North America. According to studies, nearly half of businesses surveyed are extending the life cycles of their vehicle fleets2, while over half of commercial fleets reported two or more unscheduled maintenance
events per month with vehicles out of service for about two days on average.
“We’ve heard from Phoenix businesses that they needed more options to help keep their vehicles up and running, and we’re responding by meeting their needs,” said Steve Countryman, General Manager, Chapman Ford. “Our Ford Pro Elite Commercial Service Center has longer hours, better training and equipment, bigger service bays, mobile service options and can service nearly any vehicle – all to help our customers keep serving their customers.”
“Ford Pro knows that vehicle downtime means lost revenue. Together with Chapman Automotive Group, we’re working to keep vehicles on the road by combining exceptional service with advanced software to improve uptime and potentially lower costs,” said Anne Mazzacano,
General Manager, Ford Pro Service Elite. “Our goals are 100% uptime and for a customer’s vehicles to be down for the shortest time possible. And Elite Commercial Service Centers will help deliver on those goals for commercial customers in Phoenix and beyond.”
Ford Pro was the first to market with vehicle services fully dedicated to commercial and government customers of all sizes and vocations and has more than 650 specialized Commercial Vehicle Centers (CVC) dealers across the U.S. The Elite Commercial Service Center program is an all-new extension of that strong network of commercial vehicle expertise.
The first Elite Commercial Service Center opened in January 2023, with additional centers opening and breaking ground throughout the year. Much like Ford Pro Commercial Vehicle Centers, Elite Commercial Service Centers will also offer Mobile Service, expanding the footprint of service to where Ford Pro’s customers work. Ford has the largest Mobile Service fleet of any full-line automaker in the U.S., with over 3,100 launched Mobile Service units.
The Ford Pro suite of commercial vehicle parts and service solutions also includes competitive parts pricing on eligible Ford and Motorcraft mechanical parts for eligible regional and national fleets; complimentary enrollment in the Ford Pro Fleet Network providing discounts, training benefits and cash back on parts; transferrable extended service plans honored at all Ford dealers in North America5; and the Ford Liive™ Connected Uptime System using telematics data for fast vehicle diagnosis and resolution.
Ford Pro, a global business and brand backed by Ford, delivers an always-on, connected customer experience through a comprehensive solution of vehicles, charging, software, financing and service for all commercial and government customers.
