Here at Holiday, we try our best to get involved with community events and charities, and it extends beyond providing sponsorship money and having our name listed. We’re not afraid to roll up our shirt sleeves and really volunteer when the time is right, and this week it was. What was the occasion? The Fond du Lac area United Way put on a Week of Sharing, in which local businesses got together and provided volunteer time to help organizations in need of a hand.  Read the rest of this entry »

2015 Ford Fiesta Fond du Lac WI

Does the Ford Fiesta come with automatic transmission?

We’ve got to say, the 2015 Ford Fiesta is really looking like it’s going to be a big hit with drivers who want something new and exciting this year without going crazy on the price. It can be a difficult balance to strike — You want today’s latest style and features, but you’re not ready for a high-end purchase. Some people are encouraging you to go used — and it’s not a bad idea — but ultimately if you want something with that new car smell you shouldn’t be detracted. If you’re thinking the Fiesta might be the way to go, you might have some questions. What features are offered on the base model? Does the Ford Fiesta come with automatic transmission? We can answer all your questions for you here at Holiday Ford in Fond du Lac!  Read the rest of this entry »

It’s no secret that here at Holiday Ford we are really looking forward to the upcoming arrival of the new 2015 Ford F-150 in Fond du Lac. This redesigned truck is taking Ford’s already-winning formula for putting together a pickup that’s tough and ready for anything and upping the ante in some really exciting ways, such as military-grade aluminum alloy replacing hundreds of pounds of steel in the body, and an improved engine lineup. One thing that a redesigned truck will always have to prove to drivers is that its up to the toughest challenges, and that’s why the 2015 Ford F-150 testing process has been and continues to be so rigorous.  Read the rest of this entry »

Oil changes at Holiday

At Holiday Automotive we see a lot of vehicles come in and out of our service center. When our happy customers leave, though, they don’t always take everything with them. No, we don’t mean they leave their phone or sweater –  we mean those customers who come in for oil changes at Holiday leave behind the oil that we replace for them. So, what? Well ordinarily that oil would be disposed of at a facility and we’d never hear from it again. Here we do something a little different with it! Read the rest of this entry »

Last month, we proudly held the Drive 4 UR Community event at the FIVES Giddings & Lewis building, where we helped raise funds for the Fond du Lac Area United Way through Ford’s generous program. During that event, every test drive taken in a new Ford model stood for another $20 donation from Ford to our local United Way at no cost to the test drivers other than the short time it took to take one of our great models out for a spin and learn more about it! Now we’re at it again in September with Drive 4 UR School in Fond du Lac – this time to benefit St. Mary’s Springs High School! Read the rest of this entry »

How often should you clean your fuel system?

Chances are you consider yourself a pretty good vehicle owner –  and we know you are. You get your oil changed when it’s time for its regular appointment (or close enough, right?), you drive carefully to reduce wear and tear, and you get your tires rotated to keep them in good shape longer. That’s all great, but we wonder: when was the last time you had some maintenance done on your fuel system? Yes, that’s a thing, and it’s one you might do well to look into depending on the mileage on your vehicle. How often should you clean your fuel system? The fact is that it varies from vehicle to vehicle and you should definitely consult your owner’s manual or our service center for an answer that’s tailored to your vehicle and driving habits.

Ford C240 Release Date

Is there a new Ford hybrid on the horizon? We’ve been hearing from various news sources online that there may be an entire lineup of body styles based around a new hybrid model that’s being referred to as the Ford C240 –  though the name will almost certainly change if were are in fact to get this model in production. As for a Ford C240 release date, that’s fairly hard to say since Ford isn’t one to comment on speculation about future models, but from what we’ve gathered we might be able to expect the new hybrid line as early as 2018.
