Commercial Auto Dealers

The 2011 S&S Masterpiece is everything a coach should be. This top of the line hearse comes in two models. The S&S Masterpiece Commercial Glass Coach is an extraordinary vehicle with a superbly magnificence history behind its story. The S&S Masterpiece with Limousine Windows and a Tiara Band is impressively stylish and everything you’d expect it to be with a name like that.

First, what is “commercial glass”?

In the early days of coachbuilding, engineers designed a hearse on a commercial chassis. This took a great deal of ingenuity since the hood was a base Cadillac design with front fenders and a chassis. S&S maintains this tradition of historic craftsmanship by starting with a heavy-duty Cadillac chassis and removing the body and windows. They replace those with the dignity of a hearse body and high “commercial glass” windows. These features give the Masterpiece all the room funeral directors need for stately caskets and flower arrangements. It truly is a masterpiece.

The S&S Masterpiece with Limousine Windows and a Tiara Band is elegant, stylish and a profound work of craftsmanship just as the commercial glass is. It features the industry’s widest opening loading doors, as all S&S coaches do, built from galvanized steel and designed to last a lifetime.

S&S has been building funeral coaches since 1876, long before automobiles took over where the horse and carriage left off.

S&S limousines are beautiful, stately, elegant and full of grandiose comfort from top to bottom. You can’t go wrong when you start with a Cadillac chassis. If you have the skill and experience that S&S brings to the table then you end up with a best of class vehicle superior to everything the competition has to offer – like the 2011 S&S Masterpiece.

The 2010 Chevrolet Colorado is one pickup that is as beautiful to look at as it is to drive. If you are a pickup lover then you’ll enjoy driving this vehicle.

Estimated fuel efficiency is 20 mpg in the city and 23 on the highway. The Vortec 5.3-liter engine is a super V8 engine with awesome fuel efficiency and the Vortec 2.9-liter engine can deliver up to 25 mpg.

The Colorado’s rugged appearance makes it practical as well as drivable. You get true off-road capability with 17″ chrome-clad wheels and a high stance.

You get a choice between two-wheel drive or four-wheel drive. With the four-wheel drive you can have the Insta-Trac system, which allows you to shift between two-wheel and four-wheel drive seamlessly. You can also opt for the Z71 model and get even better off-road capability and ruggedness.

For safety, the 2010 Chevrolet Colorado includes Automatic Crash Response, a standard that Chevy drivers have come to love. You also get air conditioning and cruise control as standard features. Other safety features include:

• 4-wheel anti-lock brakes
• Head-curtain side impact air bags
• StabiliTrak with Traction Control

The Colorado also comes with a 5-year 100,000 mile warranty. If you want a tough truck that rides well then this is it.

This month as part of the Local Partner Program at Faulkner-Ciocca Truck Center we are proud to spotlight Benner Memorial Hall in Richlandtown, PA. Benner Hall boasts an impressive 6000sq feet of space. A working kitchen and the ability to seat up to 300 people makes it an ideal facility for any large scale gathering, like a wedding, but the small town charm also keeps it appropriate for any smaller get together.

Before we dive deeper into Benner Hall, and this month’s Local Partner Coupon, we wanted to update everyone on last month’s Local Partner PROJECT PROS, a General Contractor in Quakertown, is going to be on Extreme Home Makeover! The filming is underway, so keep an eye out for Joey Smith on upcoming episodes!

Benner Hall is run by the Richlandtown Parks and Recreation Committee. Over the past few years, the committee has been working diligently to update and renovate the building, making it an even better facility for the community to use. In recent history, an entire heating and air conditioning system was installed and a new stage was constructed. Cosmetic upgrades including a new ceiling and paint job enhance the atmosphere inside the building. The newly constructed stage area is a perfect place for a DJ or band to settle in for an evening of fun and dancing, or to set up an in-house ceremony for a wedding. The outdoor area has a pavilion with picnic benches and playground equipment, which makes for a lovely setting for a summer picnic! Learn more about renting Benner Hall and find out what the rates are.

This month as part of the Local Partner Program, Benner Hall is offering Faulkner-Ciocca Truck Center Insiders & the local Quakertown community a coupon for discounted Hall rentals. Benner Hall is offering a 10% discount on weekday base rentals and a 15% discount on weekend base rentals! You can take advantage of this offer by becoming a Faulkner-Ciocca Truck Center Insider OR by connecting with FCC on Facebook. The coupon will go out to all FCC Insiders via email later this month and it will also be located within the Photos tab of the FCC Facebook page. You can learn more about our FREE Insider Program within the Faulkner-Ciocca Truck Center Email Insider Program below.

Richlandtown Borough is planning on building a new recreation center behind Benner Hall. The focal points of the project are to build a new, safe, ADA compliant playground and a walking trail to loop the 10 acre property. The all volunteer Parks and Recreation Board has been raising money through fundraising, events, and grants. They currently have secured about $240,000 in cash, grants, and in-kind services. They are looking for additional funding from local residents, businesses, and grant makers. If you would like to contribute, please visit the Benner Hall website (where you can view a video about the project), call the Borough Office at 215-538-9290, or e-mail fundraising@bennerhall.com.

Benner Memorial Hall is located at 1260 E. Cherry Road in Richlandtown, PA. You can contact Benner Hall staff at 215-538-2444. You can also connect with Benner Hall on Facebook & follow Benner Hall on Twitter to stay up-to-date on all of the latest Benner Hall events & news.

So you’ve headed down to your Ford commercial truck dealer and you’ve picked up a new truck. Maybe you sprung for the upgraded options package, maybe you’ve had a new addition to the family and needed more space quickly, or maybe you’re just frugal. In any case, if you want to save money on the maintenance of your new commercial truck, there are a lot of things you can do on your own. Here are some to get you started.

Replace your tires.

Replacing the tires on your commercial truck isn’t difficult. You only need your owners’ manual and a few basic tools to do this — you’ll probably have these tools in your car or garage anyway. This can come in really handy when you’re switching tires for seasonal reasons, or when you’re just rotating them for even wear.

Change your oil.

Changing your oil is a fairly simple process. The only reason most people don’t do it is because disposal is sometimes inconvenient — this isn’t something you can just pour down the drain. If you’re looking to save a little bit of money, though, you can certainly do it on your own. Just make sure to check with your city or town to find out what the local bylaws are for disposing of the old oil.

Deal with your fluids.

Most of your fluids can be easily accessed on your own. You could take your commercial truck back to the dealership’s service center to check and top up your fluids, or you can do it in your own garage. You can check our engine coolant, your windshield washer fluid, your engine oil and more. As long as you’ve got a funnel handy, you can get these dealt with easily and cheaply without even getting out of your pajamas.

Facebook recently announced that they have over 500 million users; easily making it the largest social network on the planet. Some Innovators in the Funeral Industry are already leveraging Facebook for business, like ConnectingDirectors.com; the first online funeral publication and networking site. Funeral home owners can use online tools like Facebook to reach customers & prospects and educate them on their services. Facebook is also a great tool for driving traffic to your funeral home website. In this post, like other recent articles on Funeral Homes using social media, we will dive into why Facebook makes sense as a marketing channel for funeral home owners and funeral directors, as well as, how you can leverage Facebook for your funeral home.

Facebook provides business owners with a platform for reaching people, engaging them in discussions around products & services, and turning them into customers. It’s a great platform for speading your online content. Do you blog about your funeral home, create Flickr Slide Shows for your customers, or shoot YouTube videos about your Funeral Services? If so, Facebook is a great platform for promoting that online content to your connections.

Here are a few ways that Funeral Home owners can leverage a business page on Facebook:

• The first steps are to fill out relevant information about your company, add links to the Website section within Facebook to help drive traffic to your online real estate, and add branding elements to your Facebook business page.
• Promote funerals under Facebook Events — I know we have to tread lightly here because of the sensitive nature of a funeral. If it’s positioned as a way to help your customers easily provide funeral information to friends & family, then it becomes a useful tool for funeral home owners.
• Create a FBML page for your Facebook business page – FBML pages allow you to create custom Facebook pages. You can put any relevant information about your business on these pages. You can also create more than one. Custom Facebook pages change the Facebook experience for your connections — in a positive way.
• Engage your Facebook Connections — If you produce online content, say through a blog or videos, you can post links to those articles/videos on your Facebook Wall and then write a sentence or two describing the article/video. Be sure to elicit feedback from your Facebook connections. When someone leaves a comment, be sure to respond, and even ask yet another question — keeping the conversation going. The goal is to engage as many of your connections as possible. Engagement helps build relationships.

As you can see from reading the information above, Facebook offers funeral home owners a platform for connecting with their target audience. Not only is it the largest social network out there, but it’s absolutely free. All that it takes is a time investment. If you’re looking for ways to promote your funeral home and communicate with customers and prospects, then consider creating a Facebook business page for your funeral home today.

If you’re looking for a superior funeral coach then the 2010 Superior Diplomat Lincoln is about as upscale as you can get. This is class, luxury and superior quality all rolled into one.

Superior is synonymous with comfort. It always has been. But the 2010 Superior Diplomat from Lincoln takes that to a new level.

The 2010 Chevrolet Tahoe LS is America’s first full-size hybrid SUV and, I might add, it’s quite impressive. Automakers boast that its fuel efficiency is better than Toyota Sequoia, Ford Expedition and Nissan Armada. As well, it offers more power than the Ford Expedition.

The two-mode electric engine is efficient and clean with a smooth acceleration and regenerative braking, which helps to recharge the battery every time you press on the brake. This could easily be one of the most important hybrid vehicles to the hit the market in a long time.

For fuel efficiency you get 21 mpg in the city and 22 mpg on the highway. That’s not only good for an SUV, but it’s good all around.

The standard engine on the Tahoe LS is a Vortec 5.3-liter V8 that kicks out 320 horsepower and 335 pound feet of torque. You also get your choice of 2-wheel or 4-wheel drive.

Other standard features include

• 9 passenger seating
• Premium cloth seats
• Tri-zone manual climate controls
• CD/MP3 player
• USB port
• XM Radio with 3 free trial months
• 17″ aluminum wheels

The 2010 Chevrolet Tahoe LS also comes equipped with a premium smooth ride suspension so it goes easy over the bumps. And automatic locking rear differential is available as is a heavy duty trailering package if you want to tow up to 8,500 pounds (8,200 on the 4WD).

The airbag system offers plenty of protection for all passengers and for added safety features you get traction control with greater stability, proactive roll avoidance and 4-wheel anti-lock brakes.

For security, the 2010 Chevrolet Tahoe LS provides a rearview camera and ultrasonic rear parking assist, which sends an audible signal when in reverse if there are obstacles behind the vehicle. You do have to be moving at a low speed, however, to hear the signal.

Other technological advancements are available as options, including a power sunroof.

IRVINE, Calif. — The Ford F-150 took the top spot in an all-new full-size pickup comparison test, “First to Worst: Kbb.com Ranks Five Full-Size Pickups,” by the expert editors from Kelley Blue Book’s www.kbb.com, the leading provider of new car and used car information.

The kbb.com editors lauded the F-150 not only because it was outstanding in all areas, but because it offered a well-rounded, thoroughly developed package that does everything to a high standard, saying, “If you can’t find something here to suit your fancy, you need to look again.” In addition to winning high marks in driving dynamics due to its enhanced level of ride and handling, the F-150 earned praise from the kbb.com editors for both its exterior and interior styling, noting that it strikes “a nice blend of the style and function that should define a pickup.” The F-150 also scored well because it is the only pickup in the segment to offer Roll Stability Control^™ and AdvanceTrac^® electronic stability control on the standard model.
 

For years, the best-selling vehicles in America were full-size pickup trucks, led by the Ford F-150. Even now, with fuel costs pinching family finances, pickups are still very popular, and not just with those buyers who need utility for work. Much of pickups’ appeal with buyers is based as much on image as function, yet they continue to roll off the assembly lines, onto showroom floors and into driveways. As such, the kbb.com editors took a look at five popular full-size pickups, excluding the various “Heavy Duty” or “Super Duty” models (which are really intended for harder work and heavier loads), put them through a comprehensive comparison test and ultimately ranked them from “first to worst.”

Brakes are one of the most important parts of your Ford commercial truck. You use them every time you drive, and they keep you safe on the road by helping you avoid accidents. Caring for your brakes is an important part of regular maintenance on our truck.

Part of caring for your Ford commercial truck brakes is maintaining your brake fluid. Most of today’s trucks have a reservoir of brake fluid that you can see without even having to open up the cap. The brake fluid reservoir will be located toward the back of the engine bay on the driver’s side, up high where it’s easy to access.

After you’ve located the reservoir, you should look to see if there are markings on the side. These markings tell you what level your fluid is at.

If your brake fluid is low, it may be time to add some more. Start by cleaning the reservoir area thoroughly, as brake fluid is particularly sensitive to foreign materials collecting in it. When you do remove the cap, you can add fluid. Slowly add the brake fluid until it hits the right marker.

Make sure to recheck your brake fluid after a few days. You want to determine whether there is a leak, and if so you’ll need to get your vehicle looked at right away at a Ford commercial truck dealer.
