Safety a priority for Ford this festive season

During this festive season, Ford's conducting a campaign that is aimed at helping Ford owners get to their destination safely as well as provide them with good discounts on various Ford spare parts.

As the holiday season draws ever closer, many Malaysians have already begun making preparations for their journey home to their hometowns. The most important thing to take into account when embarking on a long distance journey is if your vehicle is in proper working order.

Ford in Malaysia feels very strongly about vehicle safety and as such from 1st August to 30th September, the company is having a Merdeka Raya campaign. According to Ford, the campaign is an aftersales promotion. It includes a free 27-point health check were owners of Ford vehicles can have their cars examined by professionals to see if it's safe for the journey home. It’s the best way to determine if your vehicle will safely get you and your family to your destination.

Apart from that Ford is also offering a 15 per cent discount on selected lubricants for Ford vehicles that aren’t covered by the company’s extended service plan. The company is also offering a 15 per cent discount on timing belts, clutch systems and brake packages on selected Ford models.

Speaking of this campaign, Patrick O’ Neil, parts and service regional manager, Ford Export & Growth Operations, Asia Pacific said, "Service promotions like Merdeka Raya emphasise Ford’s commitment to vehicle safety and peace of mind, especially during peak travel holidays.” He later added, “At Ford, we are eager to Go Further to provide competitive aftersales pricing and attractive promotions for our customers as they look forward to travelling and visiting friends and family this Aidilfitri.”

In the month of September, during Ford Global Week of Caring (GWOC) thousands of Ford employees all over the world will gather to conduct critical community service work as a means to do good in the areas where they live and work.

In conjunction with GWOC, Ford Malaysia will be the official vehicle co-sponsor of the Harian Metro charity drive programme called ‘Titipan Kasih’ 2013. Ford is loaning three Ford Rangers to aid in providing buka puasa provisions to selected homes around Peninsular Malaysia.
