PRICE FORD
David Price
all about community By ANGELINA MARTIN
F
or nearly three years, Price Ford in Turlock has forged a bond with the community since owners James Figurell and David Price took the helm of the car dealership in 2015. That connection with Turlock is made evident by their Reader’s Choice Award for Best Used Car Dealership, with Journal readers selecting Price Ford as their go-to spot when shopping for a used vehicle. “The community has been really great for us,” said Figurell. He and Price ultimately settled on Turlock after a countrywide search for available Ford dealerships, with the city’s welcoming atmosphere impacting their decision. “It’s unusual, sometimes, to find a community that greets you with open arms like Turlock has,” he said. Since 2015, Price Ford has nearly doubled its number of employees, growing from 54 workers to employing a group of 90 strong. The local dealership takes pride in hiring employees from the Turlock area, and boasts four factory certified technicians in its service shop. Price Ford’s service shop is able to provide tune-ups and maintenance for not just Ford vehicles, but a variety of name
brand cars that are typically also offered on the lot. “On the used car side, we sell all makes and models and we can also service all makes and models,” said Figurell. “It helps that we can work on the Dodges, the Chevys – you name it. Not only can we offer those cars for customers on the used car side, but we can service them, too.” Price Ford’s inventory has increased as well, growing from just 200 available vehicles to now stocking anywhere from 350 to 400 cars on a consistent basis. The selection on the used car side has doubled in recent years, he added, and features a seven-day money back guarantee for used car purchasers who may change their mind once they get home. Price Ford has quickly made a name for itself in town through methods other than car sales, too, sponsoring various events across town and raising around $20,000 for programs at both Turlock and Pitman high schools through the Drive One 4 UR School program, which raised funds for donations in turn for test drives of Price Ford vehicles. This year, Price Ford hopes to expand the program to other schools, like Denair High School, READERS’CHOICE

James Figurell
Turlock Junior High School and, hopefully, Turlock Christian High School. The dealership has set a goal to raise $10,000 more for schools in 2018, said Figurell. “We’re a family-run operation. My kids go to local schools — James Figurell here, and we’ve made so many friends over the past two and a half years that we’ve been here,” he said. “The businesses all seem to bond together in the same way, from all the different events around to supporting everything…it’s just really neat.”
“It’s unusual, sometimes, to find a community that greets you with open arms like Turlock has.”

Smith Chevrolet-Cadillac celebrating 92 years of quality service By ANGELINA MARTIN
S
ince 1926, Smith ChevroletCadillac has provided the Turlock community with service they can trust. The auto dealer is celebrating its 92nd anniversary this year, and hopes to continue growing alongside the customers they value so greatly. Smith Chevrolet-Cadillac got its start nearly a century ago, when Charles Smith sold his yam farm in Oregon to pursue a career as a traveling auto and bicycle parts salesman. When the opportunity to buy a car dealership in Turlock arose, Charles jumped at the chance and purchased the property for $3,969.79. The payment was made on April 1, 1926, and Smith Chevrolet-Cadillac was born. Smith Chevrolet-Cadillac coowner Lee Smith, grandson to Charles, now owns the dealership along with his brother, Larry, and has taken joy in serving Turlock since he began working at the lot in 1972. “It’s been a very good living in various ways – not just monetary,” said Lee. “It’s always been about customer service. It’s not about the selling; it’s about taking care of a person even after the product has been sold.” Whether it’s selling new and used cars or providing quality repairs in the dealership’s service shop, making sure that customers
leave with smiles on their faces has always been Smith ChevroletCadillac’s number one goal. It’s the dealership’s friendly atmosphere that keeps its clientele coming back, said Lee, as well as a staff that pays attention to detail. “It’s all about treating others how you want to be treated,” he said. “The goal is to treat them so that they want to come back, and so that they feel comfortable about getting their oil changed or tires rotated because we have employees that actually take their time and look at each car carefully.” In addition to showering their customers with appreciation which shows through their service, Smith Chevrolet-Cadillac also does their part to give back to the community as a whole. Through involvement with the Turlock Cemetery Board, the Salvation Army and the City of Turlock’s Little League, Youth Soccer and Police Department, the Smiths have made sure to support the Turlock residents that have carried their business over the last century. “We always choose to buy in Turlock and support local organizations and businesses to keep the money in town,” said Lee. “When you buy and support businesses in town, you’re supporting people in the community.” Smith Chevrolet-Cadillac is READERS’CHOICE

also a generous supporter of the Wounded Warrior Project, which helps to empower injured veterans and their families. Over the course of four years, the car dealership has hosted an annual golf tournament which has raised a total of nearly $95,000 for the organization. Following last year’s golf tournament, Smith Chevrolet-Cadillac donated the funds raised to the Turlock Veterans Charitable Trust, and divided the money among various local veteran organizations, like the Disabled American Veterans, the American Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars and the Stanislaus County Veterans Center. After winning two Reader’s Choice Awards, Lee said that the news was humbling for the business. “It actually makes us feel very good that our efforts are appreciated,” he said. “It’s not that we’re looking for it, but it certainly does feel good.” Smith Chevrolet-Cadillac is looking ahead to the future, having recently installed a solar power system and employ over 50 workers. “I think the future looks great,” said Lee. “We’re growing and have excellent employees…we’re just happy to see the future improving, and as time goes on I think our economy is going to increase dramatically and we expect to benefit from that.”
