1952 Dodge Pickup

1952 Dodge Pick Up Blue

Every once in a while we will get something on trade that is unique.  In previous years, we have taken in horses, campers and motorcycles.  But what really makes our job fun is when the old classics roll through.  This was the case the other day when a customer wanted to trade in his 1952 Dodge Pickup.

We put the truck right on the grass in front of the dealership and it has been the hit of the town.  We get customers stopping every day asking about the truck.  We even had a local farmer flipped through some of his early 50’s Farmer Magazines and find this Dodge Advertisement.

Our First Chevrolet Camaro Convertible Says Goodbye to Enumclaw and Hello to Wilbur, WA

Our first Chevrolet Camaro Convertible here at Gamblin Motors was on display on our showroom floor for the past couple weeks. This sleak Camaro created alot of buzz and excitement around the town and dealership, everyone wanting to catch a glimpse of the newly released convertible.

The new owners of the new 2011 Chevy Camaro came all the way from rural Wilbur, WA– population 866. Throughout the past couple years, the residents of Wilbur have made us their home dealership, not letting the nearly 5 hour drive stop them from coming to see us time and time again. Check out the below video by Scott Ledford  to see the Jensen’s take delivery of their new Camaro, along with a few other friends from Wilbur who made purchases as well.

Gamblin Motors New Owners Clinic

We had agreat turn out for our most recent new owners clinic that was held on the 27th of January. More than thirty new car owners joined us in some awesome  food, tours around the dealership and a power point presentations from several members of our team here at Gamblin Motors.

Our service manager, Craig Clifford, spoke with some of our most recent customers about the importance of properly maintaining your vehicle both for their benefit as well as their vehicles. Our award winning Service Department and our technicians here at Gamblins are highly GM trained and are ready to fix any problem that might occur with your vehicle. Our Service Department not only just works on GM vehicles but they work on all makes and models.  Also on hand was our finance manager, Tom Rockwood, who spoke about the benefits of having a Gamblin Gold book. The Gamblin Gold book is a rewards program to keep your vehicle on a routine maintenance schedule.  Our customers who have purchased Gamblin Gold books love the benefits the book provides in savings.

To wrap up the night we broke into groups and gave our guests tours around the service and body shop facilities to familiarize them with the process when they come in for their service work. We had one of our master technicians, Dave Cooper, on hand to speak about some of the common tools mechanics at our dealership use on a daily basis.

We had a great time sharing what we do on a daily basis as well as giving some useful information that will help our customers in the future. We will be holding our next new owners clinic this coming May.  We will let you know what the exact date of the clinic will be and we hope to see you there.

What was your first car?

Fiat 500, Lorenzo Quinn, Vroom Vroom

 

Sculptor Lorenzo Quinn had a unique way to show off his first car. This pint sized Fiat 500 has literally been made into a toy after being transformed into a public art piece. After the piece was shown off in Abu Dhabi and Valencia, Spain, it made it’s most recent appearance in down town London, England where passerby’s can marvle at the childs massive aluminum hand playing with his “toy car”.

After seeing this story we were intrigued to find out what some of our employees first cars were. Check out this video as we walk around the dealership finding out what people first started off driving.
