Happy Halloween from Tom Wood Ford

This 2007 Mustang Shelby GT500 only had 2,000 miles and still had the original plastic wrap on the floor!

We’re excited to introduce our newest intern from Carmel High School, who has recently started an intensive training program under the guidance of one of our Senior Master Technicians. This opportunity gives our intern hands-on experience in the world of advanced technology and repair, gaining real-world skills that extend beyond the classroom.
