Fleet and customized service vehicles help regional businesses succeed
Commercial vehicle sales at Krapohl Ford & Lincoln come in all shapes and sizes. It’s a Mt. Pleasant city work truck, a customized van for a small business, a fleet of vehicles for a large operation.
Autume Balcom recently assumed leadership of Krapohl’s commercial sales, taking over the role Stan Miller filled. Stan recently retired after 33 years with Krapohl Ford & Lincoln.
Autume said she enjoys learning how Ford vehicles help local business operations thrive.
“It’s a full-service relationship,” Autume said. “We learn about what they need to succeed, and as a full-service dealership, they know they’ll get the necessary follow-up repairs and service to keep their businesses running.”
Autume said she works to learn about each business or government account, and she has been on the road visiting commercial customers.
“Going out to the farms and other locations is another layer of convenience for them, and it is part of the services we offer,” she said.
Autume said Ford commercial vehicles offer business-oriented extras such as Ford Pro telematics, a software package that allows managers to monitor vehicle location, fuel consumption, EV range and receive indicators for oil changes and other maintenance.
Krapohl also helps business owners with service packages and a financing tool it calls FinSimple.
“We can help a company that needs a large fleet all the way down to a one-person small business, like a plumber,” Autume said. “We maintain the traditional Krapohl family feel for all of our customers while we work to understand what specialty vehicles they need.”
