Strathmore Ford

What Strathmore Ford does

Strathmore Ford is a single-rooftop franchised Ford dealership located at 1040 Westridge Rd in Strathmore, Alberta, a few minutes east of Calgary on the Trans-Canada Highway. The dealership is wholly owned by the Kaizen Automotive Group, a diversified Canadian dealership group, and operates as a full-service automotive retail platform selling new Ford vehicles (F-Series trucks, Explorer, Expedition, Edge, Escape, Bronco, Bronco Sport, Mustang, Ranger), the full Ford electric lineup (F-150 Lightning, Mustang Mach-E, E-Transit-350), and pre-owned vehicles from Ford and other manufacturers.

The revenue model combines five streams: new vehicle sales, used vehicle sales (including certified pre-owned), service and maintenance performed by Ford-certified technicians, parts and accessories sales, and financing facilitated through the Kaizen Automotive Group's lender network and a no-credit-check arrangement with MaxLoan.ca. An in-house body shop handles collision repair, paintless dent removal, glass replacement, and wheel repair; a dedicated commercial credit program targets fleet and business buyers. Operations rely on industry-standard dealer management systems and third-party platforms for inventory, CRM, and scheduling — there is no proprietary technology platform underlying the business. Marketing runs through the company website, Facebook, Instagram, email, SEO, and community sponsorships (Drive Pink, No Child Hungry Radiothon).

The customer base is dominated by individual retail consumers across Southern Alberta, with a smaller commercial/fleet segment and a service-only segment that returns for maintenance regardless of where the vehicle was purchased. The dealership is AMVIC-licensed, has earned the DealerRater Consumer Satisfaction Award three times, and shows no evidence of public-listing status, M&A activity, funding events, or expansion beyond its single Strathmore location. No revenue or headcount figures are disclosed.
