Brandon Twp. — It’s been two decades since Grand Blanc Businessman and Waterford native Randy Wise purchased the long-time local Ford dealership at 968 Ortonville Road.
Since then, the strong response from the community coupled with continued investment has established the Randy Wise-Ford team as northern Oakland and southern Genesee counties destination for new and pre-owned vehicles.
It’s been a team effort,” said Joe Greene, who served as Randy Wise Ford-Ortonville General Manager for many years. “Our staff goes the extra mile for our customers and the growth continues to show. Both Randy and Chris are very involved in his community, and that is reflected here in the North Oakland County area. These are communities of good, hard-working people, they care about their hometowns and the schools. And those are the same values we strive to adhere to instilled by owners Randy and Chris Wise.”
Over the years a 20,000 square feet state of the art showroom and service area was constructed. A few years later a pre-owned vehicle facility was added to provide room for a vast selection of cars, trucks, and suvs. In addition, the expansion of the service area was the third major investment for Randy Wise Ford Ortonville.
“It’s all about the outstanding team we have here at Randy Wise Ford,” said Chris Boan, manager. “The dedication of our employees coupled by the community support, continues to make us a leader. We want to thank the community and our customers for their confidence in our team.”
“It’s been a team effort,” said Boan. “Our staff goes the extra mile for our customers and our growth continues to increase. In 2004 when Randy Wise purchased the dealership, he had a vision of this type of growth. Randy and Chris have always encouraged us to be a big part of the communities in which our business is part.”
Randy Wise Ford supports the local schools including Brandon, Clarkston, and Goodrich. The Randy Wise organization is the leading dealer group in supporting the United Way.
