Congrats on the new Mustang Carter. Have a great summer.

🏁🎉 Please Help Me Welcome Carter to the Birchwood Ford Family! 🎉🏁

There’s nothing quite like a referral, so a huge thank you to my wonderful clients, Colin and Carmen from Red Lake, for sending Carter my way!

Carter made the trip into Winnipeg from Red Lake ON, hoping to see a recently traded 2024 Mustang GT Premium. Unfortunately, it was still at our body shop being reconditioned. While I was away taking care of a personal matter, my teammate Hanzel Dela Cruz stepped in to help, and I’m incredibly grateful he did.🙏🏼

As it turned out, we had something even better.

After looking at the numbers, Carter decided a brand-new 2026 Shadow Black Mustang GT equipped with a 6-speed manual transmission and the Performance Pack was the perfect fit. For anyone who loves to drive, that’s a pretty hard combination to beat!

Today, Carter completed the paperwork, and tomorrow he’ll be heading back home to Red Lake behind the wheel of his incredible new Mustang.

Thank you, Carter, for putting your trust in me, and thank you again to Colin and Carmen for another wonderful referral. Enjoy every kilometre. I have a feeling this Mustang is going to put a smile on your face for years to come!

👇 Mustang fans, I have to ask…

Would you choose an automatic or a 6-speed manual?

🎉🚗 Please Help Me Welcome Sikander & Rukhmandeep to the Birchwood Ford Family! 🚗🎉

Sometimes things have a funny way of working out exactly as they’re supposed to.

Sikander reached out online after spotting a beautiful silver 2021 Chevrolet Malibu with low kilometres that fit both his family’s needs and budget perfectly. Like many busy families, he and Rukhmandeep had been managing life with just one vehicle, but things were getting busier and it was time for a second one.

Unfortunately, by the time Sikander was ready to come in, the Malibu had sold. I felt terrible having to deliver the news to him.

But then something unexpected happened.

The original buyer needed who to get approval from his wife, and the answer was no. The Malibu became available again, and Sikander wasted no time coming in the very next morning to take it for a drive.

He loved it.

The only catch? Now HE needed approval from his wife too! 😄

Thankfully, Rukhmandeep gave it the thumbs up, and after a thorough detail, a second key, and a full tank of fuel, they picked up their Malibu and drove home yesterday.

Sometimes the right vehicle just finds the right family.

Thank you, Sikander and Rukhmandeep, for your patience and trust throughout the process. It was a pleasure helping you find the perfect vehicle for this next chapter.

☀️🌱 May Recap: It Takes a Village to Deliver a Vehicle 🌱☀️

As another busy month comes to a close, I’m incredibly grateful to share that I finished May as one of the top Product Advisors across the entire Birchwood Automotive Group for the very busy month of May & after a bit of a health scare personally.

While it’s always nice to receive recognition, the truth is that this achievement isn’t really about me. It’s about the ALL the people behind every deal, every delivery, and every smiling photo beside a new vehicle.

Let me tell you a little story…

A client reaches out online or on the phone looking for a vehicle. Maybe they saw one of my posts, were referred by a friend, or found us while browsing online.
The journey starts with a conversation.
Then I help locate the perfect vehicle, whether it’s here at Birchwood Ford or somewhere within Birchwood’s network of 15 dealerships and 20+ brands.

Our management team works with the client and myself to create the best deal that works for what the client is looking for, whether that be financing, lease or cash. Assisting with trade appraisals and helping to iron out the finer details.

Our finance team works tirelessly behind the scenes, helping clients secure competitive financing, protection plans, and payment options that fit their budget.

Our service technicians inspect every vehicle with care, ensuring it’s safe, reliable, and ready for the road.

Our parts department tracks down accessories and upgrades that help personalize each vehicle.

Our detail team works their magic, transforming every vehicle into something that looks showroom fresh and ready for its big reveal.

Our administration team keeps the paperwork moving, the appointments organized, and the entire process running smoothly.

And then comes my favourite part…
The delivery.
The smiles.�The excitement.�The handshakes.�The proud photos.�The moment a client drives away knowing they made the right decision.
That’s what it’s all about.

🚗 To My Clients
Thank you for trusting me with one of the biggest purchases you’ll make.
Whether this was your first vehicle from me, your fifth, or you simply referred a friend or family member, your support means more than you know.
Every delivery tells a story, and I’m honoured to be a small part of yours.

🙏To Everyone Who Supports Me
Whether you’ve purchased a vehicle, referred a friend, liked a post, left a comment, or shared one of my stories, thank you.
Your support continues to motivate me and push me to be better every month.
Summer is just around the corner, and I’m excited to help even more people find the perfect vehicle for road trips, camping adventures, lake weekends, and everything in between.

📩 Thinking about upgrading your vehicle? Send me a DM anytime.

📞 Or call me at the office at 204-654-8226.
👇 I’d love to hear from you:
What was your favourite road trip, camping trip, or summer vehicle memory growing up?

⚽ Funny how life comes full circle.

Many years ago, I was a young soccer player with the Bonivital Flames 🔥 , and one of the coaches helping shape our team was Scott’s Scottish 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 dad Alex. Not only Was he one of my Favourite coaches of all time, but years later I even had the opportunity to work for him early in my sales career.

Fast forward to today, and I had the pleasure of helping Scott and Wanda find the perfect vehicle for their next chapter.

Scott first stopped by Birchwood Ford looking for something for Him but more so his wife Wanda. The vehicle that immediately caught his eye? A beautiful white 2026 Bronco Big Bend in Oxford White was sitting proudly in our showroom. It checked almost every box… except one. It’s sits very high & Wanda (like most people) needed running boards.

We quickly worked through some numbers, and Scott mentioned he had a trade-in, his precious black 2015 F-150 XLT Sport with only 75,000 km. Since they live in St. James, we made the process easy by sending him a link through our website where he could upload photos of the truck for appraisal. A few clicks later, we had everything we needed to put together a much more accurate proposal, including adding those all-important running boards for Wanda.

The following weekend, Scott and Wanda came in to drive a similar Bronco. It didn’t take long before they knew it was the right fit. We made a few adjustments to the deal, shook hands 🤝, and got to work.

A huge thank you to our Parts and Service teams for getting the running boards installed and ready to go, and to Dave Peterson in Finance for helping make pickup day smooth and stress-free.

I have to admit, I think Scott was a little sad to say goodbye to that beautiful black F-150. But one look at Wanda’s smile today told me everything I needed to know. It was absolutely the right move.

Their new 2026 Bronco Big Bend is ready for adventure with its hard top, durable vinyl seating, trailer tow package, and now those brand-new running boards. I know it’s going to create plenty of fun memories for years to come.

Thank you, Scott and Wanda, for your trust, reconnecting & your friendship, and your support. It truly means a lot.

👇 Let’s settle a debate…

If you had to choose just ONE vehicle for Manitoba life, would you pick an F-150 or a Bronco, and why?

Congratulations again, Scott and Wanda! Welcome to the Birchwood Ford family! 🎉

🎓👶🚙 BIG CHANGES ARE HAPPENING FOR CORA! 🚙👶🎓

Please join me in officially welcoming Cora to the Birchwood Ford family!

A few years ago, Cora came into the dealership alongside her partner, Cory, when HE purchased a truck from me. At the time, Cora was deep into her university studies, working hard toward her Education degree and driving a faithful 2016 Nissan Versa S that helped get her where she needed to go but that was about it.

Fast forward to today, and life looks a lot different!

This month, Cora graduates with her Education degree, has already secured a teaching term position with the Seven Oaks School Division, and to top it all off, she and Cory are expecting their first child in just a few short months. What an incredible season of life!

With nearly 200,000 km on her Versa, it had done its job faithfully, but now reliability, safety, and peace of mind were more important than ever. When Cory and Cora came in on Saturday morning, they wanted to explore their options and make the best decision for their growing family.

My first thought after hearing their new situation and budget, was a brand-new Bronco Sport. While they understandably wanted to look at some pre-owned options first, we had a great conversation about the benefits of a new vehicle, including full factory warranty coverage, predictable ownership costs, and fewer maintenance concerns during these busy years ahead.

I sent them out in my red Bronco Sport demo, and after comparing it against several other vehicles, they kept coming back to the Bronco Sport, as it fit their needs.

Being month-end, things get a little hectic, but with some teamwork from Brenda in Finance and our incredible staff, we got everything wrapped up and delivered, In fact, Cora and Cory picked up their beautiful new Bronco Sport about an hour after the dealership had officially closed, making it my final delivery of May, my Demo!

Moments like these are one of the reasons I love what I do. Watching clients move through different stages of life, from school, to careers, to starting families, and being trusted to help along the way is incredibly rewarding. In fact, I even got a picture of them with the new Bronco Sport and the old Nissan versa in the background! ❤️

Cory and Cora, thank you both for your continued trust and support. Congratulations on your upcoming graduation, the start of your teaching career, your growing family, and your beautiful new Bronco Sport. I couldn't be happier for you both!

❤️ Help me congratulate Cora and Cory on all the exciting milestones happening in their lives!

🏒🚙 Welcome Back to the Birchwood Ford Family, Michelle & Scott! 🚙🏒

Some deliveries are extra special, and this is definitely one of them.

Michelle and I have been friends since junior high school, many other great memories in my life Michelle has been there for, Big soccer games, my band practices and shows, hockey games, parties, shenanigans, etc.

Let’s put it like this: (She knows where the bodies are buried) ⚰️

and our families have been close friends for many years. Over the years, I've had the privilege of having the trust of helping several members of Michelle's family with their vehicle needs — her mom, her daughter, and of course Michelle herself.

Earlier this month, Michelle reached out to let me know that the 2016 Ford Edge I sold her had just about reached the incredible milestone of 300,000 kilometres! While it had served their family extremely well, repair bills were starting to add up, and it was time to start looking for the next vehicle to support their busy family lifestyle.

With kids growing up and finding their independence, but hockey still playing a major role in their youngest's life, we needed something practical, comfortable, reliable, and ready for whatever comes next.

After exploring a few options, we found the perfect fit: this beautiful Star White 2023 Ford Explorer XLT! 🤍

This Explorer came with a fantastic list of features, including:

✅ Leather Seating✅ Heated Steering Wheel✅ All-Weather Floor Mats✅ Tow Package✅ Advanced Safety Features✅ Spacious Seating for Family Adventures

Even better, this Explorer was a lease return from one of our Birchwood Ford clients, originally leased right here at Birchwood Ford. With less than 38,000 km on the odometer and a complete service history through our dealership, Michelle and Scott can drive with confidence knowing this SUV has been exceptionally well cared for.

And the best part? The old Edge may be getting a second life as the boys prepare to start driving. Not many vehicles can say they've faithfully served one family for nearly 300,000 km and still have more adventures ahead of them!

Michelle and Scott, thank you both for your friendship, your trust, and your continued support over all these years. It means so much to me to help friends, family, and friends who feel like family find the right vehicle.

Congratulations to my good friend on your beautiful Explorer! Wishing you many years, kilometres, hockey & Lake trips, and family memories ahead. 🎉

🎉🚨 DREAM TRUCK ACHIEVED! 🚨🎉

Please join me in welcoming Jeremy to the Birchwood Ford family! 👏

Jeremy has been incredibly loyal to the Birchwood Automotive Group, driving the same 2011 Nissan Titan he purchased from Birchwood Nissan back in 2011. Fifteen years later, with just over 150,000 km on the odometer, he decided it was finally time to treat himself to a new truck—hopefully the last truck he'll ever need to buy!

Jeremy originally spotted a beautiful black F-150 XLT 302A Sport online and came in to take it for a test drive. During our conversation, he admitted that while he liked the XLT, his dream truck had always been the F-150 Tremor.

So naturally, I told him there was only one thing to do...

Take a Tremor for a drive. 😎

The moment Jeremy got behind the wheel, he was hooked. The aggressive styling, off-road capability, and the legendary 5.0L V8 made it everything he had hoped it would be.

We sat down, worked through the numbers, sharpened our pencils a little more, and found a deal that made sense for him. By about 3:30 PM yesterday we had everything finalized, and by 6:00 PM Jeremy was heading home in his brand-new F-150 Tremor so he could take it for a visit to Winkler today and show it off to his mom!

One of the things I enjoyed most about working with Jeremy was discovering that we're both dog lovers. We spent some time sharing photos and stories about our four-legged friends, which made an already great afternoon even better.

Jeremy, thank you for your trust and your business. It was an absolute pleasure helping you move from a truck you've owned for 15 years into the truck you've been dreaming about. I hope you enjoy every kilometre behind the wheel of your new Tremor!

👇 Let's hear from you:What's your dream truck; an XLT, Lariat, Tremor, Platinum, or Raptor?

If you’re looking for a new vehicle, please don’t hesitate to DM me or call me at the office at 204-654-8226.
