Our First Ford Fiesta Arrives in late July
July 28, 2010 09:45 GMT
We are proud to announce that our first Ford Fiesta arrived at our dealership on July 27th. We are excited about this vehicle as it shows the direction that Ford is taking by bringing the awesome small cars that they make in Europe to us in North America. This vehicle is rated at 40 mpg and has many other great features that you probably have seen on the Ford commercials for the vehicle. Its a pretty big deal!
We have attached a video showing our nice new silver Fiesta that our predelivery specialist, Jim, had the honor of checking over. This video appeared on our Facebook page posing the question that we think Jim kind of resembles the Dos Equis guy. We welcome your feedback.
Rodina Automotive Opens on May 26, 2010

We can all breathe a collective sigh of relief as after nearly two years of hard work getting the Molly B’s building up to code, numerous web videos that have titillated our senses with pure joy, and a lot of bills from our various contractors, Rodina Automotive is open for business.
Things really started rolling after our handshake agreement with WM Automotive Warehouse of Fort Worth to bring a Parts Plus Autostore to West. That handshake brought with it over 34 years of expertise in the aftermarket parts business and more importantly, how to set up a parts store. Through the blood, sweat, and tears of numerous hours of work by WM employees: Craig Potter and Keith Hudson, and our own employees: Richard Pavelka, Steven Smith, Brian Uptmor, and Jeremy Pustejovsky, Rodina Automotive came to life with a Parts Plus pizzazz.
With an excess of two hundred thousand dollars in inventory, Rodina Automotive has a great coverage of parts for any kind of vehicle on the road. In fact the first parts transaction of Rodina Automotive was to sell Sykora Family Ford an automotive battery for our 1930 Model A pickup. Since then we have been pleasantly surprised on just how many of the parts we need for different vehicles in the shop we have in inventory at Rodina Automotive.
Aftermarket parts experience abounds with the addition of Tom Dollar to the staff of Rodina Automotive. Tom brings over 40 years of experience to Rodina as he began selling aftermarket parts in Waco in 1969. Add Mr. Steve Rodina Smith’s 10+ years of experience and the newest parts store in West has over 50 years of experience behind the counter.
We invite all the members of our customer family to come and see the selection of parts and experience the level of service only a Sykora family business can offer.
