Tousley Ford Grand tour, Lots O pics! - The Ford Focus Forum

**FORDSVTPARTS** · 06-02-2008, 10:40 AM

I thought it would be fun to show you guys where your parts come from.

I also wanted to thank everyone for their support in making our little venture into internet marketing a huge success.

Working with you guys is great, I really enjoy dealing with everyone from the boards.

A little history, Tousley has been around for just over fifty years now and over the last few years we have scored consistently in the top 10 in every wholesale parts sales category that Ford rates.

We are also the largest distributor of Ford collision repair parts in North America which really means in the world, No fooling, Ford confirmed this a couple years ago.

We also started carrying Ford Racing parts due to your repeated requests and in our first two full years we won top 10 awards for volume, again due in large part to you guys.

On to the pics.

Main building,

Main building downstairs, Just a few aisles for reference.

Can you see the blue shirt and red hat at the other end? Thats our shipper standing there for perspective.

Main building upstairs,

The sheet metal warehouse,

The bumper cover warehouse (all the boxes outside are full of covers waiting to be put away)

Our delivery fleet consists of about 27 trucks covering the Southern 2/3 of Minnesota and most all of Western Wisconsin, If it's a white truck in the pic it's one of ours.

The FRPP awards you guys helped us win.

And my slightly messy always busy workstation,

Thanks for looking and thanks for all the business you guys bring in!!!

Nice dealership, glad to hear business is good. Ford dealerships in Ohio are dropping like flies. Thanks for the ultra cheap Borla exhaust, it ROCKS!

**Rickter** · 06-25-2008, 09:06 PM

Holy hell, I didn't realize that place was so big. I thought you were just a part dept. of a dealer. Also thanks for the help over the years, I know my car loves that place.

**thelastsvt** · 08-25-2008, 01:39 AM

Your sucess is for a reason....the consistant delivery of QUALITY

**-Rudel-** · 09-02-2008, 06:51 AM

**brads03zx3** · 09-30-2008, 09:50 PM

Thanks for the pics. I have actually wondered what you all looked like

Um, no. I wish.

**dochawk** · 12-12-2008, 05:56 PM

Wow! Your place looks like that warehouse in Indiana Jones where they stash the Arc of the Covenant. Ever lose anything... like an employee?

**Guideline1** · 02-19-2009, 06:36 PM

There is a GMC Suburban in the parking lot of one of those pic's. Have you hung that driver?

We have a Silverado, and a Foci. Both 2001 models. Congratulations, and thank you for all the help and service!

Parts get lost all the time, if something isn't put away properly it's virtually impossible to find until the next inventory which straightens things out for a while.
