ASHLAND, VA (PRBuzz) June 8, 2012 -- Sheehy Ford Ashland has relocated to its brand new 45,000 square-foot facility at 11450 Washington Highway and is open for business.

With an emphasis on customer service, the new dealership will feature a children's play area complete with X-Box and Play Station; an on-site stand alone Car Wash; a "Quick Lane" service bay with its own private customer lounge; expanded service facilities for commercial trucks and vehicles; and iPads for customers to use while waiting.
