Nelson Ford has been the West Kootenays' trusted Ford dealership for years -- and five times, Ford Canada has recognised us with the President's Award, its highest dealership honour. Not for sales volume. For the experience we deliver to every customer who walks through our door. We're proud of those awards. But what we're prouder of is the customers who come back -- the tradesworker who's bought three F-150s here, the family whose first Ford became their second and third, the local business that trusts us to keep their fleet on the road. Nelson Ford serves the full West Kootenay region -- Nelson, Castlegar, Trail, Salmo, Creston, Kaslo, New Denver, Slocan, and beyond. We understand what driving in this region demands: mountain grades, winter roads, gravel on the Kootenay Lake ferry route, and terrain that separates capable vehicles from capable-looking ones. We carry the full Ford lineup, offer flexible financing, and run a service department staffed by Ford-trained technicians using genuine OEM parts. We also serve commercial and fleet customers -- businesses that need reliable work vehicles and a dealer who understands what downtime costs. Come in to 623 Railway St and see what five President's Awards looks like in person.
