Wood Wheaton's New Home Coming Along

Thursday, March 16, 2006 04:00 AM

In just a few weeks, this building on Highway 16 west will be the new home to Wood Wheaton Chevrolet.

The building boasts 36 thousand square feet of space that will house not only a new showroom, but a state of the art service centre, drive through Goodwrench service bays and a car wash.

That's not all.

In an effort to make any "waiting " time as productive as possible, there will be a special customer service lounge with a warming electric fireplace, a play area for children, and internet access for the professional .

The state of the art service center ( shown at right) will be able to handle a maximum of 19 vehicles at one time, while the show room (below) can handle a maximum of 11 vehicles.

The new facility will be ready in four to 6 weeks.

So that's why your called "Opinion" because on a slow news day you can have your lead story be a commercial for a favoured friend's business? I see no other value to this "story". Wood Wheaton can afford to advertise and no doubt will make the move to their new location into a big event?

Go find some news that we can use!

Why not go find some

Congratulations to Wood Wheaton Chevrolet!

Who is moving into the location that is being vacated on the corner of Victoria and 20th?

Any development in this city is worth writing about. I notice you did not complain about the story written last week about RONA going on the same strip.Development is development, we don't as you are doing, decide which is advertising and what is news, but rather report on everything and I do mean everything.

It's no worse than the Citizen and it's section called Motoring Trends. It is a straight up ad for the auto manufacturers. Why not call it what it is, an ad, not a section of the newspaper.

>"It's no worse than the Citizen and it's section called Motoring Trends."<

Especially if a whole page is devoted to the Subaru Forester under the giant headline of "Ford Explorer takes luxury to a new level."

Heehee!

Ben...

I considered the RONA story news worthy though not big news so I let it pass. However the WW "story" built on that sentiment and I felt and had a cumulative effect of gratuitous product placement and could not be overlooked.

I think it's news worthy.
WW is taking a huge risk, look what happened just down the street with the Ford dealer when the economy turned turtle.
Lots of people predicting the end of PG when the beetle wood runs out, so I wonder what will happen to WW?
What happens if the NDP get elected, like when the Ford dealer built his new shop? The economy starts a death roll everytime, so is the WW story news worthy? You bet cha! The WW dealer is taing a tremendous risk and that's news.
Good to see and read there is confidence in the people of PG and BC.

WhatImThinking......I don't believe the article is an opinion, it looks "newsworthy" to me.
