Last week a team from Ilderton DCJR serviced inspected and made recommendations to over 300 High Point University Students before their drive home for the holidays. Ilderton Mobile Service is equipped to provide brake, battery, bulb and tire checks as well as topping off fluids, inspecting wiper blades and even an air compressor to add air to under inflated tires. Our team worked tirelessly to ensure the students would be safe to drive their vehicles, whether they were driving 30 minutes or 8 hours home. The demand was unknown but after the first day it was clear that many students needed the service. 5 days and 16 hours later we wrapped up our first HPU vehicle inspection week. We cannot wait to be back on campus once again in the spring! Christopher Ilderton and Sabrina Holland, Service Managers at Ilderton talk with a student about her vehicle.

Based on a true story... Several weeks ago we had a customer come into the service department for an inspection and service. We found out after podding the vehicle that it was stolen. The VIN number didn't match what the customer said. We discovered the door and VIN plate had been replaced. The customer was devastated to learn that the truck he had purchased from a private seller was in fact, stolen. We then learned from the news a few days later he had happened again to a customer in the area. We decided to bring the issue to light. We used our media team, Captivate Media, to show how this could happen and added a little bit of humor. A new car purchase is big. You will want to do your due diligence and when possible purchase from a reputable dealer like Ilderton Dodge, Chrysler, Jeep Ram in High Point NC. We will make sure the vehicle that is sold is thoroughly checked out.
