Though construction won't be fully complete for another five weeks, Courtesy Automotive Group's new Lincoln Dealership on Ambassador Caffery, situated not far from the Vermilion River, has already opened its doors for business.

The new location represents Courtesy Lincoln's return to Lafayette, following the closure of its Johnston Street dealership and relocation about two years ago next to Courtesy Ford in Breaux Bridge.

"We always aim to improve on ways to give our customers the highest level of customer service that is convenient for them," say Paul Stroderd, Courtesy's GM. "We wanted to offer a unique and quality product, like Lincoln, to our community, as well as expand our service opportunities to our customers located here in Lafayette."

Frankie Russo of Potenza Creative and Courtesy's PR rep describes the new dealership as a "state-of-the-art" facility complete with "abundant glass windows, sleek marble floors and a re-designed customer service area."

Courtesy' decision to bring Lincoln back to Lafayette, notes Russo, "is so that new and previous Lincoln owners, as well as Courtesy Ford customers, will now be able to service their vehicles in Lafayette.

On June 8, Russo says Courtesy will hold a grand opening ceremony to celebrate the new facility, and each new Lincoln taken for a test drive that day will result in a donation to the Miles Perret Center.
