We've already endured one snowstorm this season in West Michigan and more are surely on the way. Luckily, the Borgman Service Center is here to help keep you on the road all winter long.
This month, the Borgman Service Center is showcasing some options available for the upcoming winter weather: genuine Ford accessories, professionally-installed rust protection, and smartphone-enabled remote start. These can make driving in our Michigan winter wonderland much easier, and are great gift ideas too! Read more about each below.
Shop Genuine Ford Accessories at Borgman Ford
Whether you're looking for something specific, such as all-weather floor mats or something for the warmer months like a roof-top tent system, Borgman Ford is your one-stop shop for genuine Ford parts and accessories! Our staff would be delighted to help you find the perfect gift for the Ford fan on your list, or make recommendations for upgrades that are tailored to their vehicle.
Shop electronics like dashcams, lighting kits, or backseat screens for the kids, toolboxes and bedliners for trucks, or even tube step bars, Molle gear systems, and roof racks for outdoorsy types! We can also handle any required installation - so you know it's been performed safely and correctly.
Rust & Corrosion Protection
Borgman Ford maintains a relationship with Great Lakes Chemical in Grand Rapids, MI. They are our trusted partner for professionally-applied treatments and coatings such as Diamon-Crystal for windshields, paint protectors, rust proofing, and more. Many of our customers choose one or more of their services when they buy a vehicle from us, but it's not unheard of to have our service department handle it for you too.
During the winter your vehicle's body panels, subframe, suspension components and more are exposed to rock salt and other ice-melting solutions. Road commissions use these to chemically melt ice on roadways, and completely necessary for ensuring they're as safe as possible. Salt mixes with the water in the ice to lower the freezing point, but it also makes the water more conductive. This faster transfer ions is what accelerates rusting, and it's even more pronounced in salt substitutes.
The underside of your vehicle gets the worst of it, and runaway rust can cause problems in your suspension, exhaust, and even brake lines! Frequently visiting the car wash can help, but adding an extra layer of protection to your vehicle will lock out salt water, stave off costly repairs, and dramatically extend the life of your vehicle.

The Borgman Service Center will be happy to handle the application of the latest in rust protection technology. We've teamed up with Great Lakes Chemical for this and other services. With their advanced process, there's no need to drill holes into parts of your vehicle to apply the treatment, and it will not interfere with your manufacturer's warranty. Using a specialized applicator, the technician will coat structural parts on the underside of your vehicle, as well as other areas that are prone to rust such as door sills. They will also "fog" the inside of your doors, quarter panels, trunk lid and seam, hood, and more. For more information and a quote, visit the Borgman Service Center.
