Clement Ford Dealership: First Nationwide to Incorporate Ford’s New Signature 2.0 Enhanced Customer Experience

Clement Auto Group has opened a new Clement Ford dealership in Wentzville, with grand opening festivities attended by US Ford senior executives Rob Kaffl and Edie Lukas. It is the first dealership globally to incorporate Ford’s new Signature 2.0 design standards offering customers a hospitality-first, sales anywhere experience of no-hassle, fast, comfort-centric shopping and service options that meet today’s customer retail preferences.

The new design, a $45 million investment for Clement Ford, will eventually be incorporated into all 2000+ Ford dealerships nationwide, creating a more welcoming, 5-star guest experience in all areas of the dealership by emphasizing hospitality and reducing sales pressure to enhance customer engagement and provide a consistent, immersive Ford brand experience. Customers can research, build, and price their purchase online and then visit the dealership to finalize it, or they can complete the entire transaction online at www.clementford.com.

The new 71,000 square foot Clement Ford is located at 1015 S. Callahan Road in Wentzville next to Clement’s existing Hyundai dealership.

“It is the nicest Ford facility to-date in the world,” stated Rob Kaffl, Ford Motor Co. Executive Director U.S. Sales, Market Representation & Dealer Relations.

The facility includes a state-of-the-art service department with 38 service bays, skylights, climate control, an on-site car wash, drive-over automatic tire tread and wheel alignment checks and a viewable waiting area looking into the service bays from the service guest hub inside.

Customer amenities in the showroom include a lounge with comfortable seating, power stations, a fireplace, and a coffee/snack bar where customers can start the car-buying process anywhere they like. A ‘Celebration Bay” delivery area offers a memorable vehicle delivery experience with special lighting and design elements. A retail zone offers Ford-branded merchandise, and a dedicated Ford Bronco Showroom featuring an outdoorsy theme.

“Clement Ford has moved beyond the traditional dealership experience and now represents the future of the Ford brand,” said Penuel ‘Raj’ Clement, Dealer Principal of Clement Ford and President & Owner of Clement Auto Group.

“Congratulations to Clement Ford on the opening of their new dealership. They represent the future of our brand – a dealership built on innovation, hospitality, and commitment to community,” said Elena Ford, Chief Dealer Engagement Officer, Ford Motor Company. “This space will help ensure everyone who walks through the door feels welcomed and connected to Ford.”

“We are committed to providing the very best service and sales experience; and we are investing in our people as well as our facilities to do this,” said Clement Ford Owner and Partner Nadir Djavaherian.

The new dealership is equipped with electric vehicles (EVs) with charging stations, certified Ford technicians, and cutting-edge tools and equipment.

More than $55 million has been invested by Clement in the two Wentzville dealerships. The previous Clement Ford dealership location in O’Fallon has been transformed and re-opened today as a Ford Quick Lane Tire and Auto Center.

Construction of the new dealership commenced in May 2024 with Musick Construction serving as the general contractor for the project.
