At Steet Ponte Ford, we believe in investing in the next generation of automotive professionals—and earlier in November, our team had the opportunity to do just that! Our Service Manager, Tony Magee, and Ford Lincoln Technician, Austin Catlin, visited BOCES to give students an inside look at what life is really like in a modern Ford Lincoln service department.

🚗 Bringing Real-World Experience to the Classroom

Tony and Austin spent time sharing their knowledge, day-to-day experiences, and the skills needed to thrive in today’s evolving automotive industry. From advanced diagnostics to hands-on repairs, students received a firsthand glimpse into a career path that is in high demand and constantly growing.

🐎 A Special Guest: The Mustang Dark Horse

To make the experience even more exciting, the team brought along a Ford Mustang Dark Horse—a true standout in the Ford performance lineup. Students had the chance to explore the vehicle up close, learn about its engineering, and see how cutting-edge technology ties into the work of today’s technicians.

🔧 Inspiring the Technicians of Tomorrow

Our visit to BOCES was a meaningful way to give back to the community and connect with young people interested in automotive careers. Providing students with real-life exposure helps them gain confidence, ask questions, and envision themselves in the industry.

We’re grateful to BOCES for welcoming us and look forward to continuing to support local students and future technicians.
