Heaslip Ford – Driving Trust Since 1910
Built on a handshake. Thriving on relationships. Some dealerships sell cars. Others make history.
Heaslip Ford is the second oldest continuously operating Ford franchisee in Canada, granted in October 1910 to J.H. Head., Story has it, when Henry Ford’s train broke down in Hagersville, he wandered into a small bicycle shop owned by J.H. Head. Before he left town, Mr. Head became one of Canada’s earliest Ford dealers—and Heaslip Ford was born. That handshake turned into a legacy, and over a century later, this dealership is still representing the Blue Oval with pride.
Today, Dealer Principal Robert Phillips and the team at Heaslip Ford carry forward the tradition of the Head and Heaslip families, grounded in community, quality, and customer care. Their motto, “At Heaslip Ford, we go the extra distance,” still drives everything they do—from friendly sales to convenient, expert service that keeps customers coming back, generation after generation.
