The name and owner are different, but those are the only changes locals may notice at the car dealership formerly known as La Grange Ford.
Last Tuesday the dealership officially became “Alpha One Ford.”
“Even though the name has changed, we still have the same staff, offer the same great service and we plan to still be very involved in the community,” said Internet and Marketing manager Natalie Hernandez.
The new owner is Michael Handwerger, who also owns Rockdale Chevy and a luxury used car dealership in Austin.
Raul Ramos is the new general manager.
The rest of the dealership’s leadership team remains the same (see photo).
Todd Baker, who had owned the dealership for the last two decades was honored at a retirement party June 17.
