OKEECHOBEE -- Gilbert Ford proudly announces the grand opening of its brand-new Commercial Service Center, a state-of-the-art facility designed to meet the needs of fleet and commercial vehicle customers across South Central Florida.

The new facility expands Gilbert’s service capabilities to accommodate larger trucks and specialized commercial vehicles, including motorhomes, bucket trucks, dump trucks, and crane trucks. Featuring oversized service doors and bays, dedicated commercial technicians, and extended service hours, the center is built to help businesses maximize uptime and ensure road readiness.

“Keeping our commercial customers on the road is our top priority,” said owner Bert Culbreth. “This new facility gives us the tools, space, and team to serve them faster and better than ever before.”

The project has also drawn recognition from Ford leadership. Eduardo Tautiva, Ford Technical Placement Specialist, remarked, “I commend this team for having the vision to achieve this milestone, remembering my conversations with C.J. Somerville, the Service Manager, three years ago.”

The Gilbert Ford Commercial Service Center introduces mobile service options and pickup and delivery for fleet clients, providing even greater convenience and minimizing downtime for busy business owners.

Located at 3175 Highway 441S, the new center represents Gilbert’s Family of Companies’ continued investment in the local business community and commitment to providing reliable, high-quality service across all vehicle types.

The grand opening celebration, held on Oct. 30, welcomed local business owners, community and vendor partners, as well as team members, to tour the facility and meet the dedicated commercial service team.
