Furloughed Federal Employee Assistance
Free In Home Oil Change & Service
Federal employees who own a Ford, Lincoln, or Mazda vehicle can now schedule a free oil change, tire rotation and inspection — performed by certified Koons technicians at the employee’s home. These vehicles do not need to have been purchased from a Koons dealership. Any furloughed government employee that owns a Ford, Lincoln or Mazda is eligible. The Koons Mobile Service team will be at full readiness to be deployed to all affected government employees’ homes.
