Jr. and Dora S. have big plans for their new Dodge Grand Caravan. The couple, who lives in Farley, recently bought a 2012 Dodge Grand Caravan at Runde Auto Group’s Manchester location. Dora said she is excited to use the van for delivering flowers for her daughter, as well as for carrying her 12 grand kids.  Dora exclaimed, “They are going to love the new van.  It rides so nice and it’s big enough to haul everyone as once … well, almost everyone.” She said the van’s automatic doors will come in handy for the children and with the automatic safety back off sensor she won’t have to worry about any of the kids getting their small fingers pinched in the sliding doors. “I used to have a van with the automatic doors you just click a button and they open.  It’s such a nice feature and I really missed not having that over the [...]

It was Trunk or Treat time in Manchester and luckily we are proud to have quite a few creative minds working at Runde’s. One particular salesman, Sean Dailey (Sales Manager of Runde Auto Group of Manchester), was particularly creative and festive when he put his truck on display at Sherman’s Pumpkin Farm and Corn Maze. Sean participated in the Trunk or Treat in Manchester on Oct. 27th where kids had a great time with face painting, balloons and hot chocolate in a spooky Halloween environment. The kids went around to “trunk” or treat at various business that had a vehicle trunk (or Truck box) all rigged up in Halloween decor. Sean did a great job with the decorations! Sean: “It was quite a bit of fun to create this Trunk [...]

Over the past few weeks he has been very busy meeting all of the friendly faces at our Ford-Chrysler-Dodge-Jeep store and helping the great people of, and around, Manchester with their vehicle needs. In the midst of his busy schedule we were able to sneak in a few questions to get to know him bit better. So Sean, what exactly do you do here at Runde’s? I am a general sales associate, I sell cars.
