Ten Things We Are Thankful For at Lange & Fetter, Your Car Dealership in Trenton!
The turkey’s been carved, the pumpkin pie is long gone, and if your house is anything like ours, there are still a few containers of leftovers hiding in the back of the fridge. We just celebrated Thanksgiving here in Canada, and it got the whole team at Lange & Fetter Motors, your family-owned car dealership in Trenton, thinking about everything we’re grateful for this year. Spoiler: it’s a lot. So grab one more slice of pie (we won’t tell) and let’s count our blessings together.
Thankful for You, Our Customers, and Our Growing Team
1. Our Biggest Month Ever
Remember July? We sure do. Our neighbours helped us sell 170 vehicles that month, the biggest month in Lange & Fetter history. Every one of those sales was a person or family trusting us with a big decision, and that means the world to us. If you were one of them, thank you!
Wondering what a record month means for you? Mostly, it means our lot keeps turning over, so there’s always something new to see when you browse our used inventory. It also means we’re always looking for quality trade-ins, so a quick trade-in evaluation is a smart first step if you’re thinking about an upgrade.
2. New Faces in the #LangeFetterFamily
This year we welcomed some fantastic new people to the team, including [new team member names and roles]. They’ve jumped right in, and we’re so glad they’re here. Come say hi, or get to know everyone on our Meet the Team page.
3. Over 70 Years of Family Roots
Lange & Fetter has been serving the Quinte area since 1952, and we’re still family-owned. That’s more than seven decades of handshakes, first cars, and “remember when you sold my dad his truck?” stories. We don’t take that history for granted.
4. Our Fix-It Friends in the Service Bay
Our service advisors and technicians keep Quinte West rolling, through the good, the bad, and the check-engine light. Speaking of which, here’s the most important takeaway in this whole post: book your winter tire swap now. Most tire experts recommend switching once daytime temperatures sit around 7°C or below, and appointments fill up fast once the first snow hits. Book with our Service Centre to beat the rush.
How Does a Trenton Car Dealership Give Back to Its Community?
One sale at a time. This fall, we’re proud to be taking part in Cars for Community again, and it’s one of our favourite ways to say thank you.
5. Cars for Community
Cars for Community is an annual campaign that brings local dealerships together to support United Way Hastings & Prince Edward. From September 1 through the end of November, Lange & Fetter donates $25 from every vehicle we sell. That money stays right here at home, helping fund 39 local agencies and 43 programs serving people across Hastings and Prince Edward Counties. Read more in our Cars for Community blog post.
6. Customers Who Turn Their New Ride Into a Good Deed
Is it too late to be part of it? Not at all. The 2026 campaign runs until the end of November, so if you buy a new or used vehicle with us before then, $25 from your purchase goes straight to local programs. Last year, Cars for Community raised $55,850 for United Way HPE, its biggest year yet, and that only happened because customers like you showed up for your neighbours.
What Else Are We Thankful For This Year?
A few more things that made 2026 special, and they’re all about connection.
7. Your Kind Words
Every review, shout-out, and friendly wave from the parking lot means more than you know. Honest feedback helps us get better, and the kind words keep the whole team smiling. If you’ve visited us recently, we’d love to hear how it went. Read more of our reviews to see what our local customers have to say about our service!
8. Drivers Who Make the Trip
Is it really worth driving to Trenton for a vehicle? Plenty of our customers say yes. We see shoppers from all over Ontario, which is why we offer perks for out-of-town buyers, including a full tank and gas money for your trip when you buy. Plus, you get a scenic drive through the Bay of Quinte as a bonus.
9. Our Online Family
Nearly 20,000 of you follow along on Facebook, and our videos have reached viewers far beyond Quinte West. Thank you for every like, share, and comment (yes, even the ones roasting our jokes).
10. Calling Quinte West Home
Most of all, we’re thankful to call Trenton and Quinte West home. The people here are the reason we open our doors every morning, and giving back to this community will always be part of who we are.
