Can you connect me to that Believable Ford store?
— What Puget Sound drivers asked 411 Directory Assistance, decades before Google existed
Our Origin Story
Why We’re Called “The Believable Ford Store”
Decades ago, regional car commercials were dominated by screaming pitchmen smashing windshields with sledgehammers, hyping “unbelievable” markdowns that evaporated once customers arrived at the showroom. Northwest drivers grew tired of the theatrics and just wanted an honest deal.
Instead of digging through the phone book, local drivers started dialing 411 and asking the operator a simple question. Telephone operators knew exactly who they meant: Bowen Scarff Ford in Kent. The nickname stuck, becoming our identity for over six decades.
The difference today: the gimmicks never disappeared — they just moved online, into fake internet discounts, unstackable rebates, and thousand-dollar mandatory add-on packages. Our commitment hasn’t moved: straightforward pricing you can actually believe.
