History
Quick Lane was launched as a pilot program in 1997 by Ford Motor Company. 80 shops were opened in 2003, boosting locations to 279.[2] In August 2014, Ford and the Detroit Lions announced that Quick Lane would be the title sponsor of the replacement Detroit bowl.[4]
In January 2017, Ford had launched it Omnicraft parts for non-Ford and non-Lincoln vehicles. Quick Lane franchisees thus would not have to order those parts from other distribution outlets thus increasing ordering efficiency and potential decreasing costs.[5] In February 2018, Changan Ford Automobile opened two locations in China, which are the first two company owned locations.[6][7]

Quick Lane began sponsoring the Quick Lane Bowl begin in 2014 for a three year period. In November 2016, Quick Lane extended its sponsorship of the Detroit Lions' bowl for another three years to 2019.[8]
