I will send anyone I can here. Ian was my salesman and got me situated in a Maverick when they are near impossible to get. The price was phenomenal. I live over 2 hours away and the deal was mostly done in text which I really prefer.

Al Clemon was great to work with and made my first car buying experience very easy and enjoyable. I wasn't sure where to start and he was happy to explain each step and also deal with my family throughout the process as well!

Another amazing experience with Doug at Dorian Ford. All the departments were great to work with and were very efficient in what they did. We love Dorian Ford and will keep coming back for our cars or trucks in the future! Doug again took the time to make the experience exceptional. Highly recommend!

Used cars. Ron Fortuna. The epitome of an honest salesperson. We have purchased several vehicles from him. What sets him apart? We were interested in one car. He told us: "you don't want that one", and listed the reasons. The one(s) we did buy are still running strong. Tell him that I sent you. I won't get a discount, but I might get Brownie Points!

No one could get me in to even look at it for a month, and Dorian got me in the next day, and had it fixed in one day. Chris Schultz and Connie were great in service. Would go back.

Had the best time ordering my new car from Chris Burger! He answered all of my questions, we picked colors and options, I can’t WAIT for my new Escape to come in. Chris is the best and I will continue to buy all of my future cars from him!
