Certain people made the dealings great

Mike Mendoza, Elias Munoz, Dan Medberry, Mike Ohms, Dan & April in the Service Dept and Jerry & crew in the body shop together make the Dahl experience incredible. Very helpful, congenial and appeared genuinely there to assist us. Ken Dahl always makes an effort to greet us when we are at the dealership and that makes us feel like valued customers. There are others...…….on another visit that were not up to Dahl's standards

Lease Vehicle/trade in

Steven Galanius was great. He did not pressure us to make a purchase and gave us time to make the decision we wanted. I would highly recommend working with him to friends.

Great Honest Dealership

Being a first time car buyer, I was a little hesitant to shop around. However, when me and my husband went to Dahl Ford we found it to be an honest and easy dealership to work with because of the assistance of David Brown. He walked us through the process of purchasing our new car, he was patient with us and gave us many options. It felt like we were buying a car from a trusted friend. If we ever need another car, Dahl Ford will definitely have our business.

my new car

Keith Blum was hands down the best salesman I have ever dealt with my whole life, He heard I was looking for a car when I was out having dinner with my family and he kindly handed me a card and started telling me how Dahl Ford was totally different from any other dealership. After he sold the vehicle I wanted he have me a tour of the service department and bodyshop,i will recommend this dealership and Keith to everyone I know looking to purchase a vehicle.

Anthony was excellent

Despite trying to find the perfect truck for my business. I could have not asked of better service from Anthony. Calling and checking on me on his day off. I would highly recommend him if you want a pleasant experience.

New truck with issues, five week (total) repair period

I will not buy another vehicle from Dahl Ford. The new 2016 F150 3.5 Ecoboost I purchased had issues starting around 15-20,000 miles. The truck would buck and misfire, enter a limp-home-mode, and leave me stranded out of state, hitched to a trailer that I couldn’t pull faster than 30 mph on a major interstate. If it happened at night, I would have to stop traveling until I could make it to a parts store when they opened the next morning to buy a new coil for the #1 cylinder to clear the code and eliminate the symptoms. I took it into Dahl and they noted there was water in the #1 plug/coil boot but couldn’t figure out why. It happened several more times- leading up to the tail end of the warranty. One final time, I documented the parking lot coil replacement and observed liquid in the coil boot, and dropped it off at Dahl. They kept the truck for a total of two weeks between September 2017 and July 2018 for diagnostic driving and analysis of the issue. It was communicated that the Ford dealer technical network was trying to decide how to repair. During this time, I was left without a loaner for a period of days before it was determined this would be covered by warranty. Dahl did let me use a courtesy vehicle towards the end of this period because I was about to be a.) stranded in Davenport and b.) without a vehicle for vacation. This was appreciated, although I had hoped I would get a rental loaner the whole time regardless of the status of Ford’s approval of the repair under warranty. Final repair of the issue (cylinder head replacement) took three weeks (July 16th to August 7th) with the truck in Dahl’s possession the entire time. The return date of the vehicle was incorrectly guessed at least six times, covering a span of 13 days where my truck was “almost done”. The truck was to be done on a Wednesday, then Thursday, then Friday, then the next Wednesday, probably the Friday after that, then the Monday after that, and, finally, at the end of a Tuesday. Excuses offered varied from no service tech available to work on it to multiple days waiting on parts. Plans were made several days beyond the communicated date, cancelled, made, and cancelled again. Dahl Ford’s non- equivalent loaner policy is terrible. Ford is not required to provide an equivalent (to the original vehicle) loaner per the text of their warranty policy, and Dahl Ford does not offer any goodwill truck loaners for truck owners – even when the delayed return of the repaired vehicle is the dealership’s fault. Dahl’s five week (total) possession of my truck left me sidelined for four drag races (several of them pre-paid events!) and left me without a truck during the first year of owning an acreage where a truck was required for every large scale house or landscaping project I started. The Ford Fiesta or Escape I received was a pathetic substitute, and I was left dead in the water. When I repeated that the botched repair timeline was leaving me out hundreds of dollars, the best attempt to help was an offer to pay for a Hertz $20.00/day rental but I would be left with paying the $0.80/per mile charge, which would have totaled $800+ dollars for one trip. In summary, Dahl’s five week possession of my truck was a massive inconvenience, and they could not have cared less or tried to help less. It appears Dahl responds to these reviews to give the illusion of post-dissatisfied customer follow-up. I wish the same effort would have went into taking care of a customer who received a brand new lemon truck. The best Dahl Ford offered was a “top” trade-in value for the truck to purchase another new truck to replace it, which means I would have to spend a pile of money I didn’t plan on spending to deal with an issue that was not my fault with a dealership that has been nothing but disappointment. This is unacceptable. A dealership should stand behind their product and services, and Dahl Ford has failed miserably on both fronts. I deeply regret making my first new vehicle purchase with Dahl. I will reply to this review with updates of Dahl follow-up or lack of follow-up.

Dealer response

Dylan, We appreciate your honest feedback in regards to your experience with our service department. It is never our intention to offer anything other than excellent, top notch customer service. Understandably this situation was very frustrating to you, especially the vehicle loaner program that we offer. Because Iowa law does not permit trucks to be used for towing or pulling purposes on a dealer plate, we are unable to offer them to customers for loaner purposes. However this does not dismiss the fact that you were unable to utilize your truck for an extended period of time. At Dahl Ford, we take our customers very seriously and strive to make sure we can come to a resolution to each and every situation. I have authorized a credit to your account in the amount of $500.00. This can be used to purchase parts, used in our service department as well as in our detail center. If you would like to discuss this further a member of our management team will be more than happy to sit down and talk with you.

No pressure car buying experience.

Was in and out in less than three hours. Staff was very courteous and helpful. Terry, finance, was knowledgeable and very informative. Would have preferred sales staff explain more about the features of the car, especially those new technologies.

Thank you for your honest feedback, Terry! We are happy to hear that you were happy with your visit. We're sorry to hear that you did not receive enough of an explanation on the vehicle features! We do have an in house IT Specialist, Dan Medberry, who is available to meet with you to go over all of the features on your new vehicle. I will have him reach out to you to schedule a time to meet. Your business is greatly appreciated and we look forward to meeting with you again soon!

Thank you for the offer. Look forward to the call and meet.

Oil change

Went in for a routine oil change. The checked everything on my seldom driven 2014 Mustang. With it being 5 years old ( got it in '13, they pointed out it needed a new battery. Gave me a price which was less that most places I checked I opted to replace myself. I like to wrench on my cars.
