Overall satisfied

Bought a used Explorer, and my 3rd purchase from Van Horn over the last 8 years. What you have to be aware of with this dealership is their purchasing of buybacks. Knowing that going in (if you're lucky enough), the sales rep was very open about this particular vehicle, showed me the history, which to me was extremely minor (mostly trim clip issues). Either way, they'll stand behind what you purchase. The only thing I can say that was an overall unpleasant experience was the 4 hours from start to finish, which is over 2X's the excruciating time and pain of listening to a 90 minute time share presentation. I wish the industry would do something about that & am certain its not just exclusive to Van Horn dealerships.

Good people make a good experience

I began my vehicle search long before ending up at Van Horn. Other dealerships got me in the door with advertised prices that I liked, but sent me out the door with excuses of why they couldn't provide the vehicle at the price I came in looking for. I found vehicle at Van Horn that I liked, and when I called about it my experience was very positive. Knowing I had over an hour drive to get up there, I didn't want a bait and switch on the truck I wanted, so before leaving town, I called again and they even text me a picture of the vehicle and said they would have it out ready for me when I arrived. These guys gave me what I was looking for with no hassle, no pressure, and provided a genuinely great experience. In response to other reviews left: my vehicle was also part of Ford's buyback program. This enabled the dealership to sell the vehicle at a significantly discounted rate. The sales team explained the entire process to me and indicated all repairs made to fix the original issues. Both Ford and the dealership stood behind their work with the original factory warranty as well as providing an additional warranty (yes at an addition price, but that is the same for any extended warranty from anywhere). I was very satisfied with the entire experience.

***** Best Buying Experience Ever***** In 25 Years

Van Horn Ford has the Best sales process I've ever been a part of !!! I drove 150 miles to buy a FordTaurus SHO, and I would do it again !!! Knowledgeable, Friendly, Patient, Thorough, Professional, & Complete is what comes to mind with this 1st Class Dealership !!! I've purchased a lot of cars in my life and this was by far the smoothest transaction I've ever made !!! The internet sales manager Alaina hooked me up with my salesman Bill... who knew his stuff !!! The two of them made this an experience I'll never forget !!! Thanks Van Horn Team

Great dealership and customer service!

I recently purchased a Ford Fusion Hybrid from Van Horn and the experience was great. They were all welcoming, nice and patient. The facility is beautiful and the personnel are amazing. I appreciate Robert Reid for his professionalism and car advice. What an awesome guy! I eventually financed through them as well. Thanks, Nery!

Amazing Experience

My wife and I came in to look at a new truck and while there is always a level of uncertainty when walking into a dealership (at least for me) the folks at Van Horn made the entire experience unbelievably easy. A no pressure approach from the salesman (Bill) inspired us to believe that not only was he working to "earn our business", but also to keep our best interests as a top priority. In the days following they follow up was impeccable - true customer service. I will certainly keep my business with the Van Horn family.

Our New Ford Edge

We hadn't bought a new car for about seven years so we were very careful and kind of nervous about such a big expenditure. Bill K was knowledgeable, friendly, and made us comfortable right from the start. All the people we met at Van Horn just reinforced our trust in the Dealership and convinced us this was the right group to work with. There were no surprises at the closing which went quick and smooth. They even found us financing at an interest rate half a point less than we thought possible. We are pleased that we chose to buy a new car from Van Horn Oconomowoc and will have our cars' servicing done there as well.

Seamless Car Buying Experience!!

I live 2 hours away from Van Horn Ford and found this dealership/my new vehicle online. I'm still in awe at how seamless this process was!! I have purchased quite a few vehicles in my lifetime, I never had the process go as quickly and smoothly as this go round. Thanks Robert and Nery!! I couldn't be more pleased with how I was able to have everything taken care of and ready to go prior to us making the trip in... Very Convenient!! I also commend them on their delivery time flexibility and respect for your time. I arrived (later then expected), they still had everything set and ready for me and we were in and out in no time...SEAMLESS!! They really go above and beyond for people here and I WILL definitely recommend them to any and everyone I cross paths with looking to purchase a vehicle. THANKS FOR EVERYTHING ROBERT AND NERY!!
