Took my truck in for an oil change and a check engine
Took my truck in for an oil change and a check engine light. They did a great job keep me informed all through the repair process. Was very happy with the work and they had my truck ready when promised
Love it
We have owned a 2012 explorer since it was brand new. Lots of room for cargo. Lots of leg room Powerful We do routine oil changes on it Amd fix whatever needs tending to…..Our yearly to year and a half maintenance that needs doing is rear bushings that run about 350 The paint chipped on the front hood a few years back but no rust there yet. I am starting to notice a bit of rust starting down by driver door probably from salt from the roads in our Canadian winters. But it handles amazing on ice and snow (with winter tires of course). Driver door rear has started to unstitch. The original Headlights were phenomenal to see down our dark deer filled hiways. However we changed them out and they are not in comparison to what we had. We also just changed our brakes. For having 282+ KMs in it. I will be driving it until it drops

Very Nice Vehicle
Ive owned a 2012 Ford Explorer Limited since 2014 and it’s been a very reliable vehicle for me and my family. The 3.5L V6 has a lot of get-up-and-go and it’s very comfortable.

Great company
We had a great experience with this company. Brenda was very professional and did a wonderful job yet she was very personable as well. What a great lady to work with.
2012 front suspension?????
It has been a very good car except a couple of times I have had a very hard time turning & now there is a popping in the front when turning the wheel especially backing up. I called Ford & they told me if I live on a dirt road that year is notorius for getting dirt up in the suspension. They said they could change it out & charge me several hundred dollars & I would be right back in next year with the same problem. However I am kinda worried about this & hauling my grandchildren & others around. I asked if they had that much problem why are they not recalled with a new part that doesn't do that??

So happy we went to exotic motors for our 2019
So happy we went to exotic motors for our 2019 rava4 They are very helpful, personable and they really care about making your purchase the best experience for you ….they are even going out of there way to get a second remote key for my car…. They are a small business but do what they can to have you come back thanks for a great experience he treated us like he would want someone to treat himself very respectful 😁
Does what it needs to do
This car is great if you're moving a lot of people or cargo. It's a great towing machine (I towed campers and boats with it, never had a problem) and comfortably seats 7. It may not be as "manly" looking as a huge pickup, but it's a practical choice. If you're looking for a affordable car to put your whole family while towing the boat to the lake, this is the one for you.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I purchased my BMW M340i from Liberty Auto Land 2
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I purchased my BMW M340i from Liberty Auto Land 2 and couldn’t be happier with the experience. From start to finish, everything was smooth, transparent, and professional. Michael went above and beyond—hands down one of the best salesmen I’ve worked with. He was knowledgeable, honest, and genuinely cared about making sure I got the right car. A huge thank you to Sean as well for helping close the deal and making the entire process stress-free. The team treated me with respect and made buying a car an enjoyable experience. I absolutely love my BMW M340i and would highly recommend Liberty Auto Land 2 to anyone looking for quality cars and top-tier customer service.
