Guaranteed Motor Cars Lake Villa review
I was skeptical at first buying a car sight unseen, however josh and marko addressed my concerns from the beginning and made it by far the easiest car transactions I have had. They facetimed me around the car and did not just rush through it, they took their time pointing out any blemish and rock chip to make sure I felt assured knowing what I was buying. They truly are great people to work with, they had me financed at an excellent rate and even took my trade in from florida. Certainly will be doing business with them again and recommending! A+ Team

Andrew made the car shopping process a breeze. He was prompt, no-nonsense, and got me the information I needed without pressure. He was a pleasure to work with. This dealership never tried to price gouge and I appreciated the open communication and honest prices.
2012 Ford Explorer review
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??

2012 Ford Explorer review
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.

2012 Ford Explorer review
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

We bought a car from them on 8/20/25 and it was a great experience. Jossue and Tim were Great people to work with. Definitely would do it again.
2012 Ford Explorer review
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.

Hoblit Motors Ford review
The staff was extremely kind and helpful in both sourcing the perfect truck that we were looking for and managing the trade-in process. They were open and transparent at all stages of the buying process and wanted to make sure that we felt that we were getting a good deal on a great truck. We couldn't be happier and have already recommended the team at Hoblit Ford in Colusa to numerous friends.
