I have to give a huge thank you to these guys.
I have to give a huge thank you to these guys. Right from when I stepped in the door, Eugene was all about helping me find the right car. He was patient, professional, and incredibly helpful. It's rare to get that level of customer service anymore.
Bought this car in 2019 as my daily driver.
Bought this car in 2019 as my daily driver. It has enough space to transport my large and was very reliable until about 160,000 miles. Gasket seal and O2 sensors failed causing me $800 in repairs. Not super expensive, but like the previous review says check to see if there are any open recalls. Currently at 230,000 miles and still driving. If you follow the suggested maintenance schedule you'll be fine. If not, you'll be in for some trouble.

My overall experience was great and fast.
My overall experience was great and fast. I got to test drive the vehicle along with got hands on knowledge of the vehicle. The two gentleman David & Rudy were pleasant and hospitable with my mom and me. We got to drive my new vehicle off the lot. I am happy!!
Transmission problem
I have owned Toyota and Honda vehicles for years. I love the space and comfort of my Ford Explorer. However I'm at 68k miles and just had to have my transmission rebuilt. If I didn't love the comfort and ride of this vehicle so much, I would trade it in tomorrow. I have my fingers crossed and praying this vehicle will hold out to 200k miles.

Thank you Daniel of Fairfield !
I had to take a car back due to unforeseen circumstances on my side and it was easy as they helped me to find something more affordable and reliable in my price range. I took the current vehicle to my mechanic and not a issue at all. I have been working with Daniel Ross for months to find something and he is amazing and treats folks as he would wish to be treated. Please go see him you will not regret this choice. Thanks Daniel!
Explorers are great
I have had several Explorers all have been great vehicles. My newest is only a couple years old. I also still have a great running 26 year old with almost 200k miles. Never had a big or expensive problem with either. I can say the same for the BMWs, Mercedes and Infinity’s I have owned…Once these expensive vehicles warranty expired everything but their engine seemed to fall apart. My Fords are reliable and never break down (knock on wood) Not flashy like the imports but solid.

I received a welcome greeting on arrival and was taken
I received a welcome greeting on arrival and was taken care of immediately. Brian Brody, the sales specialist, warmly welcomed me and pointed me in the right direction regarding my preferences for a car. He offered other car options to consider. I ended up purchasing one of the other car options. In the end, I was grateful that he pushed me to see everything. The wrap up process was professional and friendly, dealing with the sales manager and finance manager. All in All, I love my new 2026 GMC Terrain

CarNation Motors made the process of buying a car smooth and easy. Mike was great to work with and I didn't feel pressured at all. He was willing to work with me on the price, and he answered all of my questions so that I was certain about my purchase. All in all a great experience. I would definitely recommend!

Saturn Vue
Best place in town to buy a vehicle. I had searched from Niagara County to Rochester. Hands down Village Motors aims to please. I purposely waited to put this review in until my Warranty was up and Winter came. Great news, not 1 problem mechanically and my Saturn Vue handles so awesome in the ice, slush and snow. Just love this vehicle. Thankyou to everyone at Village Motors for working with me and truly making such a big difference in the QUALITY of my LIFE.

I had an outstanding experience at this dealership from start to finish. The entire team was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely focused on helping me find the right vehicle—not just making a sale. They took the time to answer all my questions, explain my options clearly, and never once made me feel pressured. The process was smooth, transparent, and surprisingly quick. The sales staff went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable with my decision I highly recommend this dealership to anyone looking for an stress-free and enjoyable car-buying experience. I’ll definitely be coming back in the future.
