We recently visited the dealership to buy a car and had the pleasure of working with Ali, the sales representative. He was incredibly helpful, patient, and professional throughout the entire process. Ali answered all my questions in detail and guided me based on my needs without any pressure. His honest approach and friendly attitude made the experience smooth and comfortable. I highly recommend Ali to anyone looking to purchase a car. ❤️1

Marcel always does an outstanding job.
Marcel always does an outstanding job. The Best! I always bring my car into Carvision for service Service dept.
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.

Service was excellent from time I pulled into Service Area. Brandon greeted me and was very polite and helpful.
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.

Working with Travis Small was such a pleasure!
Working with Travis Small was such a pleasure! He’s super knowledgeable and made the whole process feel nice and seamless. We literally laughed through the entire purchase, he kept things fun while still making sure I understood every step! What I appreciated most was how patient and thorough he was. This was my first ever car purchase, and I couldn’t have asked for a better person to guide me through it. If you want someone who’s honest, funny, and genuinely cares about his customers, go see Travis! James, who handled the financing, was amazing too. I was a little nervous going in, as I’m still building my credit, but they both made everything smooth, stress-free, and actually enjoyable. James even took the time to answer my questions after I left the dealership, which meant a lot! Now I have my beautiful Chevy and an awesome dealership that’s earned a loyal customer!
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.

Engine light came on, rough shifting, Adam in Service
Engine light came on, rough shifting, Adam in Service dept fit my truck in for diagnostics within a week. Tech found bad coil, replaced and repaired, also suggested new wires and battery was needing to be replace really low crank, all work completed and again on the road after 310,000 miles. I have had only good experiences with the service department staff and techs. Sometimes it cost some money but its a machine and if you take care or it, it will last.

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!

Quality vehicles sold here
This is my second van I purchased here. My first one was a 1996 Aerostar back in 2015 and it was really clean and drove nice. I never had major issues. It was best experience and best used vehicle I got. It ended up getting t boned in little less than year having it. I was happy to have found another van there. I called and asked if they had vans. The one they had was higher priced than what I could get. Brandon told me he was getting one next day. When I talked to him on phone about it, it sounded like it would be a great van. I am happy to have made my purchase there. I have had great customer service experience from there. Also when you walk away making a purchase, you are happy with vehicle and walk away without regret. I recommend anyone to purchase from Auto Direct. The vehicles are clean, great customer service, and great vehicles. I was very happy to make a second purchase here. I shopped around at few places also recently. I was happy they were getting a van for my price range and very confident on the quality of it. I have three children and this van will tremendously help.

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.
