Erika was so personable, wonderful, and knowledgeable in answering any questions I had in regards to my new car in email/texts the few days before I came down from Minnesota to pick my car up! Also, both Jeff and Austin were really great in going over everything I needed to know in regards to my new Ford Taurus before I left the dealership!

Versatile SUV

Very comfortable, good performance, nice amenities. Having had the previous version of Sync, the Sync 3 on this model is MILES ahead in user-friendliness and options. The vehicle is very quiet on the highway and excellent on road trips. Very happy with the purchase!

Sam's Riverside Inc. Review

Turned A Tough Situation A Great Experience

by Jay Snyder from Des Moines, Iowa

December 3, 2018

2.9 (32 reviews)

I purchased a low mileage used Suzuki from Sam's and had a great experience at the store, throughout the buying process. Unfortunately, less than a week and half later, the engine block blew out and I knew that we did not have a warranty on the vehicle. I called Sam's in a panic, as we definitely could not afford to be without a car but also couldn't afford to pay full price for another one. I spoke with Brooke's and he was very compassionate and understanding of our situation and worked with us to make things right, even though they hadn't done anything wrong and had no legal obligation to do so. I wish their were more dealerships like this out there! They treated us like, I assume, they would want to be treated in this situation: with compassion and understanding.

Decent service

Kristine VanWinkle was very rude and disrespectful when I went in for my estimate. She was very rude on the phone when I was told I would have the estimate emailed to me and had to call and remind them because I had yet to get it. She rolled her eyes when I had to go to my car to get my insurance information as if i was wasting her time and she would rather be doing other things.I wouldn't ever go back to have to deal with her. Haris was very nice and helpful during the process. I was updated by him on the progress and when they found additional damage. I wish I would have also had a time it would have been done so I could have had set time in getting my rental car back to the shop and get my car in the same trip.

Stivers Ford Lincoln Review

Stiver's Ford - Waukee, Ia Service Department

by Mark Sammons from Urbandale, IA

November 6, 2018

4.1 (48 reviews)

My service adviser, Austin, is great. Very friendly, detailed, honest, and knows his business and what to recommend that needs attention immediately ad what is minor and can wait, if needed. Shop prices are fair and competitive and quality is guaranteed. I did not purchase my vehicle at this dealership, but service has been excellent and prices fair and reasonable. The president of the company is accessible and seems to have an open door policy for customers. Although I did not purchase my vehicle from this dealership, my overall experience with this dealership has proven very favorable and I would, definitely, consider my next purchase, as well as, service from Stiver's Ford/Lincoln in Waukee, IA. I have nothing negative to say about any experience thus far in 4 years, but lots of positives to say about them. Recommendation is to buy from them, but if you don't buy, my recommendation is to, at least, have then service your vehicle, as you will be well satisfied with both price and quality of maintenance/repairs.

Great midsize SUV

Handles great. Plenty of power. Roomy. Good interior design. Lots of extras. Economical. Laying down the back seats gives you plenty of room or stand them up to haul a couple more people.

Feels like an expensive car for a great price!

by TMichel from Indianapolis, IN

February 26, 2019

This car has all the bells and whistles one would expect from a premium vehicle, but at a much more affordable price. The interior is sleek and accommodating, as well as comfortable. I love the double panel sunroof and the heated seats! So far it's doing decent on gas mileage for considering its size. It also doesn't feel like driving a tank, it maneuvers well and rides smoothly!

Taking my vehicle to Deery Chevrolet in Pleasant Hill, Iowa is the best decision I can make. They keep my vehicle running well and keeps repair prices competitive. The work is always completed in a timely manner and there is no return trips for incomplete work done. Their courtesy drivers are great about taking me home and picking me up so I don't have to spend my time at the dealership while my vehicle is being serviced. Great place to go for all my vehicle needs.

Ames Ford Lincoln Review

Exceptional!

by John George from Augusta, Kansas

November 6, 2018

4.6 (76 reviews)

I have been looking for a new car for about two months now and decided to look into a new Ford. A few weeks ago I was attending a wresting camp in Iowa and decided to conpare prices to those in Kansas. Ames Ford and Lincoln was one of the dealerships I looked at while I was in Iowa. I was blown away by the customer service. The business was very well organized and I received great support from the staff. One employee named Kerrigan, made my experience exceptional! He left a great impression of himself and Ames Ford and Lincoln. Although I did not buy a vehicle, Mr. Kohnen made my experience at Ames Ford and Lincoln exceptional. I would highly recommend looking into buying a car from this dealership.

Wilson Toyota of Ames Review

Quality service

We just purchased our second new Toyota vehicle from Wilson Toyota in Ames. We purchased a Toyota Venza in 2013. That purchase experience went smoothly, and we have been very satisfied with the car. Wilson Toyota has handled all service for our Venza, and we have been highly satisfied with their customer service. Our positive experience brought us back to Wilson Toyota for our most recent purchase of a 2018 Highlander Hybrid. We spent a considerable amount of time with our sales rep, Jacob Harmelink, exploring vehicle features of both the RAV4 and the Highlander before settling on the Highlander Hybrid. Because Wilson Toyota didn't have a vehicle on the lot that had the specific features we preferred, Jacob arranged to get our vehicle from another dealer. In the end, we got the vehicle we wanted. Finalizing the purchase went very smoothly. Thus, we've had another positive purchase experience with Wilson Toyota.

My background is with higher-end retail sales, unfortunately, I loathe shopping for a new vehicle. I am not exactly a "dream customer". Fortunately, Dan Holz, was very responsive to my myriad of tech questions and applied the appropriate nudges to keep this deal going forward. I was impressed with the dealership's flexibility and an amicable purchase price was decided upon. Despite being 156 miles away, Dan at Wilson Toyota, will be my first call regarding any future purchases. The child's letter adorning his office wall was pure gold and this old sales rep even learned a few things. Thank you Dan, and Wilson for the new truck. Karl

Deery of Ames CDJR Review

Go to Deery of Ames and ask for Geoffrey Brown

by Christian is a fan from Collins, IA

November 6, 2018

4.9 (878 reviews)

This was our second purchase at Deery of Ames, and it matched our first, although the cast of characters was different than the first The overall process was wonderful and painless. Geoffrey (yes, i spelled it correctly) was a true pleasure to deal with. He ended up more of a friend than a salesman after busting his butt to help us get the deal we wanted/needed. His personable nature and relaxed negotiating was a refreshing change from the usual "chasers" one deals with when driving onto a dealership. Our finance guy, Doug was also extremely helpful to us when it came down to the end result. Doug was able to facilitate the closing of the deal to everyone's satisfaction and was so polite and eager to please. If you need to buy a new or used car, go to Deery in Ames and ask for Geoff. He is very easygoing and won't try to con you. If you have done your research (like my wife did) and know what you want, he will do all he can to make it happen and Doug will be straightforward with you and make sure you get what you need. In the end, my experience was pleasant, un-pressured and successful. I cannot say enough good things about Geoffrey Brown!
