Very knowledgeable and helpful salesman.
Very knowledgeable and helpful salesman. The up selling of warranty and other coverage was presented clearly and no pressure. My experience was very positive.
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.

First time buying a car online.
First time buying a car online. Jeff Rick was great. He made the process easy and answered all my questions about the car. He sent me a video of the car as well. The purchase was quick and easy for being out of state. Just waiting for the car to be transported here which was also easy to set up. Thank you.
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.

Used service express for the first time.
Used service express for the first time. Professional, friendly. I was in the dealerships less than an hour. So happy to have quick service available. Thankyou !
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.

We had an excellent experience with Byerly Ford.
We had an excellent experience with Byerly Ford. We drove up from Tennessee, and they had everything ready when we arrived ? the vehicle, the paperwork, and a clear plan to get us in and out efficiently. From the initial communication to financing, the entire process was smooth, transparent, and quick. There were no surprises, no pressure, and no wasted time, which we really appreciated after making the trip. I would absolutely purchase another vehicle from them again and wouldn?t hesitate to recommend Byerly Ford to anyone looking for a hassle-free buying experience.

We ended up buying a 2025 QX80 Luxe Model..absolutely gorgeous car They went as far as bringing us the vehicle when we started the financing process. I can't say enough about the customer service. If you ever decide to buy a luxury vehicle please go to Crest Infinti..you will blown away with the service they provide.
