Two friends recommended Hawkins.
Two friends recommended Hawkins. Recently purchased my car. Great service and friendly staff. Troy Sunken was great to work with.
Highly recommend buying a used 2018 Explorer
This is my fourth Explorer. I decided in 2018 to order the top-of-the-line Platinum. This vehicle has all the bells and whistles for a person that wants the luxury of one of Fords top models. It has Platinum leather seats that are very comfortable. If you can find today, buy it. It has the 3.5L V6 that has great power on acceleration. You can only buy a V6 now on the 2025 Explorer ST which is a 3.0L. The cost is around $60,000 Loaded.

Arid helped with my car.
Arid helped with my car. Did amazing and love it. Definitely an upgrade from my old car
3rd row seat folding mechanism
Love this car overall but I have only one complaint. I was putting some boxes in the rear of the car and one of the boxes must have touched the the rear seat folding mechanism as all of a sudden it tried to unfold the seats. If my grandchildren had been sitting there strapped in I hate to think what may have happened!! Wish you had coverage over the mechanism so this wouldn’t happen.

Colton Biss was our sales rep, and he could not have been
Colton Biss was our sales rep, and he could not have been better! So friendly, professional, and competent. He was very knowledgeable about the car I ended up buying, and thorough as far as going thru the car’s features. He even made sure that I had his personal cell phone if I have follow-up questions about the car. I’d highly recommend Colton and Corwin dealership in Nampa!
My dream car
This is my 4th Ford Explorer over the last 20 years and I am very happy. Every time I upgrade is nicer in every aspect. I am glad that after so many people telling me to just go to another style and company, I made the right decision.

Great experience.
Great experience. It was fun. Got what we wanted at a good price. Truck had a lot of cool features and they took the time to show me how they worked
Very good car, durable and trustworthy
Love the inside room, 3rd row seat and the fact that the 2nd and 3rd row can be collapsed. Love the rear camera and all of the functions of being able to bring my phone apps up on the screen. So good for our very busy, on the go lifestyle

Hands down the smoothest, friendliest car buying
Hands down the smoothest, friendliest car buying experience I've ever had. Sean was awesome and so was the finance manager who stayed late to finish the paperwork.

I recently had a fantastic experience purchasing my new Silverado 1500 at Bridgewater Chevy. From the moment I walked in Sal made me feel welcome with no pressure, professional approach. Sal was incredibly knowledgeable about the entire lineup and took the time to explain all the features and options clearly, I really appreciated their honesty and patience as we worked through the numbers and the financing options with Jamal. The entire process was seamless and stress-free. I highly recommend Sal and the team at Bridgewater Chevy to anyone in the market for a new car; they truly went above and beyond to ensure I was satisfied.

This dealership doesn’t negotiate price.
This dealership doesn’t negotiate price. I randomly walked in one day and Michel helped me out, he sent me different car options over a few days and ultimately helped me purchase a great car. It was a quick and easy process which I appreciated and also a no pressure environment which was nice.

"I just picked up a 2026 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali Ultimate
"I just picked up a 2026 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali Ultimate from Ed Martin Buick GMC, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Arthur-Zarddy Gwion Jr. was phenomenal to work with. He treated the whole process with the level of professionalism you’d expect when buying a flagship truck. He was transparent, knowledgeable about the new tech, and made sure every detail was perfect. If you’re looking for a high-end vehicle and want a high-end experience to match, go see Arthur!"
