My VW Golf required replacement of the side view mirror
My VW Golf required replacement of the side view mirror on the passenger side. I had no difficulty making the appointment. My service rep, Daniel Simmons, kept me informed while my car was being repaired. Check in and check out were all done well.
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.

Best car buy experience

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.

Service Dept.
I had a bad experience with the desk clerk not giving me the service I requested which was a diagnostic test to determine why my vehicle was cutting off on me. I made it clear as to what I wanted and even asked if the price was still $155.00. I come back to get my car and it's noted on the ticket that the customer stated the check engine light was on which I never stated. I said hey I never told you that and he responded with that's how he wrote it up so all the codes could get checked. I never had a code issue, but rather a driveability issue. I was beyond mad wasting my day, time, and a 90 mile round trip. I even drove right by Blake Ford because I've never had a issue at Barton with sales or service. There was no charge because there was never a diagnostic test performed but rather the use of a hand held scanner and not the technicians fault at all. He did what the paper work told him to do which was not what the customer requested! The service manager called me the next morning per my request and was very profesional and understandable. He righted the wrong by offering a free diagnostic test and assuring they would try their best to find the issue. They found the throttle body to be gummed up and cleaned it also at no charge and reset the electronical component for the throttle body and test drove it 10 miles. When a service manager goes out of his way to do the right thing you know you are at the right dealership. Thank you Nick for resolution and providing the service I initially requested at no charge. I hope the desk clerk learned a lesson that he should not make the decision to provide the service he thinks suitable but rather provide the actual service the customer requested. I sill give you guys a FIVE STAR rating and will continue to recommend you and know where to go fir my service needs or my next vehicle. Barton Ford is the best dealership in the area in my opinion. Now if you guys would just purchase some comfortable chairs for the lounge you would really have it going on. The most uncomfortable lounge chairs I ever sat in, but then again I was down there for seven hours on my previous visit but very satisfied with the service and profesionalism.
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.

Simply Awesome!!!!
From start to finish my experience was Simply Awesome!! I was referred to the dealership by a friend, he said to ask for Chris, and he will take care of everything. Chris Robinson answered all of my questions, he was very attentive to what I said I wanted in a vehicle and what I didn't want. He even took detailed notes to make sure he got it right! He showed me several vehicles that fit exactly what I was looking for which gave me the freedom of choice to select the best car for me. The finance manager and owner both spoke with me personally and listened to every concern I had and addressed them promptly. At the end of my transaction I had spoken to just about every key player in the dealership and I felt like I was surrounded by good people, that was interested in my needs and not a sale. Go to International Autos, Ask for Chris and tell them Ms. Williams sent you! Trust me you will be happy you did!!!!!
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

Great experience
I went in just to look at a Dodge Ram truck that they had on their lot. I met Mike and he was very friendly and was helpful. I had a Chevy that I wanted to trade in and they were willing to work on a payoff with me. Once I had the truck I was concerned about the front brakes squeaking. I called and spoke to Jay and he told me to bring it in and they’ll address the issue. Alex, who did the work, on the brakes, was very knowledgeable, as a mechanic and he got the problem solved. I am very satisfied with the purchase and would recommend them to friends or family. Hats off to Jay, Mike & Alex👍
100% in love with my Explorer!
I’m absolutely in love with my 2018 Ford Explorer XLT! It’s exterior appearance is eye catching and the inside is so nice. Lots of room and meets all the needs for me and my family!

You can't go wrong with 1 Stop Auto !
My wife and I drove down from Upstate New York to test drive our 2007 Jeep Wrangler . Ken sent me tons of pictures of the undercarriage and all around the Jeep before we traveled to Virginia . We found one minor issue during our test drive , which Ken made sure was corrected ,even though the service area was closing in ten minutes ! Who does that ? They made a customer for life ! Thanks for a pleasant experience

Bought a new 2025 Ford Explorer from Cavalier Ford
Bought a new 2025 Ford Explorer from Cavalier Ford yesterday and hands down this was the smoothest experience buying a vehicle. Georgy’s attention to detail from beginning to end was phenomenal. I highly recommend you see him first if buying a vehicle is in your future!!
