Vic was a great aid in getting our new Expedition.
Vic was a great aid in getting our new Expedition. Made the process eay. We will want to deal with him again for our next acquisition.
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.

Excellent service.
Excellent service. Tony Potts is the best. He’s no nonsense and enjoys his job.
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.

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.

"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!"

Arthur Morgan was an excellent salesman.
Arthur Morgan was an excellent salesman. He made things quick and easy. It was, by far, the best dealership experience we have ever had. We made one phone call to him, drove to the dealership and he already had car detailed before we even bought it! Knowledgeable and experienced staff.

Just purchased m 7th truck from general manager Dennis
Just purchased m 7th truck from general manager Dennis Koulatsos. I've been buying trucks from Dennis since I first met him in 1991. He is the consumate professional, and I've referred all of my family members and dozens of friends to him, and he's taken very good care of all of them. Dennis is fiercely loyal, a man of his word, and he always goes the extra mile.

My Buick dealer had gone out of business unbeknownst to
My Buick dealer had gone out of business unbeknownst to me and my “shift to park” would not shut off and prevented me from turning the car off. I had a Nissan 6 years ago and was treated well at Coastal and George Sullivan and went there. Although my car is a GM George and the wonderful staff saw to my needs and the shift assembler was obtained and fixed. Kudos to George Sullivan(no relation!.
