Super friendly, clean facilities.
Super friendly, clean facilities. Experienced Service Advisor Rosario! Life time warranty on parts and 2 yr on labor! Definitely, you get why you paid for!
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.

I've been buying cars from Dado Motors for the past 15
I've been buying cars from Dado Motors for the past 15 years — 11 vehicles and counting — and I can confidently say there’s no one else I trust more when it comes to purchasing a car. Every experience has been smooth, honest, and professional. Dado and his team go above and beyond to ensure customer satisfaction, and their commitment to quality and integrity is second to none. Whether I was looking for something practical, sporty, or family-friendly, Dado always took the time to understand my needs and helped me find the perfect fit — without any pressure or gimmicks. The vehicles have always been reliable and well-priced, and the customer service is truly top-tier! If you're looking for a dealership that stands by their word and values long-term relationships over quick sales, look no further than Dado Motors. I'm a lifelong customer for a reason.
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.

I can't say enough about our experience buying a
I can't say enough about our experience buying a certified pre-owned outback yesterday. Our sales consultants, Ismael and Dina were terrific. They answered all our questions and never made us feel rushed. Took time to explain all the features and had our vehicle sparkling and road ready at pick up. Great job!
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.

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

Found the car I wanted, at the price I needed.
AMD was the only dealer close to me that had exactly what I was looking for. I walked in with all the usual used car buying dread and was pleasantly surprized to find that things were quite easily done. I had taken the time to get preapproval by the bank, The dealership prepped the car for me and was willing to go out of his way to accomodate my needs to make sure even my wife was happy with the purchase. Reading some of their lower ratings, can see fault in some of the buyers expectations. I couldn't be happier. No fee gouging, all explained to my satisfaction. I would recommend this dealer highly.
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!

Kenneth was awesome to work with!
Kenneth was awesome to work with! Super professional, easy to talk to and patient. He made the whole car-buying process smooth and stress-free. He really took the time to answer all my questions and made sure I got exactly what I was looking for. Definitely recommend asking for Kennith if you’re buying a car — he’ll take great care of you!
