I love my ST all except for seating. I’m just not a fan of European style seating soo we had an upholstery shop up grade them. Sooo much fun to drive! Great gas mileage considering I’m a lead foot. And when needed you can put a full 4x8 sheet of plywood in the back.

Subaru review
This is second Subaru purchased from this dealership this dealership. Both times were stress free with professional sales. Service department is the reason I purchase Subaru's. Not only do you get a quality product, the service department and their staff are beyond compare.

Great Sales Professional
Jacob Johnson is the best he put me in the vehicle I wanted at a great price he walked me through the whole process with no issues

I often drive to the Michigan upper pennisula in the winter. This SUV has never disappointed me. One time I was driving up to Sault Ste Marie early in the morning. The road was slippery with blowing snow. The outside air temp was MINUS 41. i was alone with hardly ever seeing another vehicle. I kept thinking "trust this vehicle" because my life literally depended on it. I had no problems. And everything was on high - the defroster, rear defrost, heated steering wheel, heated seat, radio and keeping my phone charger plugged in. And in case you wonder why I would venture out in these conditions - I was called for jury duty and made it on time !! It has also gotten me out of deep snow.

Visited this dealer couple years ago for routine
Visited this dealer couple years ago for routine maintenance as it?s closer to my home vs where I purchased my KIA Niro in 2020. At that time was longer wait times and wait room wasn?t as nice as it is now. Went in Aug 2025 mid morning on a week day for 50k service and waited about 1 1/2 hrs. At first was ignored by female staff on computer who didn?t even acknowledge me, even after poking my head around monitor. She didn?t acknowledge other customers waiting and preferred to work computer or make calls without acknowledging waiting customers with service appointments. But another staff Alex, helped check me in and was very helpful and gave excellent customer service. The waiting area has improved with complementary water and coffee/tea bar and 2 areas with tv or work space. Love the coffee machine just needs to be stocked with cream/milk to be right up there with Starbucks:). A very pleasant waiting room and most staff are very customer service friendly. I?ll be returning for next routine service and hope all staff are like Alex next time.
Explorer GREAT design!
The ford explorer is an outstanding suv. The new design in 2020 is stylish and the rear wheel drive/4 wheel drive option is state of the art. The ecoboost engines are economical and extremely powerful. Ford dealers are everywhere! Ford parts are common and easy to obtain! I looked at the competitors. Front wheel drive is not suitable for trucks in my opinion. The handling of a rear wheel drive vehicle is outstanding. I actually have a 2022 platinum with the 3.0 v6 and this 2021 base with the 2.3 4 cylinder. Happy with each!!!

My car came in with the engine light. The service department found the issue, unfortunately was not able to fix it due to my warranty. Great customer service and assist me every step of the way
love the Ride
First time Explorer owner, had an Expedition that I loved but it was too high for my wife, so it went to our son. The Explorer Limited is lower, but still higher than a crossover or sedan which helps my visability. Love the electronics but concerned that they will have problems later on so I purchased a dealer extended warranty (bumper to bumper) that is 10 years 125,000 additional miles for piece of mind. Car drives like a dream, is VERY comfortable, has more than enough power even with the 4cyl (used to V8's). Gas mileage even with 4WD is great (23 city and almost 29 highway) not climbing hills. We will see how it does when we go north.

I had a very positive car buying experience working with CJ. From start to finish, he was attentive, objective, communicative, and transparent. He took the time to answer all my questions, kept me informed throughout the process, and made sure everything went smoothly. I really appreciated his professionalism—no pressure, just helpful guidance. Highly recommend working with CJ if you're in the market for a new vehicle!

I am so glad I found the MOGF Service Department, and specifically Michelle. I tend to get a sense of a place as soon as I walk in, whether I want to do business with them or not, and all I got was good vibes from them. Michelle was patient, funny, thorough, and empathetic. Definitely made a stressful situation so much better.

Was provided good service with them.
Was provided good service with them. I went to check out a Nissan Sentra for my daughter but came out with 2020 Kia Soul which was better/ comfortable car. Smooth finance team and process. My only advice is if you buy a Kia make sure you know if your current insurance will cover the car and look at the cost. That was my mistake (it was on a Sunday) because I was told things were good with insurance company's covering Kia. I was going to return the Kia and get something else because they don't have a return policy. But, my daughter loves the car but will trade it in about 5 months and get something else from Atlanta Used Cars.
