Mr. Alex response immediately is so assuring and caring for his customers.I would not own a Chevrolet if it wasn't for Mr. Alex assurance that they would repair my vehicle anytime I needed it. I am very satisfied of the work that was always done on my vehicle . Thanks to Mr. Alex . he asked the type of employee that you like to work with so professional and nice.

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.

Sales, Service and Financial and Genuis was great no complaints, Great Customer Service, Answer all my questions and i got what vehicle I really wanted
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!!!

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 reached out to West Point Lincoln via email describing
I reached out to West Point Lincoln via email describing what I was looking for and my price range for a vehicle for my retired dad. I was contacted quickly by Michael Cook, who turned out to be such an amazing and personable salesman. Michael not only stayed within our price range but actually put my dad in something that was a better fit than what we originally asked for. He was incredibly organized, knowledgeable, personable, helpful, and extremely friendly throughout the entire process. When we arrived at the dealership to view the car and finalize everything, we were there for maybe only 2 hours – a refreshing change from the typical all-day dealership experience that can be so draining. We then met with Joseph in finance, who was also amazing! He explained everything in detail regarding the steps to finalize our purchase and was genuinely one of the nicest individuals we've encountered. We have always been a Lincoln family, but having additional positive experiences like this further reminds us why we return to Lincoln. It costs nothing to be kind and patient with people, and both Michael Cook and Joseph were not only amazing at their jobs they were genuinely kind individuals. I highly recommend visiting West Point Lincoln you won't be disappointed. Their commitment to exceptional customer service truly sets them apart.

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.

Great experience, highly recommended
While I'm a little tardy on sharing my buying experience at Mac Haik, I can tell you I'm very happy with every aspect of it. Purchased/ordered a new Ford truck over the phone, dealt with Lawrence Gallegos at Mac Haik, easy to work with. Provided me with a great deal, great customer service and made sure everything was exactly as we talked about, even making sure the delivery was accomplished very professionally which included arranging transportation. Many thanks to Mac Haik and Lawrence for making my purchase a pleasure. Highly recommend this dealership

They told me the 8 year old car I was buying was as n good shape. That was an understatement this car was phenomenal in like brand new condition. This was my first online buying experience of a car over 9 hours away (by car). Needless to say I was apprehensive. I am a picky car person like them clean all there and looking like new. All I can say is mission accomplished- great car great dealership!!
