I purchased my first truck from Red McCombs and now my second. Great selection of vehicles to chose from. Talented people to work with. Thanks for the opportunity and when I’m in the market again I will look to Red McCombs first.

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.

Kyle my sales rep was fantastic. Would have gone to another dealership if it wasn’t for getting to work with him.
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!!!

Great service!
We walked away with two 2024 Hyundai Palisades Calligraphy models and our sales agent Joseph Piette made the experience exceptional! He got us great prices for our trade-in and got us a great deal without being pushy! My husband and I felt like we could enjoy the buying experience without pressure which sold us even more! If you go to Red Mccombs Hyundai NW ask for Joseph Piette! He’ll get you in the right deal and vehicle! We left with our vehicles same day which was the icing on the cake!!!
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.

My wife Linda took it in for servicing and one of your associates texted me to see if we wanted the current value. Her meeting with you led to both of us heading back to the dealership?she fell in love with the 2026 calligraphy! Hybrid! Our history with Principle?with Marco, the service dept, Ross and now you and other members of the staff?.could not be better! Clean facilities, professional staff and an excellent automobile?.could not ask for more. Our thanks to everyone at Principle. Mike and Linda Sheridan 10/24/25

Dan Emrie and Steve were amazing at Jordan Ford, San Antonio! Best experience buying a vehicle I’ve ever had!! They did everything/anything I asked for to get the sale completed and made the experience actually enjoyable. Almost like buying a vehicle from your best friends. If you need a vehicle, and want to work with people who actually care about you and your needs, go see these guys at Jordan Ford. I’ll only do deals with Dan and Steve from here on out.

It is my honor and privilege to recommend my new Friend,
It is my honor and privilege to recommend my new Friend, MATTHEW MARTIN, of STEELE AUTO GROUP of San Antonio, as the salesperson you want to represent and assist you with your next vehicle purchase…His professionalism is only preceded by his politeness and attention to detail in every part of your car-buying experience…From my initial request to gain information until I received the keys to our “new to us” 2004 Thunderbird, Matthew attended to all our needs with Style and Grace. …His knowledge of the Auto industry is shared in a soft-spoken “I care about you/I’m here for you” personal style! If he doesn’t know the answer to a question you might ask, he does his best to find out. The owners/managers of the dealership he represents, show great wisdom in hiring young me of his caliber to represent them. We were treated with respect and honor from everyone in this fine dealership, Each one went the “extra mile” to insure the used vehicle we purchased from them was worthy of having their name placed on the bumper. They repaired/replaced obvious parts that had the potential to cause us immediate future problems, for which myself or any buyer would be extremely grateful… I won’t neglect to mention the courtesy and expertise of Rollin Collin’s, the finance representative or the name I fail to remember of the employee who did the final detail on this 20 year old car…he did an amazing job… If you are looking for a new Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge or Ram or a quality used vehicle, I believe you will be highly satisfied in your buying experience from STEELE AUTO GROUP NORTH ⭐️STAR…San Antonio 🤗

My salesman John Anderson made the whole experience
My salesman John Anderson made the whole experience unforgettable – turns out it was the first car he ever sold completely on his own, so we were both a little excited and nervous together. He was patient, honest, and genuinely thrilled to help me find the perfect one. No pressure, just real care and great energy from start to finish. John, congrats on your first solo sale – you crushed it! Thank you for making my first car (and yours) so special.
