They were really helpful throughout the whole process.
They were really helpful throughout the whole process. Very accommodating to me as I tried out a few cars. The service center has been really nice. I don't find getting my oil changed the most fun thing in the world, but they have a great space to hangout while my car is being serviced.
I love my ST all except for seating.
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.

Love my truck that I just bought!! Lester from start to finish was very professional and honest. Would recommend everyone to buy a car here. Not only have I bought a car from here but my wife and my dad have too. Everyone that works at this place has a great attitude!

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.

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!!!

D Patrick is a great place to buy a car.
Taylor Nichols did a great job when I bought my new Mustang. The entire process went smoothly & all the staff was very friendly. I would definitely recommend them.
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.

Great People. Great Cars. Great Deals.
Tipton Ford has OUTSTANDING customer service! I am extremely happy with the purchase of my truck. My experience was so much better, easier, and faster than any other dealership, and I will definitely be back. Caleb and Cory are very knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. They took good care of me, gave me a great deal, and I walked out with a massive upgrade. This was my second purchase from Tipton Ford in under a year.

I had an amazing experience at Carmel Auto Gallery!
I had an amazing experience at Carmel Auto Gallery! Michael G was truly awesome—there was absolutely no pressure, and he took the time to understand our needs and budget. He helped us find the perfect truck, a 2017 F-150, and made the entire process smooth and stress-free. A huge thank you to Nikita as well for working hard to get us a financing rate that was even better than what our bank offered. The entire team was friendly, professional, and genuinely cared about making sure we got the best deal possible. If you're looking for a great car-buying experience, I highly recommend Carmel Auto Gallery!

I met Bill Vickery in the car lot as I drove through looking at new cars. He found out what I was looking for. I made an appointment and came in 2 days later. There was no pressure to come in sooner. I ended up trading a 2023 Forester for the new 2025 Forester Hybrid. I love this car. It's so easy to drive and has a comfortable ride. Three days later I drove that car 700 miles in 10 hrs 15 min stopping for gas just once. Not bad for this 80 yr old! I can highly recommend my salesman who has been with Tom Wood many years. He and Max made the buying experience quite pleasant. And, did I say I love my car??
