F-150 routine service
Timely, friendly service , good customer rep kept me informed at all steps of process. My vehicle was even vacuumed, and it needed it

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.

AJ and the finance team were quick and efficient.
AJ and the finance team were quick and efficient. I bet much appreciate working with them and I'll recommend them to everyone. Very fast and straight forward dealer and I say that having been to three others before.
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 customer service!
Great customer service! And Joshua Hughes gave me the best deal on my new superduty!
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.

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.

Javier awesome service! Adam awesome service! Chad not awesome service! Chad was very condescending. Javier and Adam were good listeners, kind and reassuring; unlike Chad whose attitude was not appropriate for a Service Technician. .

Excellent service
I had a great experience throughout the whole process of purchasing my 2021 Dodge Challenger. First was the help of my salesman Michael who ensured that everything I was looking and asking for was met. Then while waiting for the finance department, Zeke made small talk and ensured I was talking care of as well as helped me understand the line items that were on my order. Then I was greeted by Dennise from financing and she did an outstanding job explaining everything and making it a very smooth and exciting purchase. I highly recommend these three and AutoSavvy of San Antonio. Great job and thank you

Seamless, smooth, and highly recommend working with Cesar
Seamless, smooth, and highly recommend working with Cesar Sena. He made the buying process really easy. Cesar was highly attentive to details, communicated well, and exceeded expectations. The Cavender Chevrolet facility is top notch from their selection, staff, design/layout, and all the way around.
