Best customer service ever
I can’t even begin to explain how INCREDIBLE Randy Wise Durand was to our family. After early morning car trouble, they had barely opened their doors for the day on a Saturday and were able to diagnose and get us a rental secured, for our family of 6 no less, in well under an hour. What could have been a stressful, all day ordeal, was taken care of with ease, with understanding and the best customer service we have ever experienced. Service manager Joel, technician Tim and GM Mike went over and above all expectations and helped us out. We will definitely be back and can’t recommend highly enough. Thank you!
Great car
Best car I’ve ever owned. Does everything I want//need it to do. Always starts in the morning. I’ve been camping with it and slept inside the car. Plenty of room

2023 Ford Explorer XLT
Have only had vehicle for 3 weeks but really like it. I’ve had F150’s for the past 12 years and thought I’d miss my truck, but I’m really enjoying this explorer. It’s more comfortable and fun to drive and the gas mileage is better.

Great experience!!
I bought a 2021 Chevy Spark last Friday from La Fontaine and was equally impressed by the handling of the application for a loan and the outstanding knowledge of my salesman, Allen! I will most definitely reccomend both the dealership and my salesman to everyone I know! I received a call back tg e following day from Allan, he wanted to make sure learnt having any issues with the car! Now, that's going above and beyond to me!!
Nice vehicle
Quiet, comfortable and powerful car. I have the twin turbo that puts out 400 hp. General gas mileage is 19-20 city and 24-25 highway. The only thing that I would change on this vehicle is that I would like to be able to turn off some of the automatic operations on a semi-permanent basis.

My sales person, Damon Peele, was awesome to wirk with. It took a couple weeks but he came through with the vehicle I purchased. Great work, Damon!!!
Impressive
This is the first explorer that I have owned in nearly 30 years. I am coming from a ram 1500. I am surprised how comfortable this explorer is I’m really enjoying the gas mileage between 21 to 23 in town. I have not taken a trip on the highway yet.

GREAT EXPERIENCE
our salesman, Steve T. treated us great. We stopped to look at a vehicle that was online. We briefly looked at that vehicle and didn't want it. After telling Steve exactly what we wanted, he searched the entire inventory and found a truck that had just come in in trade. We also talked to Joe and Dave during our purchase process. All 3 of these gentlemen were extremely helpful and great to do business with. I would highly recommend this dealership

Excellent experience
I can't believe the excellent service we received, from beginning to end. Ryan Vandevenne was in contact every step of the way. He found us the exact truck we wanted, answered all our questions via phone and text and delivered our truck right to our home and picked up our trade in. Even though Birch Run is over an hour away, the truck was full of gas and washed. Maybe he stropped on the way to our house to do both? If you are looking for a salesperson that goes way beyond your expectations...Ryan is your guy!!
