Omar, (Service writer) went beyond to help me with what my vehicle needed
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.

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.

Great experience, quick to set up, check in and out and everything was quoted with pricing. Time was appropriate for the amount of work done
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.

recently purchased a vehicle from Old Orchard Nissan, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the entire experience. From the moment I walked in, the staff was welcoming, professional, and genuinely helpful — no pressure, just honest service. My salesperson, Jason Chu, was knowledgeable, patient, and took the time to answer all my questions. They helped me find the perfect car for my needs and made the process feel smooth and stress-free. The finance team also did a great job explaining everything clearly and worked to get me a great deal. The vehicle was clean, in excellent condition, and exactly as described. I truly appreciate the transparency, integrity, and care that went into every step of the process. Highly recommend Old Orchard Nissan to anyone looking for a reliable vehicle and top-notch customer service. I’ll definitely be back when it’s time for my next car!
