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.

When I asked about a particular automobile online, Joseph
When I asked about a particular automobile online, Joseph responded almost instantly. His quick response time and willingness to answer all of my inquiries set the tone for a positive purchasing experience. The next day, I returned to the dealership, where Joseph had the car ready for me to test drive. His attentiveness made the entire process go smoothly, and I'm quite pleased with the automobile I ended up acquiring.
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.

Serra Mazda in Brighton was the best shopping experience
Serra Mazda in Brighton was the best shopping experience I have had with a dealership. Justice was a great salesperson. Having been in and around the retail automotive industry for over 30 years it was refreshing to see a young energetic honest salesperson do what he said he was going to do. The management was very friendly and efficient. Great place to buy a Mazda.

Carl in parts @ Gene Butman
Best parts department ever! I get all my parts from there. Everybody's super nice answers every question I have. Super employee of the year is "Carl" I wanted an oil change before I went on a trip and I always come to your dealership to get it but I couldn't get an appointment as fast as I wanted. Went to two oil shops and they said I need it full synthetic oil. So I called the man that knows all Carl and he told me that I needed a synthetic blend for my F-150. I got my oil and filter from him also battery wiper blades even changed the batteries in my key fobs. He then said his wife is getting a new F150 truck. Now I'm thinking I want a new truck just got a convince my wife! I have 2016 f150 with 80,000 miles on it. I'll probably call Carl to see how can I convince my wife! Lol! Put salesman on his job title too! Thanks to ALL in Parts department! Rod

I recently had the pleasure of working with Alex Rose at North Brothers Ford, and I can confidently say that my experience was exceptional. From the moment I walked into the dealership, Alex greeted me with a warm smile and a genuine willingness to help. Alex demonstrated an impressive depth of knowledge about the vehicles on the lot. He took the time to understand my needs and preferences, guiding me through the various options without any pressure. His expertise made the car-buying process not only easy but also enjoyable. What truly stood out was Alex's commitment to customer service. He was patient, answering all my questions thoroughly and ensuring I felt comfortable with every decision. His friendly demeanor made it easy to communicate, and I never felt rushed or overwhelmed. Even after the sale, Alex continued to provide support, following up to ensure that I was satisfied with my new vehicle. This level of care is rare and speaks volumes about his dedication to his customers. In summary, if you're looking for a stress-free car-buying experience, I highly recommend seeking out Alex at North Brothers Ford. His professionalism, knowledge, and outstanding customer service make him a standout in the industry. Thank you, Alex, for making my experience so memorable!

Finding value in a used automobile is difficult, but Moe
Finding value in a used automobile is difficult, but Moe at Car Dome Auto Sales ensured I got the most bang for my buck. After discussing my budget and requirements, Moe showed me cars with the best characteristics for the money. I didn't feel like I had to sacrifice quality to keep inside my budget. The entire process felt honest and fair, and I drove away feeling I had received a wonderful price.
