Very Nice and friendly people. I was in and out in no time for an oil change and tire rotation. The staff is very accommodating.
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.

Bought a 2025 Ford Maverick from out of state and my
Bought a 2025 Ford Maverick from out of state and my experience with the whole team (including even the telephone receptionist) were just exceptionally nice and knowledgeable people to deal with . Nick Genovezos in sales was very well versed in the different options/trims available in the 2025 Maverick which was important since I was looking for the Maverick in a very specific color with very specific options. Also Freehold Ford gave me a very good trade-in price for my existing vehicle and also made the whole process re an out-of-state purchase very, very easy. I also want to mention that once I had decided to buy the truck from them, the finance people (Shane and Dennis) were also terrific to deal with. I have great credit and could have got a very low rate from USAA but they essentially managed to meet that same finance rate, and just as important, they were very good at explaining but not being "pushy" (which I hate) in trying to get me to buy other products (extended warranty,etc) which I did not need or want for this vehicle. I liked the experience so much, that when my son was looking for a White Ford Bronco Sporta few weeks later, I reached out to Nick but they didn't have any in White Bronco Sports in stock but within a few hours he called me back to say he might be able to get a White one with the options my son wanted from another dealer but that potential deal fell thru when the other dealer nixed the exchange at the last minute but that was certainly no fault of Freehold Ford/Nick. I was truly impressed with how quick and hard Nick worked to locate a vehicle for me that they didn't even have in stock. Overall, I just had a fantastic buying experience with them and I would certainly recommend them to anyone looking to buy a Ford car or truck.
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.

Out of State Buyer
The vehicle was just as described. Well kept and maintained used vehicle. No problems or issues at all. Staff was helpful and friendly. The selection of vehicles are impressive. Check them out and make sure you come in person. The photos of some vehicles do not do it justice. Way better in person. I was satisfied with my purchase.
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.

Super F350
I purchased my 5th (Diesel) SuperDuty Ford recently. This latest truck was provided Haldeman Ford and the process was better than any of my past experiences. The Sales Rep (Howard) was patient, professional and knowledgeable. The dealer pricing was fair and the service was outstanding. I've also bought two other vehicles from them and they have also been a SUPER experience.

I had to trade in a Brand New Bronco 2025 with under 1000
I had to trade in a Brand New Bronco 2025 with under 1000 miles because it wasn?t the car of my dreams. I waited four years to buy my car outright. I listened to the advice of others and decided on a different color, and model. When it arrived as I did order it from a different dealer it wasn?t the car I had dreamed of. Yes, I am a woman so there was drama. Anyway I found it out of state and drove to Sea Breeze in New Jersey. You must always go with what you like not with the advice of others. They had the car clean and ready. It was the exact car that I wanted. They traded the one that I had, and my ride home was in my dream car. Dreams do come true. Thankyou SeaBreeze????
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

I leased a 2024 nautilus from Dana Ford . My sales man was Ahmed Khodir. He was very courteous and professional and he really worked with my wife and I and I am very pleased with him. He spent time to go over everything in the car so my wife and I were familiar with all the new gadgets. If anybody is looking for a car, I highly recommend him. Al Rago
