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.

Customer reps do a great job of maintaining awareness of whole service process. They kept waiting customers apprised of timing, etc. Customer reps are cordial and professional
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.

I had a great experience working with Shanta McCool and Bob Maxey Lincoln. We recently purchased a 2022 Ford Transit from the dealership, and even though I live in Pennsylvania, they made the buying process a smooth one. Shanta was friendly and responsive, and I am very pleased with the purchase. I have purchased lots of vehicles over the years, and I would definitely recommend Bob Maxey to others. Shanta even followed up after the sale to make sure I was enjoying the vehicle.

Mike Gentry is always a joy to work with. He knows what i want and always goes out of his way to help me acquire just that. The showroom was clean and open but yet, still private. The best experience was being received amongst an abundance of flowers and plants.

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!
