First time car buyer
The man I spoke to was so helpful and courteous and the showroom was clean and comfortable. My first time buying a car on my own and there was no pressure or steering for me to get something I did not want. Very paitent with my lack of knowledge in all things about car buying.
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.

Very pleasant experience buying my pre-owned Taurus
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.

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.
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.

Our salesperson, Michael, listened to what my husband and I wanted and worked with us to be able to purchase a new car. I'm recently retired and he and Olivia made sure we got the car we wanted and was still within our budget. Free car washes and oil changes are a wonderful bonus and a big money saver.

Megan Dolce goes above and beyond. While I was waiting for my vehicle to be serviced, I noticed that she was also showing a vehicle to a walk in as it was early in the morning, so to not lose a potential client she jumped into sales mode. Kudos to Megan Dolce for being multi-talented which you don’t see much these days!

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 went with my cousin to help them find a car, and we were lucky enough to have Juan as our salesperson. He treated us with so much respect and patience, making sure my cousin felt comfortable every step of the way. I really appreciated how honest and clear he was about the options, and he never tried to pressure us into anything. You can tell Juan genuinely cares about his customers and wants the best for them. My cousin drove away happy and confident with their new car, and I can honestly say Juan made the whole experience a positive one. I’d recommend him to anyone in my family or friends!

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

Not even crazy about Fords but I love this place
I have purchased two new cars from this dealership--a 2008 Ford Focus and a 2013 Ford Focus. I am not a huge Ford fan...more of a Honda person...however, the service I get here is so good and so different from the service that I get at the horrible mega-dealerships nearby that I literally chose a Focus over a Civic so I could purchase a vehicle here. The fact that I get free state inspection for the life of my vehicle is fantastic and convenient, and even though I was purchasing one of the least expensive cars on the lot each time, I was given thorough and courteous service. The sales person helped me with issues that I was having with my trade-in in an honest and straightforward way. Having a smaller, more personal car-buying experience right in my hometown is so unusual these days, and the amount of stress and headaches I avoided by shopping here was certainly welcome.

My experience with purchasing a car at Nielsen Ford in
My experience with purchasing a car at Nielsen Ford in Morristown was excellent! After seeing an advertisement on Facebook for a 2024 Ford Edge Titanium SUV, I stopped by the dealership and Orhun Varol was the salesman who helped me. From the Test Drive to the negotiating selling my current car to Nielsen Ford, Mr. Varol kept things going smoothly. He took the time to answer all my questions. I drove out of the dealership a few hours later in my new car, thanks to my excellent salesman Ohrun Varol. A+++
