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.

I went out car shopping today, didn’t expect to buy anything but then I ran into the best salesman, Rashan was so much help I recommend him to everyone 😁
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.

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.

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.

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!

I had a Bronco I wanted to trade in after deciding to
I had a Bronco I wanted to trade in after deciding to downsize so I sent in an inquiry to Wayne Ford using cars.com. I was a bit skeptical since I’ve never used the app, but their team reached out rather quickly and gave me a ball park for my trade-in through text. I took the drive over from Philly and met the representative, Eric, who reached out to me. I took my new vehicle for a test drive, sat down to discuss my trade in and he did everything in his power to help me get the price I wanted for my trade. I had two other dealerships in the area who were calling me for my trade-in but Eric did a great job hearing me out and pushing to maximize the trade in value of my vehicle while coming down on the price of my new car. After some back and forth, he got me in the ballpark of where I wanted to be and beat out the other two offers I had. It’s nice to be back in a spot where a car salesman wants to compete for your business and doesn’t fall back on the high chance that someone will come in and pay an absurd amount over MSRP. The financial representative, Jordy, was a great help as well. He wasn’t pushing or pressuring me to purchase a bunch of extra warranties I wasn’t interested in, he simply walked me through the options I had with Wayne Ford, what each covered and the costs associated with each one. I would highly recommend purchasing a vehicle here. Ask for Eric Federico and I am sure he and the team at Wayne Ford will take care of you!!

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
