This Explorer replaces a 2017 I loved.
This Explorer replaces a 2017 I loved. That car is still in the family. The Platinum Edition is fabulous, lots of bells and whistles. I choose to turn off the lane management system. It is somewhat aggravating. The automatic on off at stoplights can be irritating when you have a lot of stoplights. I will turn this feature off when I’m in traffic at a lot of lights. Otherwise, I keep it on. There is a great deal of new technology on the vehicle which is located on the center screen. It was not hard to learn, and although I’ve had this vehicle for a month I’m still learning a few things. This vehicle is a six seater with heated and ventilated seats. The back windows have screens, which is great when your transporting little children and anyone else the seats also have an automatic fold. This car will move quickly great pick up and even with a new car around town, I’m getting 20 1/half miles per gallon on regular gas. Although being a six seater, it is not too big. I had looked at a jeep which ran a good $13,000 more for the same features. The new body style on the Jeep was not appealing to a family member so we stuck with the Ford.

Buying a car at Golf Mill Ford in Niles is always a pleasure and a breeze. Working with Darwin at Golf Mill Ford is like visiting a sibling, always feeling welcomed and leaving home with something great! This making the 8th purchase Darwin truly knows exactly what we like.

This is my third Explorer…and this time I chose the Platinum edition. The exterior is about the same but with some very tasteful updates to the rear taillights and front grill. The interior is dramatically improved with a variety of materials used throughout. The larger touchscreen is easy to use. This is the first Android based platform and it is easy to use and worked seamlessly with Apple CarPlay. The Blue Cruise auto-driving feature is very impressive- and once you get over the hesitation of letting the car steer itself is very useful especially on long interstate trips. All in all this is the best Explorer I’ve had.

I am 70 years old and have bought or leased over 25 cars.
I am 70 years old and have bought or leased over 25 cars. This dealership is the best in appearance and customer service. The sales manager, Mo, made it go without the slightest hiccup. He processed the financing of my new car as if I had a credit score of over 775. When I raised a concern about the service contract, he took the time to offer a solution that took away any concerns I had. My salesman Jesus, was patient and took the time to find a vehicle that was just traded in that would be perfect for me. It was, and I did purchase it.

Chris Perez and the lady with finance at Webb ford in
Chris Perez and the lady with finance at Webb ford in highland were amazing. They were very kind and helpful. I was nervous to trade my vehicle in because I have gotten it the day my nephew passed and it was very sentimental to me. But, these two kind souls made the process a bit easier. I definitely will be going here anytime I am ready for a new vehicle.

From start to finish, my experience purchasing a vehicle
From start to finish, my experience purchasing a vehicle here was nothing short of excellent. Eric, my sales rep, was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly patient?he made sure I found the perfect vehicle without ever feeling pressured. He took the time to answer every question and walk me through the features until I was completely confident in my decision. Derrick, the finance manager, was equally impressive. He made the financing process smooth and transparent, clearly explaining all options and working hard to find the best deal possible. No surprises, no gimmicks?just honest and efficient service. And a special shoutout to Jason, the GM, who went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. You can tell he genuinely cares about the customer experience and runs a top-tier operation. This team truly made car buying enjoyable. I couldn?t be happier with my purchase, and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, professional, and friendly dealership.

Quick service, Trying Their Mobile Unit Next Time
The service department has always been quick, especially when I use their Quick Lane service. They told me recently too that they now have a mobile unit that goes to your house or work and they can also pick up your vehicle, so I might try that next time so I don't have to take time off of work to get it fixed.
