Quick and East to get my car in for the recall issue. The time it took was a lot less than what they thought it would be, plus they washed my car. Nice Job!!!

I had the pleasure of working with Tray at Murgado Ford
I had the pleasure of working with Tray at Murgado Ford of Chicago while looking for a 2024 Lincoln Nautilus Reserve AWD for my wife. From the moment I reached out by phone to inquire about the vehicle Stock: 24L117, Tray was incredibly personable and transparent. He took the time to provide me with all the information I needed, making me feel at ease about the purchase. With a growing family, including one child and another expected in May, it's important to make the right choice, and Tray made the entire process smooth and stress-free. His professionalism and genuine care for my needs were evident, and I truly appreciate his efforts in helping us find the perfect vehicle. I highly recommend Tray and Murgado Ford for anyone in the market for a new car!

I did not simply buy a Ford Raptor from Golf Mill Ford.
I did not simply buy a Ford Raptor from Golf Mill Ford. I embarked on a quest. I walked into the dealership a mere mortal. I walked out… a Raptor owner. A changed person. A legend in the making. Jimmy, the sales rep, wasn’t just helpful — he was like a guide sent by the Truck Gods themselves. He knew every roar, every horsepower, every hidden feature of the Raptor like some kind of mystical sage. He didn’t sell me a truck… he unleashed destiny. Then appeared General Sales Manager Nick — the commanding presence who sealed the deal with the authority of a man who has seen countless heroes rise behind the wheel of a Ford. Smooth. Efficient. A dealership general who ensures victory for all who walk through those doors. The Raptor fob hit my hand and I swear I heard a faint choir of angels. The paperwork? A blur. The test drive? A life-altering event....Seriously. I didn’t just drive off the lot — I launched into a new chapter of my life. If you’re thinking about getting a Ford, do yourself a favor: Go to Golf Mill Ford. Seek out Jimmy and Nick. They won’t just sell you a vehicle… They’ll rewrite your story.

I bought a used Buick Encore.
I bought a used Buick Encore. The car is running great and is in great condition. The whole process was smooth. Everyone was friendly and professional. All my questions were answered. The car I wanted to test drive was ready for me when I got there. Simeon Talevski was my sales agent. The General Manager was also very professional, friendly, and made sure I understood everything. I am glad I bought my car there.

I recently purchased a Bronco Sport from Nick at Roesch
I recently purchased a Bronco Sport from Nick at Roesch Ford. He is very professional and knowledgeable about the vehicle, trim packages and options available, as well as electronic features of the car. Nick and Dave were able to meet my budget on the model I wanted, and offered a fair price on my trade in. Overall a great, no pressure dealership, and the smoothest car purchase process I've had.
