We’re absolutely thrilled with our experience leasing a
We’re absolutely thrilled with our experience leasing a 2025 Mustang Mach-E from Golf Mill Ford! A special thank you to Jakub and Damian for going above and beyond, especially for communicating clearly with my Polish-speaking parents. Their patience and professionalism made a big difference for our family. Everyone we worked with was respectful, honest, and well-prepared. The communication was smooth and transparent the entire time, unlike other dealerships we visited, there were no surprises when it came to pricing. We visited twice before finalizing the lease and both times we felt completely comfortable and welcomed. It truly felt like they cared about helping us make the right decision, not just making a sale. Overall, this was a very pleasant experience and our whole family is extremely with the new car. Thank you again, Golf Mill Ford!

Sharon was wonderful!
I stopped in for a test drive the other day and was truly pleased with my experience. It was very easy to find and get to, Sharon was extremely nice and helpful, the showroom was beautiful, and I was treated with the utmost respect. Unfortunately I did not buy the vehicle but it had nothing to do with the dealership.

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!

Gone are the days of driving to the dealership to have your oil changed. I love that Webb Ford came to get my vehicle, showed me where they were en route, sent me texts where they were in the process, and returned my vehicle quickly. Absolutely worth it to me in my busy schedule. Awesome place.

Todd K. at Willowbrook Ford was very courteous and patient. He went thru all of the features of my new Escape and made sure my FordPass was correct. This is my 3rd car bought at this dealership and, as always, only positive things to say. Mike in finance was also very personable.
