Amazing Sales and Service
Our family has purchased eight cars through Bommarito. Every experience has been smooth and pleasant. Chick Lawless at Bommarito Ford is one of the most knowledgeable and personable salesmen that we have ever encountered. We will continue to patronize Bommarito for all of our automotive needs.

Luke Ramos was an excellent salesman.
Luke Ramos was an excellent salesman. He stayed after hours to ensure I would get into the vehicle I chose. They also found the right lender for me to ensure I was financed and left same day with the vehicle. The entire team went above and beyond in valuing my trade, selling the vehicle, and ensuring my happiness. I cannot say enough good things about this dealership!

I would highly encourage folks in the Metro area to visit
I would highly encourage folks in the Metro area to visit Schmidt Ford in Collinsville. They are a wonderful staff to deal with and there is no pressure from the sales staff. I would ask to speak with Nick Karateew or K. Todd, great folks to work with. I purchased a 2023 Ford Maverick XLT and they made the transaction extremely easy. Glen Sprankle

The paperwork took some time but now I see why.
The paperwork took some time but now I see why. We are very happy with the car but a few issues came up....brake fluid was low causing the brake pedal too pulse. A quart too much engine oil. Windshield fluid was empty.

Very pleased with the handling of the sale.
Very pleased with the handling of the sale. Almost no wait time. I did notice on the envelope for the paperwork, that the address of the DMV is incorrect. It, the DMV, is on Zumbhel now not on Raymond.

I bought a 2025 Ford Ranger Lariat.
I bought a 2025 Ford Ranger Lariat. All the all, the process was very easy and quick. Denesha was wonderful to work with and a great salesperson. I recommend contacting her for your next purchase. We arrived in the early evening (around 6:00) to purchase the truck she and David, the finance manager, stayed late to get the paperwork done and get us home with it. They are great people and made us feel very welcome.
