My experience with the team at Cella Ford was excellent!
My experience with the team at Cella Ford was excellent! Every employee that I met was so nice and professional. Not once did I feel like I was getting a sales pitch, my questions were answered, and my requests regarding the car’s service history were all met. Louis was so polite and helpful. I am recommending Cella Ford to all of my friends who are in the market for a new ride. Great group of folks and very professional from start to finish.
