Immediate response.
Immediate response. Made an appointment to see the vehicle. Unfortunately, it sold before I arrived. However, the salesman did not make me drive over an hour to get there to find out it was gone. He called and texted to save me the trip. Really appreciate his respect of my time.

Outstanding Experience with Amir at Helfman Ford!
Outstanding Experience with Amir at Helfman Ford! I recently purchased a 2024 Ford Expedition Max from Helfman Ford, and I have to give a huge shoutout to Amir for making the entire process seamless and enjoyable. From the moment I walked in, Amir was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping me find the right vehicle. He took the time to answer every question with clarity, and never once made me feel rushed or pressured. His attention to detail and commitment to customer satisfaction were truly impressive. What really stood out was Amir’s ability to make the experience feel personal. He listened to what I needed, offered thoughtful recommendations, and made sure I was comfortable every step of the way. The Expedition Max is an incredible vehicle, and Amir made sure I drove off the lot feeling confident and excited. If you're in the market for a new Ford, I highly recommend asking for Amir at Helfman Ford. You won’t just get a great car—you’ll get top-tier service from someone who genuinely cares.
