I needed a Ford dealership to take care of a couple of
I needed a Ford dealership to take care of a couple of recall notices on a 2023 Bronco I purchased used from a non Ford dealership a year ago. I had received a brochure from Hawk Ford in St.Charles, Illinois, and decided to give them a try. To make a long story short, customer service arranged for a pickup of my vehicle at my home the very next day as well as a more than reasonable time frame for the repair, and then delivered my vehicle back to my home about a half hour ahead of the originally scheduled time frame. Because of the fact that I needed recall repair work, there was no charge for either the pickup and delivery, or the actual repairs.The courtesy and customer service extended to me actually left.me speechless. All I have left to say is, I now have a Ford dealership I can rely on. Thanks again Hawk Ford.

I definitely recommend Hopkins Ford!!
I bought a new 2023 F-150 XLT from Hopkins Ford today. Jaden was my salesman, and he knew every question I had right away. He was extremely helpful, and was an awesome salesman. I’m very happy to do business with him, and Hopkins Ford. We couldn’t find a price that was going to work for me, but we kept talking for 5 more days, and they kept working harder and harder to get the truck to me at the price I needed it. They were finally able to make it work, and I’m very grateful that they worked so hard for me. I will absolutely be buying more cars from them in the future. I would 100% recommend this dealer, and Jaden as your salesman. Thanks Jaden!

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.
