We were able to shop for our vehicle from website and visit the dealership on the day we chose to pick it up and turn in our leased vehicle. In and out in an hour. No pushy sales or runaround. Chris, Brandon, Rick and the entire staff did an amazing job to keep us informed throughout the entire process. We truly felt like part of the family.

I went in originally to purchase a pre-owned vehicle for my new business, but ended up buying a new one! I pulled up and was greeted by Sal on the lot. We talked about what I was interested in and what it would be used for. We actually talked about everything! Sal was very personable and easy going, making the process very easy and uncomplicated. There was some back and forth in the buying process, but that's to be expected. Overall an enjoyable experience.

I recently purchased a vehicle just two days before Christmas, and the experience was nothing short of exceptional. Nathan, my sales representative, was extremely knowledgeable, courteous, and attentive throughout the entire process. Despite the busy holiday season, he went above and beyond to ensure everything was handled seamlessly, making what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth and enjoyable. Nathan and the team at County Ford moved mountains to help me drive away in my 2023 Nissan Rogue. I'm extremely satisfied customer!
