Mikey is very responsive and professional. No nonsense on the deal..we're driving 5 hours to buy from him with no regret. After trying to deal with several slippery "salespeople" it was a real relief to find a good deal and buy from a decent person. Win win.

I recently had my 2015 car serviced at Heights Ford and couldn’t be happier with the experience. They repaired my air conditioner (clutch) and replaced the rear brakes, and the work was excellent. The technician kept me updated throughout the process and even coordinated directly with my Ford warranty company, which made things so much easier. What stood out most was their patience, attention to detail, and commitment to making sure my car was properly covered and serviced the right way. I highly recommend Heights Ford for anyone looking for trustworthy, thorough, and professional service. Thank you!

Fair Oaks was the only LIncoln dealer that had (in transit) the exact 2025 Lincoln Aviator model and color scheme we were looking for. We were able to connect with them online and make a good deal on the purchase without having to make the extensive drive to the dealership. Krystal (internet sales manager) was great to work with. She handed us off to Eddie to complete the paperwork. All documents were completed online in the comfort of our home, and Eddie delivered the vehicle to us at home the day it arrived. Eddie continued to follow up after the sale to make sure we were satisfied and answer any questions we had about the vehicle. I can highly recommend this dealership.
