Bryce Do was very helpful, and patient with me during our 7 month interaction between me starting to think about replacing my old truck, and finally, last minute, like phone call, "I'm on the way!" at 5 pm on a holiday. He showed me the vehicles I was considering and showed me how the features worked. The only detraction from my experience was in the finance department where they didn't honor the price on the website, and I paid more than I expected to when going in.

Excellent service at Koons Ford Sterling in Virginia to
Excellent service at Koons Ford Sterling in Virginia to diagnose and repair a malfunctioning Automatic window mechanism. Techicians repaired the window, but took time to double check to make sure everything was fixed, and discovered a further problem that required a more extensive repair that solved the problem. Customer service representative Andrew expertly and courtesly handled the transaction both from in-take of my Explorer to the final resolution. Final bill for all services even came in slightly under the initial estimate. Excellent experience and I will continue to rely on Koons Sterling.

I recently purchased a 2025 Ranger Raptor from Ourisman
I recently purchased a 2025 Ranger Raptor from Ourisman Ford in Manassas, and I can’t say enough great things about my experience with Nirbhay! From start to finish, he was absolutely phenomenal—professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely focused on making sure I got exactly what I wanted. Nirbhay made the entire buying process smooth and stress-free. He kept me informed at every step, answered all of my questions with patience and clarity, and went above and beyond to ensure I was getting the best possible deal. His transparency and honesty were a breath of fresh air, and I never once felt pressured. The Ranger Raptor is an incredible truck, and Nirbhay made the experience of getting behind the wheel of it even more exciting. His follow-through and attention to detail were top-notch, and even after the sale, he checked in to make sure everything was perfect. If you’re considering a new Ford—especially something as awesome as the 2025 Ranger Raptor—do yourself a favor and ask for Nirbhay. He’s one of the best sales professionals I’ve ever worked with. Thank you, Nirbhay!

I was referred to Mike Zeller from a previous customer of his and he did not disappoint! His friendly nature, his laid back approach and his sense of humor made the whole experience 100% worth it. I wasn’t planning on buying same day, but Mike made it so easy that it was silly to not just proceed. Pricing, explanation of process and demonstration of car and its features was so relaxing and great. Why can’t all dealers be like this! Sheehy Ford of Gaithersburg is very very lucky to have him. And now, I have a trusted friend in the car business. Thanks Mike Zeller and thank you Sheehy!
