This dealership is above the rest.
This dealership is above the rest. It was recommended by a friend of mine and I was not disappointed. In fact, it has changed my opinion about domestic car dealerships. From the scheduling of an appointment to the actual service technician, the experienced has been an absolute pleasure. I am sure that whomever is hiring for this dealership is selecting the best people. One thing is to have the technical qualifications to do the job but the most important factor in hiring people that will be interacting with the general public is people skills. Every time I call to schedule an appointment Molly has the nicest attitude over the phone. The same thing goes to the Mobile Service Technician Isaias Sanchez. An absolute pleasure to interact with him. Courteous, service oriented, and willing to offer explanation of the work being done. Like I said earlier, not everyone has the people skills to deal with the general public. These people are the best! You won't be disappointed to get service from Hawk Ford of St. Charles. I live about 30 miles from the dealership and have other Ford dealers closer my house but I pick Hawk Ford for service over those dealerships just because of the people there.

We’re absolutely thrilled with our experience leasing a 2025 Mustang Mach-E from Golf Mill Ford! A special thank you to Jakub and Damian for going above and beyond, especially for communicating clearly with my Polish-speaking parents. Their patience and professionalism made a big difference for our family. Everyone we worked with was respectful, honest, and well-prepared. The communication was smooth and transparent the entire time, unlike other dealerships we visited, there were no surprises when it came to pricing. We visited twice before finalizing the lease and both times we felt completely comfortable and welcomed. It truly felt like they cared about helping us make the right decision, not just making a sale. Overall, this was a very pleasant experience and our whole family is extremely with the new car. Thank you again, Golf Mill Ford!
