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.

I’m a first time buyer from Wickstrom and it was a great experience! From the moment I walked in and was greeted by Jon Leicht, I felt comfortable and at ease. Everyone there was very polite and professional. I didn’t feel I was just a number. Jon was very knowledgeable and was able to answer all my questions. Smooth and easy transaction, I love my Nautilus!

My experience pertains specifically to the Ford service
My experience pertains specifically to the Ford service department - not the actual car dealership. So this place is clearly under new management. After getting some ridiculous estimates from other mechanics and body shops, I decided to give this place a try…. I got outstanding service from Pat Gavin. He quickly got me estimates which confirmed my suspicions that the other mechanics were trying to gorge me into paying for a bunch of unnecessary repairs. Pat & team were able to fix several problems that had been lingering on my car for several months. I always postponed getting these things fixed because other mechanics wanted literally $5-10k for what seemed like small issues. I’m ecstatic to have finally found someone in this industry that conducts business with (1) integrity and (2) high standards in delivering quality! It’s such a relief to know where to go to get my car fixed without getting guided into a bunch of high priced and unnecessary work. I also got my car back cleaner than when I dropped it off!! Everything from the service to the price to the quality of the work exceeded my highest expectations. 1 month later my car is running as good as new. If only everything in the auto industry (particularly the service & repair industry) was run this way.

From their vehicle selection to their product knowledge
From their vehicle selection to their product knowledge to their efficient paperwork processes, this buying experience was top-notch. Adam in sales, Tom in finance, and even a John Webb (who checked in to make sure we were happy) all contributed to make ours a smooth and seamless process. Highly recommend.
