McDonald Ford review
GREAT EXPERIENCE
our salesman, Steve T. treated us great. We stopped to look at a vehicle that was online. We briefly looked at that vehicle and didn't want it. After telling Steve exactly what we wanted, he searched the entire inventory and found a truck that had just come in in trade. We also talked to Joe and Dave during our purchase process. All 3 of these gentlemen were extremely helpful and great to do business with. I would highly recommend this dealership

Richardson Ford Inc. review
I recently purchased a vehicle from Richardson Ford, and
I recently purchased a vehicle from Richardson Ford, and I can’t say enough good things about the experience. From start to finish, the team went above and beyond to take care of me. They didn’t just try to sell me a car—they worked hard to put together an amazing deal that truly fit my budget and needs. The staff was professional, friendly, and really listened to what I was looking for. They were upfront, transparent, and made the whole process smooth and stress-free. I never felt pressured or rushed, and they made sure I left the dealership completely satisfied.
