Bad Deal I traded in my explorer and was told that it was the best deal they could give me. Randy Mason worked well with me, but he had to go to his boss, and I traded in my explorer and was told that it was the best deal they could give me. Randy Mason worked well with me, but he had to go to his boss, and she said that is the best they could do. I took there word and traded my explorer in. Only to find out that they are asking almost twice what they gave me on trade for my explorer. i don't mind them making a little profit on each vehicle, but now i feel like i was xxxxx on the deal. It will make me think long and hard before i deal with Ahl's again. They don't seem to have a problem taking advantage to make a buck. Dean Coolidge More

I found the truck on the inner net so everything was done over the phone. the sale associate that i personal worked with was Bob.S. Bob is a terrific person we worked out a deal on my new truck. The advertise truck had a back up camera & when the truck was delivered the truck didn't come with one. I called Bob & he said that they would make it right & put one in no big deal right.? I live in Michigan 233 miles away they sent the camera to my local dealer who took care of everything & Bob gave me a follow up call just to make sure i was good with everything that had been installed.

In attempting to trade a Tom Ahl purchased 2008 Hyundai Sonata I was insulted with the trade allowance. My wife wanted (needed) a 4-wheel drive and we settled on the Santa Fe. The Sonata hit a deer doing Sonata I was insulted with the trade allowance. My wife wanted (needed) a 4-wheel drive and we settled on the Santa Fe. The Sonata hit a deer doing damage that I had repaired and excellently finished. The Sonata was in absolute beautiful condition, low mileage and properly serviced. Service records were available plus service data available at the Ahl Service Department. The Sonata had a book value of over $10,000 The first appraisal the "grumnpy looking" sales manager put on the car was $6000. When I balked, in minutes, the salesman, Ted Kill, brought back his sales manager's "new" trade allowance of $7000. Wow!!! That quick a $1000 bump. I got a little heated (being Irish) but the sales Manager did not leave his office, nor did he acknowledged us. When trying to "steal" our, or any trade-in, more ability subtlety and salesmanship would be needed.. Having a little knowledgxe of the business I can spot that the "head wags the tail" so I hope this "knocks your socks off." Per haps some advertising money could be spent on training. I have this request remove my wife, Dr. Marjorie Walker, and me, Mr. John (Jack) Walker from your mailing list. We bought a 2013 (New) Ford Escape. We received excellent service, salesmanship, and the sales manager demonstrated a sincere, caring approach. And, we were given the proper trade allowance. I will be trading my "low mileage" Dodge Ram truck shortly, but guaranteed, Tom Ahl will not get the sale. More
As a recent college graduate, this was my first car buying exerpience and I couldn't be any happier. Matt Steiner was extremely helpful on the phone answering all my questions before I drove from Dayto buying exerpience and I couldn't be any happier. Matt Steiner was extremely helpful on the phone answering all my questions before I drove from Dayton to Lima to look at the car. Once there, they had the car waiting and ready to go. I was very impressed with how welcoming Matt made me feel as well as everyone in the dealership on that chilly December night, including the owner Tom. Tom's daughter Mindi walked me through the paperwork and did a very thorough job explains what everything meant as well as listing and explaining all my financing options. Between the amazing price and the quality of service, from my first inquiry about the car to signing the paperwork, i couldn't be happier with my decision to buy from The Tom Ahl Family of Dealerships. I could not find this level of service here in Dayton and am a customer for life. More
I wanted to take a minute to write to you to praise one of your associates, Amy Rosengarten. Yesterday,( 1-9-14) on a trip from Columbus to Chicago, the alternator in my Denali went out leaving me not only of your associates, Amy Rosengarten. Yesterday,( 1-9-14) on a trip from Columbus to Chicago, the alternator in my Denali went out leaving me not only stranded but with a trip to Chicago that needed to happen that day. I called ahead, Amy helped me to find a tow service and found out that the alternator was, not in stock. I figured that no way at 1:00 PM, was I going to get fixed up that day. When I finally got to your dealership And I walked the door and said “ I have an alternator problem” Amy said “Denali?” and told me she thought I would be in soon and had reserved a spot for me and that she would get me in pronto. She did, and while I was surfing for hotels in Lima she came in and gave me the price and told me the alternator was on the way, and I would be good to go shortly! Not only did she do an outstanding job, but I was also impressed with the overall demeanor of all your people!. Very friendly and accommodating. I own several companies and own many GM cars and trucks, my loyalty to GM is amply paid back with service like you and Amy provide! This morning, my staff, when they found out I didn’t have to overnight in Lima, said I was lucky. Luck had nothing to do with it, Amy Rosengarten did. More
I had a great experience working with Bill Hoffman in selecting my car! He made sure I knew how each car worked and how the different styles compared in performance vs luxury. He was able to answer any selecting my car! He made sure I knew how each car worked and how the different styles compared in performance vs luxury. He was able to answer any and all questions I had and since this was my first experience with purchasing a vehicle on my own, I had many! Mindi Ahl was great to work with as well. She did most of the paperwork portion of the deal and really knew her stuff! I felt good with my purchase when she was able to explain all the ins and outs. All-in-all they were both very patient and I was very satisfied and got a great deal on a great car!!! More
