New Vehicle Purchase I used to hear bad things about Currie Ford - They were very pushy salespeople - very unpleasant to deal with. They had a vehicle that my wife and I w I used to hear bad things about Currie Ford - They were very pushy salespeople - very unpleasant to deal with. They had a vehicle that my wife and I wanted to see and drive. We knew what Escape we wanted to test and the accessories we wanted. They only close dealer that had what we wanted was Currie, but the color was wrong. When we arrived at the dealership Mike Ramadan met us. We told him the car we wanted to see. Unfortunately that car couldn't be found, but he found another that was very close. It had the engine and drivetrain we wanted, but not the accessories. We were able to drive it just to see how powerful it was and how the ride was. He had another vehicle that had the interior color and accessories we wanted, but not the drivetrain. He brought that up so we could see exactly what the interior color was like and how the accessories were. Then Mike searched the computer and found 7 cars that matched our color preference, drivetrain, and accessories we wanted (and then some!). He then took us to his back lot to show us all the various colors there were so we could see exactly what the vehicle color would look like. While there we found the car we originally came in to test drive! It had everything we wanted except the exterior color wasn't what we had in mind. Mike prepared to get us a price on one of the cars he located to see if it was a good enough deal to even have it brought in. While searching the incentives he learned there was an additional $1500.00 rebate that was expiring that day. If we bought the car in stock, even though it wasn't quite the right color, we could get an additional $1500.00! We did walk away from it and looked at the price of the car he'd have to bring in. We went home, and my wife and I thought about it. (The color really wasn't worth losing the $1500.00!) Then we looked online to research what we felt would be a fair price for in stock Escape. We called Mike back and asked what he'd sell the in-stock car for. The price was a little higher than we wanted. Told him what we wanted to pay, and he said he'd call us back. Mike had to talk to Ali Rafati, the sales manager. It didn't take too long, and they called back and we were able to make the deal! When my wife and I went back to the dealership that night to finalize things, both Mike and Ali were fantastic! There was no "oops - we forgot this charge" or anything like that! What we agreed upon on the phone was what we paid! It was about a half hour before they closed and there was all the paperwork to do. The car was being prepped for us. Mike took the time to go over many of the features of the car - pairing the phone to the Bluetooth, explaining the navigation system, etc. We were not in the mood at this time to get too involved in the demonstration. Mike set an appointment for us to come in 2 days later when we could go over everything. He was, though, more than willing to stay as late as needed if we wanted him to! Dominick was the finance man who got all the paperwork together. He went over extended warranties, paint and body protection plans, and all the other add-ons possible. He did this in such a way as to explain the programs, not push them on us. What add-ons we did purchase was truly because we wanted them, partially because the way they were explained to us. All bad, early expectations I had going into the dealership were DEAD WRONG!!! This place was great! We were not pressured in any way! While we kept the salesman, Sales Manager, Finance man, and porters there almost an hour and a half after closing, they did not rush us! We are very satisfied with Currie Ford and gladly recommend them to anyone taking the time to read this!!!! More

Dan was awesome in the assistance of purchasing my dream car My salesman was Dan Chomzempra. He was great! He was nice from the get-go to me and my mother and always continuously asked us did we need anything (w My salesman was Dan Chomzempra. He was great! He was nice from the get-go to me and my mother and always continuously asked us did we need anything (water, popcorn, soda, etc) He is extremely patient and personable. This was my first dealership car purchase and he made it quick, as easy as he could and painless! When I asked him to leave me a second key, he mentioned he was off that following day but would make sure it was there waiting on me and it was! He followed up twice and was very polite and brief in the conversations. Anybody I recommend to Currie Ford, I would tell them to ask for Dan! More

My purchase of a Ford F350 + interactions with Currie Motors I was in the market to add another truck to my collection. After hours of endless searching I came across an F350 diesel truck. I knew a truck like I was in the market to add another truck to my collection. After hours of endless searching I came across an F350 diesel truck. I knew a truck like this wouldn't last. So I called to inquire about it, I was connected with Zana Belmer who was very friendly and set an appointment for me to look at the truck the following Monday. Upon arriving at the dealership I was immediately greeted by Alex Brixie. If you like to go look at a car with out being pressured or pushy sales tactics, he would be the man to see. He immediately got me the keys while I inspected the exterior of the truck. I then asked him to get me any history he had on the vehicle and he promptly did so. We took it for a test drive and everything checked out with the truck. I asked him to get the paper work going for the truck. While I waited he was very hospitable as well as fulfilled any requests I had. Once the paper work was done I worked with Ken Gohmann, he asked what I would like for an interest rate, payment term, and all that good stuff, with out any hassle he did so perfectly. Very knowledgeable and friendly down to earth guy, he really went above and beyond for my financing needs. Everybody knows paper work takes time and these guys really make sure they don't keep you waiting and make it a priority, even while your waiting the friendly staff such as managers Mark Kischkel, Ali Rafati, and Joe Easterhouse would help the time pass by through casual conversation and really get to know you as a customer. Everything went smooth and I was in and out in no time driving home an awesome new truck. About a month after I had come in to get the door code panel coded and Robert Emlund took care of me. I hardly got my foot in the door and was greeted with a hand shake and a friendly introduction. I thought I was gonna be there for awhile but he got the truck in with a tech and done in no time. Couldn't ask for nicer service. I strongly recommend going to see these guys, I drove 2 and a half hours just to buy from them which is well worth it for the service! More

We were checking all Ford dealerships in the area for a car for our daughter. We had been to several just looking and stopped by Currie Motors to look at their Mustang inventory. They had more of a varie car for our daughter. We had been to several just looking and stopped by Currie Motors to look at their Mustang inventory. They had more of a variety than some of the other dealerships. Mo H came out and talked to us about the models they had and asked what we were looking for - no pressure. We wanted to do a Test drive and he was very accomodating and friendly. After the test drive he checked inventory for models that had the options that interested us. He and Ali explained the incentives available and worked hard to locate just the right vehicle. Then they gave us a great price and were so willing to make us loyal Ford customers we decided to make the purchase. This was one of the most stress free car purchases we have ever made! We will spread the word about them and the dealership! More

Our salesman Dan Chorzempa was so easy to work with. We visited other dealerships but felt at ease with Dan. He was so patient and likable. We test drove a 2014 Mustang ( deep down we knew it wasn't for visited other dealerships but felt at ease with Dan. He was so patient and likable. We test drove a 2014 Mustang ( deep down we knew it wasn't for us...Dan knew too! ) but he went along with us and had a good laugh. Car salesman can be pompous and sometimes arrogant but we saw none of that at Currrie Ford. We asked Dan to show us a Black Ford Fusion and we were almost sold...then we met Ali Rafati. and we said," gas it up." He sealed the deal with NO pressure. A great deal!! I'm telling everybody what a great experience it was to buy a car from these guys. Dan is probably the youngest salesman there but he has the right stuff and don't forget to meet Ali. He's got a great smile and personality to match. More
