I grew up in Philadelphia, PA, went to college in Grand Rapids, MI and then moved to Rochester, NY to be closer to family. My wife and I love to travel and find ourselves spending most of our vacation time with family or at weddings. Selling cars has been a hobby of mine for a long time and now I do it for a living. Kitty Van Bortel makes it easy to sell cars and even easier to buy them.

Sales and Service are Top Notch Everyone at Van Bortel Ford has treated myself, and my husband with the upmost respect.

I had scheduled my 2014 Focus for it’s 90,000, checkup, with a few minor concerns to be checked. Because my concerns were founded - clutch - service time would be must longer. I was given a car to drive due to this. As for sales, Dan Happ. new I would be in for service and gave me a call to see if I would like to look at some newer cars, with less mileage than my 90,000. I told him I would think about it and discuss it with my husband- Dan did not pressure me, he kindly let me know that he would be there while my car was being serviced. I truly respect the way everyone at Van Bortel cares and serves! Thank you, Deb Housel More

Best car buying experience ever!! Car dealerships and car salesman get a bad rap sometimes for being pushy and slimy. Van Bortel Ford is the complete opposite of that. I felt comfortab Car dealerships and car salesman get a bad rap sometimes for being pushy and slimy. Van Bortel Ford is the complete opposite of that. I felt comfortable in that environment and did not feel pressured and scared to buy a car from them. And that was mostly because of the super salesman I bought from named Dan Happ. He was incredibly nice and caring throughout the whole buying process and did not pressure me at all. He went above and beyond with helping me buy this car, more then I would have ever thought a salesman would do. I really felt cared for at Van Bortel Ford! I can not recommend them enough! If you’re looking for a car, go see Dan Happ! More

Becoming a mother of 2 in a few months, I'll be able to adjust easier with how much space there is in the backseat, for both my six year old and the baby's carrier. The trunk will be able to hold the stroller, groceries and anything else I need to put back there. And the Android Auto is awesome. I've already utilized Spotify to listen to my favorites on the way to work. More
