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.

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

Dan Happ took me for test drives of both, providing me with helpful information of their individual distinctions. They were impressive, and I was pleased that they had CD players as it is a feature less available on new cars, unfortunately. Not feeling certain about either being the right choice for me, I thanked him for his time. In September a hatchback which caught my eye on their website and I still had Dan Happ’s business card so I sent him an e-mail, hoping to return and see him at Van Bortel Ford. He replied and I went in the next day. It is such an inviting atmosphere with staff who are smiling and even will bring beverages from the coffee bar to customers! I was really hopeful about the possibility of this becoming a purchase opportunity for me. Dan greeted me and gave me the key to take the hatchback out. I returned and promptly said with enthusiasm that it’s the right car for me so he wrote up a purchase agreement, with no deposit because they don’t take one. To pick up my new vehicle, Dan’s follow through even included: A ride to the dealership Explanation of all of paperwork Putting the new plates on himself Review of auto interior, which made me feel confident as new owner. 🚙 Dan Happ is pleasant, personable & professional, knowledable and helpful. I recommend him, and Van Bortel Ford in Fairport. More
