Truck Purchase Javier was great to work with, he took extra time making sure I understood everything about the pricing of my trade, the pricing of my new truck and t Javier was great to work with, he took extra time making sure I understood everything about the pricing of my trade, the pricing of my new truck and then after the sale, he took even more time explaining all the features and benefits of my new ride. He sync'ed my phone and explained all the technology. Everyone I worked with at Dahl was very friendly, unassuming and thorough. I would buy again from Dahl and I would recommend others. More

My fiancé and I were in the market for a vehicle that would fit our family. We had some special circumstances in our finances that made the financing part a little complex. I had recently purchase that would fit our family. We had some special circumstances in our finances that made the financing part a little complex. I had recently purchased a new F-150 from Javier and reached out to him to find us a specific vehicle that would fit our needs. Dahl had a 2011 Ford Expedition Limited that hit the lot and Javier was on top of getting a deal done. He gave our information to Terry Nelson who went above and beyond the call of duty to ensure that not only were we approved, but that we received the best interest rate that we could get. We received a phenomenal deal that surpassed our expectations. Terry was an ABSOLUTE pleasure to work with! Javier, Terry and KV made us feel like family and treated us like no other dealership has. We were very concerned with our financing situation that we would be treated differently and not be able to get as good of a deal as we normally would with perfect circumstances. This is not the case. These individuals treated us like there were no issues and made sure that we received the best deal possible. After buying my F-150 2 months ago, when we were in the market for another vehicle, we went straight to Dahl Ford and could not have been more pleased with the outcome. We had a few minor issues with the vehicle and dealing with the service and body shop has been nothing short of easy as well. April has taken care of my fiancé's previous vehicle and was a smooth transition to working with me. I can say that I will be taking both of our vehicles to Dahl for all of my service needs. I will refer anyone I can to Dahl Ford for their spectacular deals and service! Great Job KV on having a awesome and caring staff who makes dealings with Dahl Ford a pleasure!! Mike & Lori Ryden More

I had a 2012 Toyota Highlander that was over the lease Miles and a year away from the lease expiration. I was looking to enter back into the Truck market and was between a 2014 Tundra and a 2014 F-150. Miles and a year away from the lease expiration. I was looking to enter back into the Truck market and was between a 2014 Tundra and a 2014 F-150. Javier went out of his way to find the specific truck that I was looking for and KV Dahl ensured that I received the best deal around, there was no one else that could match the great deal I received! Mike Ohms was quick with the paperwork and was a great guy to work with. Prior to this purchase I had been a very loyal customer to another dealership and was very leery of moving to another dealership as I do not like the normal hassles and long wait times of buying a car. Dahl Ford and Javier exceeded my expectations. This was by far the easiest car buying experience I have had. Javier did an awesome job finding the perfect truck for the deal. I would recommend all of my friends, family and anyone looking to purchase a car to work with Javier at Dahl Ford. Not only did I receive a great deal, but Dahl Ford gained a new customer who will be back over and over again! More

I was able to give my wife an experience she will remember her whole life. I talked with James first to see if it would be possible to trade my wife's fusion for a new red one. He ran the numbers and remember her whole life. I talked with James first to see if it would be possible to trade my wife's fusion for a new red one. He ran the numbers and talked to Ken (KV) . The deal was made without my wife knowing anything about it. Between Ken and James they set up a surprise by putting the car on the showroom floor, with a large bow on top. At a prearranged day and time ,I lured my wife to the dealership with a small white lie. We went to the showroom to see James.As we passed the car,she commented about the car and bow. James told her some guy had bought it for his wife. She looked at me and said it was just like you see on TV around Christmas. As she looked at the car,James handed me the keys and i handed them to her and said it's your car. All the salesmen on the floor started clapping and the tears started flowing. My wife said it was the biggest and best surprise of her life. We took pictures to have as keepsakes. I can't thank Ken and James enough for all their trouble to pull off this surprise! Thanks so much and Merry Christmas. John Inhelder More

This is the fourth vehicle that I've purchased at Dahl Ford and I will continue to deal exclusively with Dahl Ford and "Ike". The people are wonderful, considerate and professional. Jim "Ike" Isaac Dahl Ford and I will continue to deal exclusively with Dahl Ford and "Ike". The people are wonderful, considerate and professional. Jim "Ike" Isaacson is a great guy who makes sure that he gives you accurate information, he's honest and does not give you the run around like many other salesman I've dealt with over the years. Dahl's practice of giving you 120% of Kelley Blue Book is a great idea, I knew what my truck was worth before I entered the store and their figures were an exact match. Our negotiating a final out the door price was very relaxed and comfortable and I did not feel that I was being squeezed for every last penney. I believe that I got a good deal and an excellent vehicle. My past experience with the Service Department has been outstanding, great people and good service. They have been a family dealership for over fifty years and they seem to maintain a different attitude than I've experienced at other dealerships. Maybe that is why so many of their people have worked there for twenty years and longer and still have good things to say about their supervisors and the Dahl family. More

I came into Dahl Ford looking for a used car to replace my current car, a 2001 Pontiac Grand am. It was on its last leg and I needed to replace it soon. My family has bought a number of cars from Dahl and my current car, a 2001 Pontiac Grand am. It was on its last leg and I needed to replace it soon. My family has bought a number of cars from Dahl and we have always enjoyed our experience with the staff, especially the service staff after the purchase. I came in with very specific wants, and after driving a couple of cars I fell in love with my 2008 Ford Fusion, it was the perfect size for me, good trunk space and I really enjoy having the V6, even though it doesn't get that great of gas mileage. The reason my family keeps going back to Dahl is because they take care of you there, they give you a good deal and then take care of your car afterwards. Its a great place and I will certainly be back again. More

My husband and I needed to purchase two cars fast! We live in Chicago, but have heard such great things about Dahl Ford that we knew we were going to them. We worked with Javier Calleja and K.V. Dahl, o live in Chicago, but have heard such great things about Dahl Ford that we knew we were going to them. We worked with Javier Calleja and K.V. Dahl, over the phone, telling them what we wanted, when we needed it, etc. We got to the dealership and met with Javier (on his day off!) and he had picked out two perfect cars for us! The entire experience with Dahl Ford was fantastic! I love that K.V.-the owner-has his dog Ginny running around, and they let our dog come in and wander around with Ginny while we did the paperwork. The atmosphere in the dealership was so warm, friendly and fun! We actually had a good time buying our cars! I can't say enough good things about Javier, he went above and beyond what we expected to give us the best experience. We were so impressed that we were able to tell Javier, over the phone, what we wanted, and he got everything right-we didn't even look at other cars! He knew everything about the cars, and took the time to explain how everything worked, even giving us his cell phone number if we ever had any questions after leaving the lot. I also have to give a special shout out to the owner-K.V., he checked in on us every so often to make sure we were doing ok, played with our dog and just made us feel like a part of the Dahl family! We spent the next few days telling friends and family about the great experience we had at Dahl! We are now moving to Texas, but will always go back to Iowa to buy our cars from Dahl Ford! More
