Hi, my name is Phil Swaidner. I was born and raised here in Fort Wayne, Indiana. After being honorably discharged from the Marine Corps I remained in California working for a Fortune 100 company in a Top Secret Secured Environment. After moving home I was chosen as one of the original 14 Sales Associates to help open a local Import store. I have worked at 2 other dealerships in sales and new and used sales management. I am married to my wife Jane and also have a daughter named Hayley. I try to live my life by the Golden Rule, especially in dealing with customers.

My husband and I had a vehicle in mind when we called. I got Phil Swaidner on the line and he helped us perfectly from start to finish. I will definitely be coming back to buy my next car from Phil.

Phil & Nick were great! I showed up close to the end of the day but they were still welcoming and happy to work with me. Nick went the extra mile to work with me on my trade I showed up close to the end of the day but they were still welcoming and happy to work with me. Nick went the extra mile to work with me on my trade in and Phil was super attentive and nice. I really appreciate them working me with when while I had a toddler exploring the dealership! As someone whose purchased many vehicles from lots of different dealerships, I can say buying from here was no pressure, they clearly explained the numbers with no hidden fees. Mike in the finance department wasn't pushy with the warranties and was very engaging with my son. Overall I can't say enough positive things about my experience with O'Daniel Ford. More
