What a contrast in dealerships! I was having a serious problem with my breaks. Called early Friday morning explaining It was my only transportation and asked if I got it in that morn I was having a serious problem with my breaks. Called early Friday morning explaining It was my only transportation and asked if I got it in that morning would I be able to have it by the end of the day. That indicated that would be likely. I took it in then. I called about 3:30 to see how it was coming and was told they hadn't looked at it yet. When I again explained my urgency the person took my number and said she'd call me. Later when I called I was told they were closed for the day. I called early Saturday morning and was told they would've get to it that day. Had I known it was going to be ignored I would have taken it elsewhere. I lost 3 days because of Sunday with out a vehicle. On Monday I took it to another dealership where I was welcomed to a clean orderly service center, the opposite of Wayland Ford, There I told them of my needs. Within minutes they discovered my problem was part of a recent recall. They would need several hours to get the part but would be able to have it done in about 4 or 5 hours. Then they gave me a loaner to use for the day. There was no charge to me because of the recall. Guess where I will go next time I need a repair! More
Excellent Experience There are no words to say that could explain how HAPPY I am that I came here. I got more for my trade then expected AND got into a 2015 vehicle for ab There are no words to say that could explain how HAPPY I am that I came here. I got more for my trade then expected AND got into a 2015 vehicle for about $40 less a month then anticipated!!! Now, mind you I called a BILLION places before driving up here. I told them I didn't want them to waste my time. Kevin helped me and let me test drive different vehicles and was SOOO helpful! I feel SO blessed to have found this place. I've never had such a positive experience at a dealership IN MY LIFE LOL. If I buy any other vehicles, I'll be coming here and sending EVERYONE I know here. More
LMAO! I visited to price a new truck. I needed a few upgrades as my job is in construction and a backup camera and other things are needed. My trade is a 2 I visited to price a new truck. I needed a few upgrades as my job is in construction and a backup camera and other things are needed. My trade is a 2105 Ford F150 XLT with 53,000 miles. It is in mint shape, no scratches and the interior is perfect. I get comments on how nice my truck is every day!! I find the truck I want and get the fair price (only good part of the process). Perky says that the sales manager needs to take it for "a spin" and I'm totally good with that. However, the sales manager is alone in his office and taking his time to drive my truck. I mention that I need to get moving and still have to meet clients. Finally, the sales manager walks out ( with attitude as he looks at me). Oh, it took Perky two times to let this guy know that I was rushed. After a two minute drive, the sales manager walks in.....without even getting on the freeway and says my truck is worth $25,000 on a trade! I said "you are out of your mind" and walked out. Oh, did I mention that I once worked for a very large company that has several dealerships and asked my sales manager friend about my truck? He was very willing to give $32,000 for it. This sales manager was quite unprofessional and I don't even know the guy. My experience was just terrible. My neighbor bought his F150 from this dealership and told me he will never buy another from there but says the service is great! More
Honesty does go a long way I believe honesty always trumps false hope. Somehow we went from almost approved for a lease, pending a detail verification, to "there is nothing we c I believe honesty always trumps false hope. Somehow we went from almost approved for a lease, pending a detail verification, to "there is nothing we can do for you". I am confused how we went from definitely being able to get something, and taking the car for the weekend, because it was going to happen, to a call on Monday saying that it won't work. How was this not known on Friday? Ford Credit should have known this ahead of time. So we took a new car home for the weekend, showed it off to everyone, super excited to have a new car, just to have to give it back and take back our trade in. We should have been told Friday that nothing would happen, they shouldn't have let us drive the car, and they shouldn't have hyped up everything, only to destroy our happiness and turn it into disappointment. They will say anything to keep you there, hope to get you to agree to almost anything, and hope that you like something enough to pay more than you can afford. At first, I like our salesman, appeared to be honest, and maybe outside of the dealership he is, but he is definitely a "salesman" at work. I don't know why it is so hard for anyone in the car sales industry to be honest. Doesn't anyone understand that their sales would increase if they just did that? So now, I will never go there. I will tell anyone looking for a car to avoid there. (I almost sent my mother-in-law there, I am glad this happened before she did.) There are better dealers out there. Do your research, and save yourself the headaches! More

Ed Koehn Ford Wayland - Disappointing I'm including an email I sent to the manager of this place, Perky Knoll. It explains quite a bit of what we just experienced with them. Dear Mr. k I'm including an email I sent to the manager of this place, Perky Knoll. It explains quite a bit of what we just experienced with them. Dear Mr. knoll, We recently came to the Ed Koehn car sales office shopping for a vehicle. Unfortunately, we found the experience to be frustrating and confusing which left us feeling extremely unvalued as customers. Since you seem to be the person in the upper management position, I wanted you to know what we encountered. My mother-in-law and I came to your car lot on Friday, October 2. We were greeted by Emmar when we entered the showroom. He did explain to us that he was new and would deffer to his supervisor when necessary. This was all perfectly fine with us and he did go back to the showroom for information about certain vehicles and to get keys. I have spent many years in sales both in retail and commission environments with being a Realtor so I absolutely understand the being new and the continued training involved. We were very patient when he couldn't answer our questions and had to go for assistance - we were very patient when he came back without the information because it was apparently unknown or unavailable - we were very patient when keys could not be found for two of the vehicles we would have liked to look at closer. We were also patient when he was a given a price of a vehicle we were extremely interested in that he had quoted incorrectly in the upper $20,000 range. At that point, he told us that he was wrong with the numbers and that he was just then told the price was actually lower, at just under $22,000. Now, we also have a truck we were interested in trading in and asked if it would be possible to use a dealer's plate so we could bring it in to be looked at to gain a trade-in price. First we were told yes. Then we were told he could come take a look at it the very next day, which would be Saturday, October 3, at about 11:00 in the morning. We were very surprised and happy about this kind of service. Well, the next day comes and it is near 3PM and no one is here and there was no call. So we called Emmar. No answer on the cell phone. So we called the office line. Emmar told my mother-in-law that he was sorry but had gotten very busy there. He had intended to call us (by this point we are hours past the appointment time). So, he stated he could come on Monday - today - IF he would be allowed to come by his supervisor ... but doesn't tell us who is going to let us know. We decided to call the office back and speak with a manager and was given to Rich. Now, my mother-in-law explained to Rich a bit of what we had been experiencing but she was very adamant that Emmar not get into trouble as we understand how hard it is to be this new and then deal with customers. She explained, however, that we are serious buyers and really wanted to have our questions addressed directly and not through all the back and forth communication which was getting so confusing. Rich offered to come out Monday, today, and he even chose the time as I could be very flexible. He stated they would bring the vehicle that we were so sure we were going to purchase along with as much information about this vehicle that was available and while here, he would be able to give us a good estimate on what could be offered as a trade-in amount for our truck. He told us he could be here today at noon. Well, today, Emmar calls us in the morning to inform us that the price we were given on the 2013 Ford Explorer was wrong for the third time ... it was $7,000 MORE than what we were last told. That was extremely disappointing but with the truck trade-in, we thought maybe we could still work out a deal that would make both sides happy. Emmar did call again at about 11:15 and lets me know that they are just wrapping some things up there and would need about 15 to 20 minutes longer to get here. I said that was absolutely fine with me and would expect them then at 12:20 or so. That time comes and no one arrives. I waited until after 1PM and then called Emmar's cell. No answer again. So I have to call the office line ... and yes, he is still there. He apologizes again but can't really tell me when they are coming. At this point, Mr. Knoll, we felt very undervalued. We are motivated, willing and able buyers excited about a vehicle at your dealership. All Emmar could do was apologize but it seemed we already had accepted a line of apologies. I expressed to him our disappointment and stated to him that I am truly wondering why it is feeling like they did not want to sell us a vehicle. He offered to relay our communication to Rich and I told him instead that I am more than willing to express our disappointment to Rich myself. Rich did speak with me. When I told him how we were sitting there feeling undervalued and very frustrated, what I received was an explanation of how busy they were there and how he was bending over backward to accommodate us by being willing to travel the entire 40 minutes to Hastings ... ignoring the fact that we had ourselves traveled this distance to view the vehicles there and that we had originally offered to bring our truck to Wayland. Instead of acknowledging why we would feel the way we did and assuring us that your dealership would work with us to smooth this over so we could drive away with the beautiful vehicle we fell in love with and as a new client for years to come, I was made to feel that I should be grateful for what efforts were being made to come to us ... and yet, no one ever actually fulfilled the appointments. To be fair, Rich did state they could leave shortly after our phone conversation but, honestly, at that point, we were done listening to how he was trying to accommodate us when in fact, we were doing all of the accommodating. We accommodated for a shiny new salesperson who didn't know the prices, could find the keys, etc. We accommodated for misinformation. We accommodated for missed appointments. And during all of this, not once did we get rude, raise our voice or become difficult to deal with. We simply wanted to know why they did not feel we were customers worth their time or consideration. Having been a Realtor for years, I am completely empathetic to schedules, glitches and being very busy. However, this also makes me extremely aware of how important it is to come across a customer who has all the makings of reaching a closing and becoming more than a one time customer ... someone who can be transformed into a long term client. In the not so far off future, we will need yet another vehicle for myself (currently, we are purchasing for my husband) and my mother-in-law will be leasing a vehicle when she sells her current Trail Blazer. That is three vehicles just within our one household and doesn't include the word of mouth to our family, friends and coworkers. I am sure that you understand this but not so sure with the two men we encountered at your company. We are disappointed that we could not get the 2013 Ford Explorer at your dealership that we were so excited about. We have come across another one that we will be seeing this weekend and are hoping to love just as much and maybe close the deal early next week. I suppose I just needed to know that someone in upper management was aware of what some of us are experiencing at your dealership. I appreciate your time in reading this. If nothing else, it helped me to at least write and send it. More
Service on vehicle unsatisfactory. After having extensive motor work done, I developed another problem with my vehicle.

I phoned Ed Koehn after seeing an ad for a Ford Taurus and wanted to get their unlisted price - I was told by Pedro that he could not offer me the vehicle I was calling about within my price range but he and wanted to get their unlisted price - I was told by Pedro that he could not offer me the vehicle I was calling about within my price range but he had another one which he could sell "out the door" for $15,000. I didn't want to waste either his time or mine so I confirmed this before making the 30 minute drive. After arriving at the dealership and taking the test drive I asked Pedro to get me the price plus evaluate my trade in (which has a KBB value of approx. $4,000). He took a very long time dealing with Aaron Koehn and then came back with "great news". He told me the vehicle would now be $15,995 (before taxes or fees) and that they could give me a full $1500 in trade in for my $4,000 vehicle. I was beyond stunned and told Pedro that he must be mistaken since he already told me the vehicle would be $15,000 including everything out the door and the price he now had was over $15,000 including my trade in! He said he would never have stated that to me, which is 100% untrue. The owner (Aaron) saw this conversation and did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to assist, explain or help. Pedro was a blantant liar and someone which I would deeply caution you or anyone else you know from dealing with. This dealership is a scam and full of lying people who could care less about helping a potential buyer. I took my business to a small independent dealer in Jenison instead on completed my car purchase yesterday. Ed Koehn Wayland is a complete joke and I would not recommend anyone to deal with them unless you want to be lied to and treated like garbage. More
