Did not think that it could happen as rapidly as it did. very happy we went to Whaling City Ford and have already said so to friends. More
In the end, the choice was obvious Usually buying pre-owned cars, I was a bit anxious about making the choice to buy a new truck. I started looking with no pre-disposed brand or dealers Usually buying pre-owned cars, I was a bit anxious about making the choice to buy a new truck. I started looking with no pre-disposed brand or dealership loyalty, so I ended up researching and looking at just about every model out there at dealerships spanning a 30 mile area near my home. After what felt like a marathon of test drives and talks with sales staff, I was happily surprised with how easy choosing a dealership was in the end. Whaling City Ford's staff were all of the good things you'd expect from a dealership (welcoming, knowledgeable, eager to help, etc) while not being pushy or gimmicky. Going for a test drive with Eric Nunez felt more like a post-sale run through of all the neat features of your new vehicle instead of a pre-sale pitch. He didn't come across as condescending to an inexperienced 'car driver' now looking to buy a truck, nor did any of the staff ever come across as negative toward other brands or dealerships. They presented their vehicles, staff, services, and financial numbers and then politely asked you to consider giving them your business. Sitting to go over numbers with Greg LaBeau was like sitting with a family accountant that you've known for years to talk about retirement options. He was instantly likable and did an incredible job of presenting financial options (and how he got there) without putting me to sleep. I also want to mention their general manager Nathan Gaucher, who helped me with my trade-in and was another key factor in me making my decision. There was no hard sell at the end with the usual "what do we have to do to put you in this car" pitch. In the end, driving away from Whaling City Ford in my new truck left me feeling 'assisted' in my vehicle search rather than 'sold', and I would highly recommend anyone looking for a vehicle to at least include them in your search. I'm glad that I did. More

Dedicated staff; professional service Coming from experiencing previous dealerships, you guys are a cut above the rest. The owners are present, not somewhere else. Very refreshing to see t Coming from experiencing previous dealerships, you guys are a cut above the rest. The owners are present, not somewhere else. Very refreshing to see the Business manager is in the showroom along with the dealer working hard to get the deal going. You guys made the car buying process feel like a breeze. Well defined, very helpful, organized I knew I was in the right place from the get go and that I belonged here, you wanted my business, and it showed. Once the price was set and we had a defined understanding of which car, the staff went to work efficiently getting everything changed over for the sale. This went quick, with Zero issues to mention thanks to Dan and his team. Dealing with Aaron on the financial end, was precise and to the point, with nothing left up in the air. Any questions I had where answered with ease and I left feeling I gained a new friend. Thank you all for your business, I look forward to purchasing a towing vehicle from you in the near future. More

A First Time For Everything! As a first time car buyer, I walked in having little to no clue what was to come. My uncle who is the Service Manager, handed me over to Dan. We test As a first time car buyer, I walked in having little to no clue what was to come. My uncle who is the Service Manager, handed me over to Dan. We test drove a 2016 Ford Fiesta and I fell in love. Walked off the lot 2 hours later with the keys in my hand. The entire team at Whaling City definitely took care of me and made me feel extremely comfortable. When purchasing a vehicle (Especially for the first time) I 10/10 recommend coming to Whaling City, you'll definitely be taken care of. More
Great staff; complete service We were met and greeted at the door every time we went in.

We were paired up with a highly competent and considerate salesperson, who soon understood what we needed and matched that to what they had on hand. The selected vehicle was driven up for our inspection. We drove around the block with the salesperson. We negotiated. We bought the vehicle. And the staff went to work on prepping the car, getting the registration, talking with our insurance carrier, everything. There was a little wait for the special preps and the salesperson and staff were completely amiable. We talked with the owners, general manager, sales manager, business manager - the whole family. And they took our old car and we drove off in our new car completely happy with the whole experience (to say nothing of the zippy new car). More
Great experience We were in looking for a safe vehicle for our 16 year old. Daniel was very helpful and even made sure to ask if he was including her enough in the pro We were in looking for a safe vehicle for our 16 year old. Daniel was very helpful and even made sure to ask if he was including her enough in the process. Originally we were going to have her look at a few other vehicles, but she was so happy with the car and we felt comfortable with the sale so we drive it home that day. More
