Steve always returned my calls, and answered any questions I had. I would also like to thank Mark the technology person who went over all the features of my new vehicle. He said if I have any questions to call him and he will help me. Van Bortel is approximately 1hr. and 20 minutes from where I live and I would definitely consider making the drive to buy there again, great dealership. Job well done, and thanks to all involved.

Dan Happ is AWESOME! Best car dealership experience, ever! My wife and I have never been so favorably impressed.

To start, the overall atmosphere/ambiance of the showroom was relaxing & welcoming. Dan was so knowledgeable, so personable, so charming! My wife appreciated his ability to understand her finely-tuned sense of aesthetics, and helped ease the transition from driving some cute car from Los Angeles….to driving a full-size pick-up truck. As for me, I was under some time constraints to purchase a “tow vehicle” for a recently purchased travel trailer. Had to wrap it up in two days, in order to make the trip to meet the trailer’s seller, to transact the deal. Dan made it happen! He definitely went way out of his way to accommodate our quick turnaround, and we will never forget him. He didn’t push his own agenda; instead, just listened to us, and went with the flow. Comfortable & fun! THANKS FOR EVERYTHING, DAN! More

Drove 1350 miles from Florida to do business here, because of the way they treated me when I lived in Rochester. I saved a lot of money vs buying in Florida, but I still would have come to Van Bortel because of the way they treated me when I lived in Rochester.

Transparency Friendly, helpful, and responsive. I would have given 5 stars but the lack of transparency when it comes to trade-in value could be better. trade-in b Friendly, helpful, and responsive. I would have given 5 stars but the lack of transparency when it comes to trade-in value could be better. trade-in based on local auction deals, i dont believe the public has access to that knowledge. If you are used to negotiating with dealerships, Van Bortel might not be your dealership of choice. However, Overall the price of the vehicle was good. It appears Ford is now competing more with other brands by offering larger rebates than in the past. If rebates are not large, going to another dealership is a must to compare costs. I considered Van Bortel 2 yrs ago but put off by one salesman. Different salesman made the difference. More
