By April 1 Jackie and my salesman Brandon had found the perfect new vehivle replacment for me with financing that worked. I had to call my lift manufacturer to be sure any vehicle I looked at would handle my new needs a electric wheelchair and inside lift.That company total me they used the Ford Transit. Jackie told me about the mobility rebate for when I purchased my chair and lift. I purchased it in late September and after the install Jackie had walked the paperwork all the way through the ford mobility program. Today 10/20/11 I got my rebate check fast enough that I only needed a short term 1 month loan and now it is paid back and every thing fits inside my 2010 Blue Transit Connect van!!! (something Allstate Insurance loves) I have had workers from several companies stop me and ask about the van for their companies and recommended Jackie to get several disabled friends from a statewide meeting into this great responsive program. I could not have afforded it and get the reimbursement without Jackie! She kept in touch and worked hard to follow it. Transit is not well known- but everyone knows my Blue one! Service even smiles when I come in with my Ford. Allene Kaye Sinclair Rio Rancho,NM Ford Owner most of my life! More
It was evident the employees were actually acting on our behalf to best address our personal needs. They did so in a very friendly manner. I believe this type training comes from the top down in this deal behalf to best address our personal needs. They did so in a very friendly manner. I believe this type training comes from the top down in this dealership evidenced by them being awarded the Presidents Club eleven years. These employees both have auto dealership experience & say they are where they are because of belief the Don Chalmers is such personable man of high values. More
I spent months looking for a good used minivan at a good price. Went to a dozen different dealers to look at different vans. Always had the same problems when I got to the dealerships of poor condition or e price. Went to a dozen different dealers to look at different vans. Always had the same problems when I got to the dealerships of poor condition or excessive pricing vs kbb when I would find a good van. My search ended with Don Chalmers Ford. My wife and I found a great 2003 Ford Windstar in great condition and finally also at a great price. My salesman was John Pond. He was very pleasant and professional to work with. The whole purchase process was painless and quick. Anyone looking for good, fair deal on a used vehicle or for a new Ford should definitely pay a visit to Don Chalmers Ford. They exceeded our expectations. More
We are repeat customers at this dealership. Ron, Amy and Jackie were very helpful in answering questions, explaining everything and never gave us the feeling of being pressured into buying.

I found the 2006 Highlander Hybrid listing at Don Chalmers Ford through Kelly Blue Book online. I called the dealership immediately. It was Peter Rivas who took my call that night and he has been a Chalmers Ford through Kelly Blue Book online. I called the dealership immediately. It was Peter Rivas who took my call that night and he has been a complete angel and wonderful representative of this fine dealership ever since. Pete made our purchase as seamless and pain-free as possible, MUCH less painful than we could ever have imagined. He really bent over backwards and went the extra mile to make us feel no pressure while we considered the purchase. I must tell you that due to him, we had absolutely no hesitation buying the car from Don Chalmers. We count ourselves truly lucky to have had him as our salesman and are ever grateful to him. We love our car and the deal he made for us. This may sound silly and over-the-top in praise, but we mean every word and are not exaggerating. We had no idea what our experience would be at a car dealership and were worried. Once we met Peter and spent time with him on our long test drive, we knew we'd be okay. We also had the distinct advantage of meeting with Jackie Sidden to facilitate our car financing. Once again, she was truly wonderful and got us a loan better that we had hoped for (we had already been approved at another Credit Union but she made us a much better offer). She also went the extra mile for us when we bumped into a few glitches along the way to finalizing the loan. She was there for us and available every step of the way, holding our hands to the finishing line. We are truly grateful to have worked with her as well. If Peter and Jackie are representative of the kind of staff at Don Chalmer’s Ford, I can’t imagine ever wanting to by a car anywhere else, even if it's another Toyota!!! Bravo and thanks for such a pleasant experience in car purchasing. We will always check with Don Chalmers Ford first if we intend to buy a car, and we will certainly spread the word about the quality of care they deliver to their customers through people such as Pete and Jackie.

Once we found the get the truck we wanted. We went to the dealership with very specific ideas of what we wanted and Dave worked until he found it. Once we found the vehicle, he again worked very hard to get us a fantastic deal. Dave is very personable and goes the extra mile to make sure that is a very positive experience. Jackie Sidden, finance manager, also went above and beyond to get us the deal we wanted. She knew the price range we were looking for and that we like to get the extended warranty and searched tirelessly to find the best deal for us. I would highly reccomend Don Chalmers for your next vehicle purchase and especially the team of Dave Piazza and Jackie Sidden. You will leave with a smile on your face! More
