Galpin Ford

Where do I begin, I was in the market for an American 1 Ton Truck, but I was not looking forward to dealing with salesmen. I thought I would buy local, and on one of my trips to Lancaster, I stopped by Jo Ton Truck, but I was not looking forward to dealing with salesmen. I thought I would buy local, and on one of my trips to Lancaster, I stopped by Johnson Ford and found a Truck I liked, so I gave them a shot at selling me the vehicle. I felt pounced on by the two salesmen and a manager, whom thought they had someone to Schtup. The deal they offered me on a Ford F-450 was so outrageous, I had to laugh, then I got up and walked to the door. At the drop of a hat, the manager came down in price $10,000.00 by the time I stepped outside the showroom, in order to try and keep me there, but the deal was so bad and they only insulted me more, so I left. I just love those games! Next, I thought I would go through the Costco Auto Buying Program, and I was contacted by Jim Burke Ford in Bakersfield an hour later, and I told the salesman what I was looking for. To make a Long story short, they only had two 1 Ton trucks on the lot, and 3 weeks went by without an offer of a dealer search; or an offer to even order a new vehicle, the salesman was just not motivated? I contacted Costco’s Auto Buying Program and followed up on my experience with Jim Burke Ford. August 13, 2011, I visited Galpin Ford in the early evening, I was promptly greeted by Mark Winters, and we began a search of their truck inventory. After narrowing the choices down to a few trucks, I was introduced to Reza Fatemi, whom was a pleasure to do business with, as was Mark. I wanted to think about the choices overnight, get some cash, think about a trade in, etc., so I didn’t take a truck home with me and Reza didn’t push me to close a deal, which I appreciated. I returned the next day to buy a Truck, but not before calling Costco’s Auto buying Program to let them know that I was on my way to Galpin Ford to make a purchase, and Jim Burke Ford had lost a sale. I gave Costco the specifics of the deal, MSRP, Tax License, and out the door price. After calculating the figures, they said Galpin is giving me an extremely good deal and Galpin Ford is not a participant in the Costco Auto Buying Program. I felt good about my purchase and it was worth making drive to Galpin; the 2011 Tuxedo Black F-350 Super Duty Diesel King Ranch Crew cab dually 4X4 is awesome! It is the 5th Ford my Family has purchased from Galpin. What do I like about Galpin Motors, seeing what direction our government is taking the United States; we’re loosing technology, manufacturing processes, natural resources, and American jobs to foreign nations, yet Galpin Motors’ Bert Boeckmann is an American Patriot, whom has built a well-established and structured pattern of Business Behavior with a charitable character that provides jobs for 3000 people, a real “American Institution”, and this ideology is a fundamental part of Galpin’s culture. Every employee I have come into contact with, from the Receptionists in the Showroom, Waitresses at the Horseless Carriage Restaurant, Auto Sales, DMV/Contracts, Galpin Auto Sports, , Service Advisors, Shuttle Drivers, you name it, are all professional, friendly, accommodating, and made my Galpin experience a pleasurable one.

08/ 27/2011 Galpin has been the # 1 car 08/ 27/2011 Galpin has been the # 1 car dealer for my family and friends since Delfi Palma started to work right there. We had been following her since she was working at another car dealer. Now that she is at Galpin I recognized that the service is the most valuable that I have ever received while buying a car. Delfi is not only very polite and sweet, but also is the most professional and patiently person that I had ever meet in a car business. I remember once about four months ago when I sent one of my friends to buy a car with her, he was frustrated because he did not have any idea what to buy. Delfi spent about two days with this guy helping him on what was best for he and his family, finally he made his mind and there is my friend all excited driving his new car. After that my brother also wanted to buy a car, but this case was different he really knew the car that he wanted and the car dealer where Delfi works did not have it. She worked hard and in less than twenty-four hours my brother was driving the car of his dreams. I bought my own car 2010 last year, I call her and told her that I did not have time to look around for cars, but I told her what I was looking for and that I really trusted on her and an hour later she was calling me back to tell me that she had what I wanted. I went to Galpin signed all the papers and in less than two hours I was back at work again. Delfi is amazing the way she solve every single little thing, there is nothing that she had not resolve for us. We had never had to go to another car dealer because she couldn't help us, we had always received the best treat from her; she frequently calls us to know if we are completely satisfied about our selection. If we have any question after our purchase we also feel free to call her, she answers any doubt we can have about our cars. She is always in a good humor and making jokes about life. I remember one joke that she always says, don't worry about a problem everything has a solution in this beautiful world, the only thing that doesn't is the death. Att: Reyna Guardado More

The reason I gave Galpin such high marks was because of Sean Butts, I've never had such an easy time buying ANYTHING! I told Sean the car I wanted and what I wanted on it. He ordered it for me and when it came it was perfect. I am so happy! The ease and speed at which I was able to get through loan approval and all the paper work was amazing. Everyone should have such a great experience when buying a car. I definitely recommend Galpin and you should ask for Sean. -J More
