My husband and I found ourselves in immediate need of a vehicle following a collision that left our car a total wreck. We spent several days checking out numerous vehicles in dealerships throughout the Qua vehicle following a collision that left our car a total wreck. We spent several days checking out numerous vehicles in dealerships throughout the Quad Cities and even in some surrounding communities. We felt overwhelmed and under pressure to find something quickly; not a situation we're comfortable with, especially when purchasing big ticket items. I placed a call to K.V. Dahl, explained our predicament and immediately felt like a weight had been lifted! He asked what we were looking for in a new auto; make, model, options, price range, etc., and then arranged for us to meet, THAT DAY, with Javier Calleja. Javier called me 10 minutes later to confirm our meeting and to get an idea of what we might be interested in. He selected several vehicles for us to look at, walked us through the lot to look at each one (it was very cold and windy, I might add!), explained in great detail, all the specifics one would want to know about each one and then proceeded to guide us, first, toward the one he thought best matched our list of desirable features/qualities/ price range. He was spot on! After a test drive, it was love! Javier then spent a LOT of time with us; listening to our concerns, answering our many questions, he was very patient, extremely knowledgeable and so straight up! K.V. popped in several times to chat with us as well and introduced us to Dahl Ford's resident sweetheart, Ginny! We also spent considerable time with Terry, the financial specialist and he explained our many options, clearly and concisely, and calculated (and re-calculated) numbers to get us the best pricing, coverage and monthly payment. Long story short, I drove off their lot, THAT DAY, with an absolutely amazing new ride and, hands down, the BEST auto-buying experience EVER! The customer service was just exemplary! We were treated like family; we were afforded care, genuine concern and complete consideration from everyone involved in the process. Even now, days later, we are still basking in the glow of our "Dahl Ford Experience" as we show off our new Ford! We are very satisfied customers and have already recommended (and raved about!) Dahl Ford and Javier Calleja to our friends, family and co-workers! Thank you so very much! Jay and Mindy Kankel More

Javier was very helpful and friendly. He was a low pressure salesman and took time to answer all of my questions. Terry was also friendly and knowledgable. I didn't even plan to buy a car that day, bu pressure salesman and took time to answer all of my questions. Terry was also friendly and knowledgable. I didn't even plan to buy a car that day, but I did my homework before stopping in and Dahl had a car on the lot that truly fit my needs. It was priced fairly and I felt I got a fair price for my trade in. More

Everything at Dahl Ford was a great experience. My fiance and I went in and each got new vehicles. I can honestly say that i will probably never go anywhere else to purchase cars. and I went in and each got new vehicles.

I bought my first new car, a 1964 Mustang from Nels Johnson at Dahl Ford when the Mustangs first were introduced. Since then, I have bought many new and used cars from numerous auto dealers in the QCA Johnson at Dahl Ford when the Mustangs first were introduced. Since then, I have bought many new and used cars from numerous auto dealers in the QCA, a great percentage from Dahl. I have always found Dahl Ford to be a great place to buy a vehicle. I can not say enough good things about the staff at the dealership; from Jerry in the body shop, to Gary and the guys in parts, to Dan and April and the crew at service desk. Tim O'Leary (sales) has been excellent to work with and always available when needed. Ken Dahl was a good friend of my son and I can see why. He is energetic and driven to suceed both personally and for Dahl Ford. I appreciate his candor and is constant presence at the dealership; he is a true people person...even though he needs to take singing lessons if he continues to record those "happy birthday" greetings....
