New Brighton Ford

I drove in with a battery that had just been jump-started elsewhere. Service Advisor Ted LaFleche suggested they test the battery first to see what kind of condition report would come back. The battery checked out "O.K.", but in discussing the situation with Ted, I decided to go ahead and replace the battery now (Dec. cold weather had just started, and this was the second time the battery needed to be jumped). Old battery would likely have "made it" in June or July). I drove into Quick Lane (Dec. 5, '17) and drove out with a new battery installed (and peace of 'winter' mind) in approximately one hour, 15 minutes. That was a quick enough turnaround for me!

I bought a used car at New Brighton Ford & a lifetime warranty was included. I was told service had to be done at the dealer or an assigned service shop to be approved by the warranty company. The warranty also isn't effective until after 3 months & 3000 miles. Shortly after purchase I called the warranty company & was told that I could bring it to any ASE shop but need to retain receipts. I had the transmission & radiator flushed at the required mileage at a shop of my choice. After 3 months & over 3000 miles passed, I called the warranty company again to make sure the warranty is valid. This time I was told that I need to ask New Brighton Ford if another service shop can do maintenance. New Brighton Ford said not unless I lived more than 60 miles from the dealer. My warranty is no longer valid because I had maintenance done at another shop. The party authorized to allow other service shops closer to my home changed from the warranty company (who I was initially told made those decisions) to New Brighton Ford (weeks later after I had service I thought was approved elsewhere).

Rich S was/is the most informative, helpful sales person I've ever met. He answered my many questions with understanding(I've lost count) and I'll be back to New Brighton Ford and I recommend you to do the same to see Rich. He's the greatest!

Saturday we went to see Rich S. we were just looking for a future purchase...however Rich showed us a few options, ran some numbers and we purchased same day!! It was the best experience we have ever had in purchasing a vehicle. We felt like he listened to our vehicle needs and budget concerns and we could not walk away from the opportunity to own a new Ford F-150. We will be back specifically to see Rich S. in the future should we have another vehicle need. Thank you Sir!

I'll be honest; shopping for a vehicle is not my favorite way to pass the time. But. A friend referred me to Rich and I actually enjoyed the experience! A true gentleman right off the bat, he showed me the options available based on my budget and made the experience fun and efficient. No pressure. Ever. I love my new car and actually look forward to going back for my next one!

This was by far the best car buying experiences I have ever had. Rich S met me and listened to what I was looking for in a car then showed me a couple of options. He then let me take my time looking it over and answered all of my questions in depth. The entire experience made me comfortable. He didn't pressure me at all but made me feel like he had all the time in the world to help me choose the right car. I would definately recommend purchasing a car from Rich S to anyone.

I recently stopped in at New Brighton Ford to look for a vehicle. I was on a limited budget and not sure what type of car I wanted. I was greeted by Rich S. who quickly started suggesting different vehicles that I could choose from. He was very professional, and it was clear that he knew what he was talking about. Rich was not pushy like most car salesmen I have met and was very honest when it came to the questions I had. He also worked with me until we could settle on a price that I could afford. I ended up purchasing a Ford Focus and am very happy with the vehicle. Other salespeople should take lessons from Rich on how to treat the customer. Thank you Rich, you were awesome!

I met Rich by chance on a Saturday while looking for a car for my wife. I wasn't ready to buy, just evaluating my options. I met him again on a Saturday night at a restaurant and he convinced me to come back and drive a truck. I drove off in a new 2014 F150 the next weekend after a "no-pressure" test drive of the truck. Rich is laid back and worked to get me a deal that worked for me and blew away the competition and anything I've seen on TrueCar. He listens to customers and makes the numbers work. I love the truck and had a great experience.

I had done my research and visited many other dealerships before I arrived at NB Ford. I was very pleased with how I was treated and the ease of the process. I am someone who does not enjoy shopping for cars, and Shane responded very well to my need for expedience, without sacrificing thoroughness. He even took the time to explain all the features of my new car - without being condescending. I was thrilled to conclude my car search and am very much enjoying my purchase.
