I searched Cars.com and found a desired vehicle at Bocker Auto Group in Freeport, IL…read more Unfortunately, the dealer was located an hour and a half drive from my home. I called and asked if the car was still available, and the receptionist politely connected me with the sales manager, Gary. The car was available, and he said he would have it ready for inspection whenever I arrived. Upon my arrival, the lady at the service desk cordially escorted me to meet the sales manager who in turn introduced me to Marvin Allen, his sales representative. Marvin was the most pleasant and personable car salesperson I had ever met. He showed me to the car which was parked directly outside of the showroom, allowed for an extended test-drive, and upon returning to the dealership, patiently described in detail the history and all of the features of the vehicle. And, when it came to including and dealing with my trade-in, a more-than-fair offer was presented and accepted. During my visit, I was also introduced to the owner and interfaced with other sales representatives. In my honest opinion, everyone was exceptionally friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. If you happen to find a used vehicle that you're interested in at Bocker Auto Group and want an unbelievably great purchasing experience, go there and ask for Marvin. Personally, it was well worth the trip, especially while I was driving back home in my newly purchased SUV as a truly satisfied customer.

Fair warning!!! Do NOY buy a used vehicle from Freeport Ford unless you're looking for a LEMON!!…read moreWe were sold a 2020 Ford Escape and within the first 2 weeks the rear differential goes OUT!! Followed by the computer screen getting hot as FIRE and GLITCHED and could not be used for three days. Took it back to the service department and after being there for about a week, they found NOTHING wrong with it!! Then another week or two goes by and the LEMON starts jumping down the road. Take it back in and there were three plugs that were bad AND the ignition coil was also out and this all occurred within in a two month period of time. The vehicle spent a total of 30 days in the service department, and I felt that they owed us a car payment since they had it for month!!! So at this point, Andrew, the owner's son tells us "don't worry, if anything else goes wrong we'll put you into another vehicle". Well the last week of April 2026 the car started randomly turning off at red lights,and a message would pop up telling you to put the car in park and restart it, like seriously?¿!¡ This ALL occurred in approximately a two and a half month period. Well I spoke to Andrew, whom by the way is the owner's Son. He said he had never heard anything like the last issue but said don't worry, if anything else occurs he'd get us into another vehicle. Well my husband and I figured that they'd find something similar and get us into it. Not exactly true!! They had a 2019 (year older than the they sold us), granted it had 25K miles on it but the we have is a year newer with 50K miles and here's the kicker, they were trying to say that the MSRP is 29,000, so for 10 grand more, ya they'd get us into something else. What an absolute joke. So here we sit with a humongous and there's not a damned thing we can do about it!!! THANKS A LOT FREEPORT FORD!!!! Buyer beware when purchasing a used car from them and do yourself a favor, read all the negative reviews from different review sites. Trust me you'll be glad that you didn't buy a lemon from there and bought a vehicle from a more reputable dealership and didn't get a JUNKER from FREEPORT FORD!!!!!

While speaking to Goordy on serval occasions he had said that my expectations were unrealistic about having my car back in a month after they had it for 7 mths. A total of 8 mths they had my car. He also told me that I was not a priority and that he had other customers. Also said that I could not have my car and the down-payment for the work back. Because I wanted to take it to a different shop. I would not recommend them at all.
