I recently purchased a new Maverick and Cade was my

salesman. This young man was patient and extremely helpful answering all of my questions. He was extremely knowledgeable about the vehicles, I considered. If you find yourself in the market for a vehicle, stop at Ames Ford and ask for Cade.

ServiceNovember 2025

Being stuck in Ames, Iowa when from El Paso, Texas is not

what a traveler desires. On November 2 (Saturday evening) after filling my 2010 F-350 with fuel, it would not start. It was towed to Ames Ford Lincoln for repairs. On Monday morning, with little hope of getting real "timely" service, we approached Seth and Brandon in the Service Department and explained our dilemma. Theye responded that they would do everything they could to get us back on the road. By 4 o'clock the truck had a .new fuel pump, 2 new filters, 2 new batteries and had been road tested and we could continue on our journey. Anka, the cashier was very friendly and helpful. Thanks to Seth, Brandon Cornelius and two courtesy drivers: Steve and John, we were on our way. We arrived at our home (a distance of 1,168 miles) without any more vehiclular problems due to the excellent service your crew provided us.. We are very grateful for quality service and would recommend Ames Ford Lincoln very highly. Thank you very, very much. Bob and Sandy Bowermaster

After many many searches online, I landed on a vehicle

that Ames Ford was offering. I reached out to check availability and shortly after, Breanna contacted me to get the ball rolling. When I tell you this girl was so incredibly awesome to work with it cannot be understated. She was super flexible with my means of communication, answered all of my questions and was so pleasant beginning to end. I cannot thank her enough for easing my stress of buying a car. I would recommend her 100 times over to anyone. Everyone at the dealership from the moment I pulled up until I pulled away was so friendly! If there is something that you find in their inventory, do not hesitate to check them out. I hope everyone leaves as happy as I did!

Bre, Jimmy and the whole team went above and beyond to

help us find a vehicle that would be a great trade in for our financial goal. They understood how much we were willing to spend and honored that and were still able to help us find the perfect vehicle. Specifically Bre had fantastic communication. She was very responsive, polite and professional. She was very personable as we were waiting for the banks to get back to Jimmy and get paperwork all situated. All in all we have had another great experience here at Ames ford! Thanks for all you do!

My experience was great.

Bri took care of me and kept me advised on some necessary repairs that were made to the vehicle. From test drive to sale everything went smooth and quick. They went over and above what was expected delivering my vehicle to my workplace after repairs were complete. Would definitely recommend purchasing there.

worked with. Most of the deal was done over the phone and that meant I only spent about an hour at the actual dealership. Clinton was great to work with and if I ever need to car shop again, I’d definitely go back!

Great experience in an industry that has frustrated me

for years. This now makes the 5th car I’ve bought out of the state of Arizona. John did exactly what he said he would and the truck was just as described really even better. Thanks for the breath of fresh air in an industry that it’s in short supply. From my experience as an out of state buyer I can recommend you using John and not having to worry that the car is 4 states away.
