One of the best FORD dealerships I have ever dealt with to date! Our daughter goes to ISU and had car issues, called them and Jessica in Service was amazing to work with. She was friendly, caring, knowledgeable, punctual and carried through from start to finish. From the minute I talked to her I knew we were in good hands and we truly were. They gave us options, fair quotes, and amazing service. Another great reason I am happy my daughter is in Ames! Thank you for taking care of us Ames Ford- you are top notch! Kara, Wisconsin

Fantastic dealership. I buy cars every year, and by far this was the fastest, easiest, and friendliest buying experience in all my years of buying. The sales staff is highly knowledgeable and enthusiastic. The finance team is on point and works for the customer. Very satisfied customer.

Came in today and Jack Clayton helped us get a car. He was AMAZING! So polite and didnt make us feel pushed into getting anything we couldnt afford. We told him what we were looking for and what the price range was and he worked his magic. Thank you again Jack!!

Ames is great! Bought over the phone and trust the process! They’ll be delivering my car to me in Texas within the next few days! So excited!

I bought a car back in February and love it. The sales team treated me very well. I have had transmission issues with the car and also had found a coolant leak which I brought back to the service department. They reprogrammed my transmission and then told me I did not have a coolant leak. A week ago, I found I was completely out of coolant and my transmission was still slipping. I called and talked about my frustration with the service department, I was then told that the coolant leak was never looked at in my car. The service manager Brian, was very helpful with the whole situation and did a GREAT job communicating with me about these issues and what would need to be done with the coolant leak as well as the transmission. I strongly believe that Brian holds his employees to a high standard and am glad that I was able to be in contact with him. After a rocky start, Brian will be the reason I will continue to come back to Ames Ford.

Spencer was great! Him do good with me buy car. Very nice young lad

I bought a used vehicle at Ames Ford Lincoln. My sales man was Adrian, very kind and nice guy. I strongly recommend you to buy here if you have a plan to buy whether you want to buy a used vehicle or a new ford vehicle. They just have a price so that you dont worry that you were scammed. The price of vehicle is reasonable. Anyway, buying the car was perfect experience for me.

Really impressed. I’ve used Ames Ford a few times for repairs on my Ford vehicle and every time they’ve communicated what the issue with my vehicle was quickly and have fairly priced their repair services. Gaining customer trust is a difficult thing to do and Ames Ford has certainly gained mine. I would highly recommend their repair services.

Adrian was great to work with on a recent used car purchase, along with the rest of the crew i had contact with. Good coffee as well. I rarely purchase from dealers, but Ill be happy to return here if I spot something I like out on the lot once again. Thanks!

I worked with David on a transaction and had an excellent experience and will definitely be back to this dealer in the future for a future purchase. A big thank you to Spencer for his help as well. Everyone went above and beyond.

I had the best experience today with David. He was so helpful, kind, and he made my car selling experience a breeze. I highly recommend him if you’re looking to sell your car. And everyone else in every department was amazing! Check them out! (They truly offers TOP DOLLARS)

No hassle up front car shopping. Clearly displayed prices. First positive experience when car shopping EVER! Ask for Adam in sales whether buying a new or used car for a hard worker who is on your side. He works hard to make all parties happy, buyer & seller. Andrew in financing is a rock star and quickly/clearly explains the process. Now this next part might sound strange, but even the restrooms are designed for you the buyer!

I had a very good experience selling my car to Ames Ford Lincoln. David is a very reliable and quick to work with. He helped me get the paperwork done in minutes with a very good deal on the car. I would recommend David and Ames Ford Lincoln as the best dealership I ever have encountered.

Found a used 4x4 truck last Tuesday and enjoyed the test drive at Ames Ford. We were told it was safety inspected and had new tires, shocks and struts. We wrote the check and drove it home that night. After a bouncy bridge experience on the way home, we took it to our mechanic and he found the shocks and struts were not new and were the original equipment from 2008, and needed to be replaced. The mechanic then pointed out a much more serious safety issue with the frame. He could put his finger through the bottom of the frame where it had rotted away near the gas tank and rear tire. Looking closer at the frame in that location it was visible that the side of the frame was no longer connected to the bottom for a large distance. He recommended that I not put any heavy loads in the bed of the truck, and any safety inspection should have flagged something that visible. Not sure if I can attach pics to this review, but I have several showing what my mechanic found. Returned the truck during the 7 day return window and i was told it could take another 10 days for our money to be returned.When discussing whether the frame issue could be fixed, a manager decided there was enough metal remaining and they were not interested in repairs but we could return the truck if we werent comfortable. I would put my trust in my mechanic and not gamble with my familys safety. Imagine if I were to load the truck with firewood and have an issue on the interstate because the truck could not safely transport the advertised available cargo weight.

We had the best time buying a used car from them! So helpful in every way! They made first time car buying beyond easy! I would definitely recommend these guys! The sales consultant; Levi was easy to work with and took great care of us!I couldn’t have asked for a better experience

David Xu (and the entire service team) consistently provide exemplary customer service. Truly across all industries, I do not believe I have experienced more thoughtful or patient customer service. He and his team make having my vehicle serviced a joy - not an easy feat.

Very helpful, gave me quick responses to all the questions that I needed answers to Great customer service. Not to mention the great deal they got me on a very nice vehicle. Most importantly to me that they did not try to upsell me

Absolutely wonderful experience! Had fun with all the people who helped us and walked out happier than we expected! Their finance team exceeded our expectations. Our van is wonderful and perfect for our growing family! 10/10 reccomend

Really great salesman Dave. The financial manager Tim is awesome. Felt very comfortable and that I was treated well and respected. Left with a good feeling. Like the way they have answers for my questions. See you tomorrow

Jack was great; Good salesman and easy to work with.. The Toyota guy in the service dept. was very knowledgeable and helpful in answering all my questions. The finance person was not all that personable, but he was training someone new so maybe that was the deal but he seemed a bit uninterested in the whole process.David was great in purchasing my Jeep, getting the lease paid off and getting me a little extra money. Overall it was a very good experience.

I have worked with David Xu at Ames Ford Lincoln twice now, and he is great! He cares a lot about making sure the customer is always satisfied. He is very caring and always tries to get the customer the best deal.

Enjoyable car buying experience. I came from out of state and they even picked me up at the airport. Good communication, no nonsense. Nice people.

Excellent service, purchased from out of state and the experience was hassel free and quite pleasant! Salesman was thorough, efficient and knowledgeable. Overall, he hit a Grand Slam! Thanks Diego, BOOMER!

Sales staff were great.They showed me courtesy and respect.They were straight up with their pricing.They work hard in these difficult times to find my vehicle. Many thanks to Hans and Levi.

Jack at Ames Ford Lincoln is a blessing! I hate purchasing vehicles (we were purchasing for our daughter), but I can honestly say our experience at Ames Ford Lincoln was the most enjoyable that I have had with a dealership. Jack went above and beyond, was honest and friendly. We will definitely be going back!

Super easy process. I live out of state and found a vehicle they had that I wanted. They delivered the vehicle to me the next day and it was everything it was supposed to be. I couldn’t be happier. Especially after my first online purchase with vroom went horribly wrong. This one restored my faith in buying a vehicle online.

If I could give a 0 star rating, I would. Ive had nothing but problems ever since I started the car buying process here. On the FIRST DAY it began. I got my car, and a day later it wont turn on because the battery is bad. Then they proceeded to tell me that they couldnt get anyone out to my house to recover my car. And thats just 2 (among others) of the problems Ive encountered since I got my car here. I will do everything in my power to make sure nobody I know shops for a car here.

My sales consultant, Chris Spence, was a true professional and a down to earth guy. Chris made the buying experience for my F-150 truck easy and relaxed vs the dreaded back-and-forth negotiations that typically happens at dealerships. Before coming to Ames Ford I had test drove competitor trucks at other dealerships. However, none come close to Ames Ford’s customer focused attention, extremely clean facilities and amazing men’s bathroom—yes, bathroom. They have a pool table in there...you feel like you’re in a bar! Wow! The competitors can learn a lot from Ames Ford’s sales approach and positive attitude. I highly recommend Ames Ford’s without hesitation!!!

Very pleased with our entire experience. The team was flexible as we were closing on a home refinance and met all our needs. Everyone was responsive and provided great customer service.

Thank you to Dave Crowley fo a wonderful experience buying a new car. My first purchase in 16 years. He treated me with respect and honesty. I also want to thank your respectful and kind service department. They have taken good care of me for the last 15 years. I will always recommend Ames FordMar Johnson

I recently purchased a new Mustang at Ames Ford Lincoln. I dealt with Zach he was very easy to deal with. He made me feel comfortable and confident in the purchase of my new car. The dealership was top notch and the process was smooth and fast. Zach sat in the car and walked me through everything on the car. He also showed me how to connect my phone to the car. He was very pleasant to deal with. Thanks to Zach and Ames Ford Lincoln.

Great experience! Carlos was wonderful, no pressure. Thank you for all your help finding my retirement car!

I was very impressed with the customer service at Ames Ford. I was able to walk on the lot, meet with a sales rep, learn about possible cars to buy and take a test drive. And then was provided with all the service history on the car, given a detailed report on the inspection Ames Ford completed on the car. All of this gave me confidence that I was making a wise purchase and a solid financial investment. I purchased the car and drove away with my purchase within one day. Big thank you to Carlos Villegas who is smart and knowledgeable and puts the customer first.

Saw a truck that I was interested in, was able to test drive, sign, and drive in a matter of about an hour….fastest and easiest car purchase I have ever made!! Dave was very helpful and made it all happen smoothly

Worked with me to get me the car that I absolutely LOVE! Salesman was helpful, kind and went out of his way when the car I was interested in wasn’t on the lot! 100 times recommend!

Bought my dream car. Thanks Jack for the great experience and Andrew for making taking her home almost painless!

Bill as our salesman was great! The rest of the experience was the worst I have had in buying a car. I won’t be back!

Levi was easy to work with, held the vehicle I wanted while I made the 2 1/2 hour drive. Great place to buy.

By far the best dealership I’ve ever had the experience of dealing with. They were nice courteous and true to their word. The whole process from A-Z was seamless. I will definitely buy another vehicle from them in the future because the way they treated me!!!

David was very accommodating, helpful and made selling my used vehicle a breeze!

Sold my car to them, and it was very easy with the help of David Xu. Got a good price on my car, and it was very quick too!

Had a great experience selling my extra vehicle to Ames Ford Lincoln. I was using the Kelly Blue Book Cash Offer service. David Xu was quick to act in giving me a call and setting up a visit to look over my car. I was just selling and not trading, but the experience went quick and smooth. David did a great job keeping me informed about the process and I left a happy customer. Definitely recommend giving them a shot.

I won’t name names, but the salesman and sales manager that I attempted to work with were absolutely atrocious. I was looking at a fair vehicle and as soon as I attempted to negotiate anything, they began to laugh, smile, and sarcastically roll their eyes at me as if I was incompetent. I’m not swaying others, however they permanently lost me and my families business. It is well worth the drive to go to Dewey Ford in Ankeny.

Ames Ford was excellent Carlos was honest up front about the sales process. Ames was able to help us buy a new Ranger.

I sold my car to David Xu at Ames Ford and he helped me out from beginning to end! It couldn’t have been easier and the service provided was top notch! He beat offer other places gave and they even offered me a ride home no charge! I would recommend David and Ames Ford to anyone!

Kirk Lemon was great to work with!! He explained all of my options, showed me a variety of vehicles, and helped determine what was within my price range.Tim in finance was also wonderful to work with! They both made the whole process flow so smoothly and effortlessly. I was amazed at how quickly I was able to get in and out. Thanks Kirk and Tim!!

Very great experience, they took their time to see what my goal was and helped me get the greatest deal. Would highly recommend Mr Lemon wonderful men. Thank you!!!!!

Great experience! Kirk Lemon was very professional…..he made the buying process simple and easy!

Ames Ford always gives top notch service! Nick & Shawn are so easy to work with and make the car buying process seamless! Customer service has always been beyond our expectations & we have purchased 5 vehicles from them throughout the years. Won’t go anywhere else! If you’re in the market for a Lincoln, Shawn is your guy!

Had the best experience here. David Xu is really the best you can tell he enjoys what he does and puts a lot of effort into the client . If your looking to sell or buy a car here I definitely think you should request David.

Just purchased a new Explorer from Ames Ford Lincoln. I started looking for a vehicle last fall and knew what I wanted but wasn’t able to find it locally. I contacted AFL and they were able to locate the vehicle with the options I wanted and had it brought in to the dealership. I worked with Bill M and he delivered on what he promised. The entire staff was professional and courteous. A pleasant experience from beginning to end.

The folks at Ames Ford Lincoln were amazing to work with. They take all the stress out of the car buying experience by being upfront, professional and easy to work with. If your looking for a new or used vehicle, i highly recommend you give them a shot, I promise you won’t be sorry.

I recently sold my truck at Ames Ford Lincoln. David Xu was very helpful with this process and helped me get a good price for my truck, I would definitely recommend David to anyone looking to sell their vehicle.

We bought a minivan from Carlos and Tim (finance). We had a great experience and after totalling our van we went back and dealt with Chris and Andrew (finance). They were phenomenal. We went in there not thinking they would be able to do anything with our credit and just getting the van and to our surprise they worked wonders and got us into a vehicle we absolutely love! The team here is amazing! Will definitely be purchasing from these guys for all our future needs!

I just bought my Raptor here, worked with David and Andrew. They are both amazing and easy to work with!8-11-2021

Had the best customer service experience with David XU. And Jack as well. Thank you for helping me with selling my vehicle. They offered me way more then the Chevy dealership. Go here first before looking at others. You will not be disappointed!

Adrian was the best. He was a really cool guy, and he Did everything he could to make sure I was happy. I didn’t feel like I was even talking to a car salesman, more of a friend trying to help me get into a new car. If I were to buy another car, I’d go to him first, and recommend my friends to him as well.

My experience buying and trading my vehicle at Ames Ford was nothing but great! I worked with Chris on the purchase price of the vehicle before arriving so there were no surprises. We quickly came to an agreement on the trade-in value. The process was very quick and appreciated them being respectful of our time but also not rushing us out the door. They helped us setup the new car and ask all of our questions!

We worked with Zach today and I can’t be more pleased. This is the first time I haven’t felt patronized and belittled or made to feel like I’m being screwed over when buying a car. Everything was straightforward, honest, and respectful. Zach was also really fun to chat with and I’ll come back and recommend him to anyone looking for a good experience when buying a car.

We have bought four cars from this dealership and overall completely happy with everyone. Ask for manager Levi.

Service does a good job, but I do have to give a two star rating because their pricing for the exact same task changes from one person to another as if each person charges what they feel is right without following a price list. I called 3 times to finally schedule my appointment:1st Call: $40-502nd Csll: $50-$653rd Call today: $75I did not give a 1 star review because they said they are willing to honor the first call pricing.I do want Ford of Ames to be a great, successful, and consistent with their clients and that’s why I am leaving this feedback for them.

Adrian Hill @ Ames Ford is a no pressure, helpful and adaptable salesperson. If you need help, he is the man. Shoutout to David as well, he is thorough and helpful with pricing trade ins.Thank you!

Kirk was a great guy and made sure we got a car that worked for us. He was knowledgeable and honest about all the vehicles on the lot. It was a great experience overall.

If you are Asian and have to deal with cars regardless of brands in Ames, just ask David Xu. I was inspired by his Asian-friendly service. He sincerely stand for us when I sold my used car. Okay He made me feel that I can be treated as a customer here in Ames for the first time. Thank you.

The absolute best car buying experience I have ever had. Will definitely be going to them in the future. Carlos, Chris and Aubrey are all great sales people. Tim and Andrew in the finance department are able to do impossible things to get financing approved. I cannot say enough good things. 10/10 would buy here exclusively in the future.

Chris Spence did an excellent job. He contacted me right away after requesting on line info. He gave us focused attention throughout the process. We left the dealership the same day with a new ride!Great experience, would highly recommend Chris and the dealership.

Great honest people!! Very accommodating will buy again from them. Sales staff is amazing also very patient people not pushy which means a lot. You can tell that there not just there to sale a car. Thank you Ames Ford for the great service and experienceChris

I purchased a 2015 Ford Fiesta from them two years ago. While they were polite throughout the process, they wouldnt budge at all on the price and low-balled me on my trade-in. It was my first time buying a car from a dealer, and I wont go back there for my next car.On another note, my Fiesta hasnt had any problems since I bought it, so thats a positive. Its over 80,000 miles now. Im not sure they deserve the credit for that, though, since the car came from another Ford Dealership.

Highly recommend!! Right when I got out of my car to come in to this wonderful place there was someone holding the door open for us. The salesman, Chris, was so kind and helpful. He answered all my questions quickly and with knowledgeable answers. The finance manager, Tim, was the best Ive ever encountered with how understanding, helpful and down to earth he is. I am blown away by my experience at Ames Ford Lincoln!! Thank you all so much!!!

Aubrey and their sale manager Tim were amazing to work with! They were not pushy, gave us time to talk things over and were super helpful. Aubrey showed us all the features the vehicles we wanted to look at had and how to use them. Tim was easy to talk to, and made the paperwork process so quick, easy and painless. We are SO glad we made the trip, was by far the best car shopping experience we have ever had!

Jack was GREAT. He answered all my questions, wasnt pushy or condescending, had lots of enthusiasm, and was kind to my son, who had very reluctantly tagged along. I will definitely buy a car from here again, especially if Jack is selling it!

Mark has been great to work with!

I recently sold my vehicle and worked with David Xu. David was fantastic from the start. He followed up appropriately and went above and beyond to get me top dollar for my car (above the Kelly Blue Book Value).Not only would I recommend to sell a car directly to this dealership, but I’d be willing to bet their sales and service team would be equally as great!

David Xu did a great job helping us and making the process of buying our sons truck go smooth. Thank you!

This was the best car buying experience Ive had in a long time. Zach was great to work with, and he really goes above and beyond for his customers. Andrew was also great to work with and very transparent when it came to all pricing. They had me in and out within an hour (including the test drive). Great people at this dealership folks, and the architecture makes it a fun place to just go grab a coffee and walk around. I will be back to this dealership first when Im ready to purchase.

If you are in the market to sell your vehicle, I recommend this location without doubt. I would like to point out that David Xu provided amazing and professional customer service, insights, and professionalism that was second to none. I refuse to purchase cars or sell my cars else where as long as David is there. Thank you Ames Ford Lincoln.

We have bought 2 different cars from them and it was the best car buying experience that my wife and I have received. They will also give you top money for your trade in. David and Chris helped us out. Both went up and beyond what was expected. I would give more stars if I could.

Very professional. Always provided valuable information. I would highly recommend the sales associate, Kirk.

This was my first time buying a car and Jack Clayton did amazing helping me find what I want! After finding a car and having to walk away from it, I came back 3 weeks later and was able to find something that day! Everyone was very helpful and accommodating!

David Xu was super helpful and easy to work with. He made our selling process run smooth and had great communication with us throughout the process!Definitely recommend heading to Ames Ford and asking for David!

We worked with David Xu to sell our car. He contacted us right away, was completely professional, and gave us a stress-free selling. With how this interaction went, we will definitely be reaching out to him in the future when were looking to purchase as well. Couldnt be happier with the overall experience.

Absolutely love Zach! Such a wonderful salesperson! Definitely would recommend seeing him! He has made a customer for life. Maybe more than one!

I had the best experience today with David Xu. He was so helpful, kind, and he made my car selling experience a breeze. I highly recommend him if youre looking to sell a car. And everyone else in every department was amazing! Check them out!

Awesome dealership to work with. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. Extremely efficient. Definitely go to Ames Ford Lincoln for your car needs!

Had a great experience with Ames Ford Lincoln, went in to sell my vehicle, got a good fair offer. Thank you to David Xu for making the process as quick and painless as possible. If youre looking to buy or sell your vehicle I certainly recommend checking here first.

The best car-buying experience Ive ever had. Drove from Kansas City and they had everything ready for me. we were in and out in under an hour.

Zach and Andrew helped me out so much! They were super friendly and helpful in every step of the buying process. If I had any questions they answered in simple and easy to understand explanations. Couldnt be more happy with both my purchase and experience. Would definitely recommend!

Thank you David for the easy selling! Easy, fast and friendly. I am a satisfied customer!

Huge shout out to David Xu and the entire team at Ames Ford Lincoln for making this such an amazing experience. Top car dealership in the midwest. David is the top salesperson providing unequivocally best service in the midwest.

Shawn Johnson did a great job fitting me with my new Ford Bronco. Very knowledgeable on the vehicles and listened very well on what i was looking for to find the right vehicle for me.

Had the best experience thanks to David Xu. Overall a great guy and provided me with the highest quality of service.

The salesman, Zach, was outstanding. Did everything he needed to in order to get us a win-win situation. He was an absolute pleasure to work with and the only reason for our 5 star rating.

Great service. Jack is very personnable and helpful sales person.

Staff was very helpful and patient. Cooperative and knowledgeable. Exceptional customer service. Will be going back when I purchase a truck for sure.

Friendly and helpful staff good place to buy a first car!

Great service for a fair price.

Great experience with Jack. His service is spot on for asking the right questions to help me find what I was looking for. I have an all new look towards staying in state to buy a car.

The best!!!! Jessica Drendel - Service Advisor- is a life saver! My son and I were visiting Iowa State for new student orientation and our Escape broke down in the parking lot as we were finishing up the day to travel back home to Illinois. We called her at the service center for service and a referral for a towing company (also fabulous!) . It was late in the day, she verified they had the parts needed to fix the problem. She prioritized our service the next day and we were on the road home by noon! They also provided a loaner to drive to the local hotel. We couldnt have been happier especially after such a long day!

The service we received at Ames Ford was excellent. 5 stars for Adrian Hill who was knowledgeable, friendly, courteous and helpful. We will recommend this dealership to our family and friends. John and Renae.

Even though I did not buy a car at Ames Ford it was a really good experience working with Don Tweedt, he was easy going and knowledgeable. I never felt that uneasy pressure you get with some sales car people. Thanks again Don, I will recommend you and Ames Ford to family and friends.
