Loving my new Bronco, Craig Holsman is the best! I cant thank him enough for all his help. We ordered our Raptor from him when he was in Naperville and because he made it so easy for us we followed him to Oswego to order our Bronco :) I want to thank him and everyone at River View Ford for making this a great experience for us.
I recently leased a new Edge from River View Ford and I couldn’t be happier with my SUV or the dealership. There’s not a lot of new cars out there right now yet I was so able to find exactly what I wanted. Craig the Internet Sales Manager made the process so easy for me, answered lots of questions before I even stepped into the dealership. Saved me a lot of time and hassle. Overall great dealership with a full crew of very helpful people who took the time to introduce themselves and make my car buying process an enjoyable experience.
I recently purchased a car from River View Ford and I can honestly say its the first time Ive ever bought a car where the process was truly pleasurable. This dealer has an incredible customer experience and the highest levels of integrity. Definitely not the norm for a car dealer in my experience. I can not recommend them highly enough. I will be buying more cars from them and would encourage everyone to do the same. Really impressive!!!!
Astounding service! Driving over and hour to pick up my vehicle and return it. Not only did they fix the problem but washed the car inside and out. Thank you so much. No place like this!
Jim Rodda and his staff are so responsive and professional. Excellent at diagnosing problems with the car and repairing issues timely. I’ve never had a problem here. In fact, it’s always been a pleasurable experience dealing with the service department and that’s not common at all in any auto dealer. I will drive past 4-5 different Ford dealers to go here because of the experience and trust I have in them. Truly exceptional.
Craig H. is very responsive, helpful and direct. Just call and talk to him.
Sold my 2015 Ford Mustang GT Premium. Great experience, Excellent staff, friendly and a very good customer service . The sales process was quick, smooth and fair. I highly recommend River View Ford, Inc anyone looking to buy/sell a new car. Thanks Tom and Corey for great experience through out the process. Although miss my beast mustang.
Overall, we noticed several pros and cons of working with this dealer. We drove 5 hours one way to look at and purchase a 2015 diesel truck. Upon arrival, the people were very friendly and had even been willing to hold the truck for one day while we made the drive without charging any extra fees. When we first got into the truck to test drive it, the fuel light was on and said we had less than 15 miles to E. We asked a salesman about it and if it could be filled so we could have plenty of time to test drive the vehicle but they acted like it was no big deal and told us to go ahead and drive it without fueling it. We then test drove it for about 5 miles then decided to purchase the truck. Overall, the salesman and personnel were extremely friendly and helpful. As part of the deal, we asked our salesman if they would fuel the truck first since it had only 10 miles to E. He told us yes and that it wouldn’t be a problem, however, in the end, they decided to change their mind and left us scrambling to find fuel in an unknown city. We managed to finally find a gas station with only 3 miles to E. We weren’t impressed with this situation because for one, we could have easily been stranded five hours away from home and two, it puts unnecessary strain on the truck to run the fuel levels that low. We managed to drive the truck back home without any issues and were very satisfied with the features and the ride. We arrived home, however, and then noticed a check engine light had come on. We checked the code and found it was related to the emissions system in the truck it also limited us to only driving 50 mph for 50 miles. We couldn’t enjoy our new truck the remainder of the weekend due to this and had to wait until Monday to speak to the dealer. We called and they seemed to be somewhat willing to help us out but they wouldn’t give us a 100% sure answer as to whether or not they’d cover the repairs 100% as they should have considering we had only had the truck for less than 24 hours and already couldn’t drive it. They basically gave us the run around and asked for a diagnosis of the problem but still wouldn’t tell us if they’d even cover the cost of the diagnosis. Overall, the truck is a beautiful truck and the dealership has very friendly personnel but they don’t necessarily stick to their word. We were impressed for the most part but did run into a few issues overall.
Great service people. They tried to figure out the issue and fixed it. A different Ford dealer (in Carol Stream) claimed the issue I was having was “normal”. The quick lube is a great idea. Front desk guys were very friendly and pleasant to work with.
I am so appreciative of the kindness of River View Ford who have provided a donation of children’s disposable masks to local elementary schools. Thank you River View Ford for helping Oswego students and thinking of your community!
Absolutely the best car-buying decision I ever made! From my initial sales experience and through the years of providing excellent service to both vehicles I purchased from them, River View Ford has bent over backwards for me and my family at EVERY opportunity. The pricing, both for my purchases as well as for any service Ive needed along the way, has always been fair. The staff there, from top to bottom, is simply awesome. I wouldnt go anywhere else!!!
Thanks for doing work timely manner and picking up and dropping back to us great service and cost!!!
Really great job. Everyone I’ve interacted with has been really awesome. Specifically Craig has won over my business. Super responsive, and quick to get me all the info needed. I really appreciate his customer service, and drive to get the process completed. Thank you so much!!
This dealership is amazing! Theyre always there to assistance and good great advice. The service department always gets me in and out in a timely manner. The sales team is super friendly and easy going. Ive been dealing with Jack the GM for the past 10 years and I great experience evertime. This is the best ford dealership in illinois hands down!!!
The buying experience was good however looking forward to continued support on various requirements in coming months.
Great service, great prices, awesome staff, and very help fu personal
Ive been patronizing this dealership for 12 years. I like their service and theyre very personable with their customers.
This is the 4th vehicle I bought from River View, nothing but an excellent experience every single time. Jack Daniels and his entire team are fantastic and a pleasure to do business with. I moved recently and didn’t mind traveling to make sure I bought from River View once again, I don’t think I’ll buy from anyone else. Everyone is such a pleasure to talk and deal with, very courteous, I actually look forward to walking into the showroom knowing that I’ll be treated like one of the family. Thanks again to everyone at River View and I know I’ll be seeing you again for the next one!
River View Ford is the best for great customer service! Super nice employees
Had to get oil change and door fixed and everyone was great! Thanks for all of your help!
Best service around, thank you Steve Mistina and Jack Daniels for all your help in buying my 9th car from Riverview ford.The staff at Riverview are always helpful!
This is about the service center, not the sales side. I called a few Ford dealers and chose this one. I’m new to the area and just came in from Utah. I chose them after calling a few and looking at reviews.I had a few issues which weren’t my favorite, but I was very impressed with the callback I got after leaving my first review. The service manager called me back, was extremely professional and listened to what I said. Listening is something that is rare these days. Even though my first experience wasn’t awesome, I realize that there are one off mistakes that occasionally happen. After his call I would go back.
I was forced to find a new dealer, after the one in my backyard ignored me for not falling for their 1990s sales tactics. Craig Holsman and everyone else we interacted with, treated us with respect and were honest. I will recommend my friends and neighbors shopping for a new Ford to shop at River View. Love my new Ranger!
If you want to know what it is like buying a car from family, try River View Ford. This family centered business treats everyone like a relative. They will go above and beyond to meet your criteria, and accommodate all of your needs. You will love your experience and and no doubt find the perfect automobile. You will not leave disappointed.
Fast, easy good rate. Oil change and tire rotation
A poorly ran service station led to them losing our business account of 4 vehicles because they decided to hold one of our vehicles over a 5 week old invoice I hadnt received. We will never come back here
Jesse Cepeda & his staff are friendly, efficient, professional & honest. Going to River View QuickLane has made car maintenance & Ford service completely pain free for me.
This isnt my closest Ford dealership but I go here for the service and friendly staff. Keep up the great work River View Ford!
They were very nice and took the time to do a good job and not just get it out asap.
I recently purchased a vehicle from Riverview Ford for the second time and my buying experience was even better than the first. Not only was the vehicle delivered to my house, I was also able to test drive it for a couple days. All of my questions were answered immediately and any concerns I had were addressed and taken care of. They again drove out to my house to meet me with all the paperwork and minutes later I am a proud owner of a Ford Explorer XLT. This by far was the easiest vehicle purchase I have ever experienced. Very little time involved and extremely convenient. Thank you John, Pattie, and the RiverView Ford team!Adding to this review…. Once again the RiverView Ford team has amazed me with their customer service! I was extremely happy with my purchase of an explorer, but I wasn’t able to tow a lot of weight. When I brought this up to Riverview Ford they were able to accommodate me by swapping out vehicles 2 months later. Couldn’t believe it and now I’m am a proud owner of an Expedition that can comfortably tow all of my toys with my family of 5! Thank you John and Pattie again for everything!
Nice people. Knowledgeable.
Working with Jack Daniel and the River View team made my car buying experience seamless and quick. Jack was more than willing to help answer our every question honestly and truthfully in a non pushy/salesy way. I would 100% recommend River View Ford. 10/10. Thank you River View!!
Hands down the best car buying experience Ive ever had!
Riverview Ford has excellent service. My repairs were done quickly and the service manager and staff were great.
If you are looking for a dealership with amazing customer service look no further! John Hennessy, Jack Daniel, Abraham and more helped me look into ALL my options in purchasing my first car. I am fresh out of graduate school and they helped me not only pick a car that was equip with all my wants and needs but also in my price range. One great example of their customer service was reflected when one of the cars I was interested in did not have Apple CarPlay. They knew this was a feature I wanted so they called multiple tech stores and got information on where I could get it installed if I wanted. They are one in a million and made the whole process of purchasing my first car very enjoyable!
What a pleasure it was to work with Jack and Patty! Drove all the way out from the city to buy from River View. They came out and greeted me when I arrived, had the car we had discussed cleaned up and ready for a test drive. An hour later I was out the door with the keys in my hand! Couldn’t have been an easier or more transparent experience. I even had to go to the bank nearby and when I told the teller I was working with Jack, the teller immediately smiled and told me how they enjoy working with the River View Ford team, too. Their reputation is great within their community. The last car I purchased was 7 years ago and even though I don’t intend to buy another soon, I look forward to coming back here. Thank you for all the help.
Riverview Ford makes buying a car a pleasure. Tom helped me through the process of choosing what fit my needs and the options I needed without the typical pressure you feel from most dealers. Highly recommended.
River View Ford has an exceptional service department. They provide excellent service at fair price. More importantly, you can trust them.
Great experience at River View Ford . i had new tires installed on my Ford Escape and very happy with their service and pricing on new tires. Also $60.00 rebate which service person was kind enough to complete online for me.
I am from out of town and went to Hennessy’s River View Ford to have my navigation system fixed. My phone no longer connected with the Apple Play on my truck. They were very busy at Ford but managed to squeeze me in. They were able to fix my navigation system! Everyone was very kind and went out of their way to help me. I would highly recommend you come here if you have any needs for your Ford vehicle.
👍Great team, fair prices helps you through the whole process.
I have not yet purchased a car here but I always get my car serviced here. Everyone is always extremely kind and accommodating. The shop is honest, too! I had an idea of what needed fixing and that is exactly what they told me needed to be fixed. River View Ford is great!
Both the service dept and the Sales dept are awesome Ive bought 3 cars here and always leave satisfied that they have looked at the best scenario for my financial situation to put me in a vehicle. Also the Service dept is great Jesse is the Man!!! He always is direct and honest, I never go anywhere even for an oil change if something is wrong they will tell you not hide it till your warranty is up like I have found in past dealerships
Highly recommend river view Ford. I have been buying vehicles from them personally and for business for many years now. Always a great experience. John and his team are amazing!!
It was a pleasure working with Craig Holsman, Pattie Coldwate and Gary Leathers. Once of the best car buying experiences I have ever had!I reached out via technology regarding a brand new Explorer, and Craig and I did the majority of the deal over email, text and phone.When we arrived at the dealership, Pattie met us at the door, and welcomed us in. The Explorer we had been discussing was cleaned up and sitting indoors for viewing.Craig was very professional, straight forward, transparent with all the numbers. Everything was as we had discussed previously!We took care of the paperwork, and two hours later, we were out the door in our new car!Thank you team!
Another car purchase, another great experience. This is my third car I bought from River View in the last three years and it’s for a reason. They treat you with respect. And that’s what you ultimately want from a dealer. I live in Northwest Indiana and there’s probably a dozen Ford dealers that are closer. But none that I’d want to go to more than River View. If you give them a try, you won’t regret it!edit: I had the truck in for its first service and, once again, everyone I interacted with was pleasant, responsive, helpful, polite. I am very impressed. Its not surprising that they have so many 5 star reviews. Keep up the good work guys and gals!
Greatest car buying experience in 45 years! Craig Holsman was the best, just outstanding! Straight forward, professional, responsive, and customer service oriented! We flew to MDW, where we were picked up by Denny and promptly taken to River View Ford, with some great conversation on the drive. There, Craig, Rich, and the staff made us feel at home and the paperwork was completed in a timely fashion! We then made our road trip home... some 1,300 miles... couldnt be happier! River View Ford exceeded our expectations! See you next time we buy a vehicle!!!
Love having my Ford serviced here. Always prompt and great care. Thank you Hennessy Riverview Ford!
Pros: Very easy to do business with. I researched vehicle online. Cons: My purchase wasnt a Ford, so the sales person wasnt as knowledgeable about questions that I had about some of the features. Also, the vehicle wasnt very clean, the steering wheel was sticky and the dash was dirty, but it was vacuumed. Its a used car but new for me. I had to take it to get detailed in order to have that full experience of having a new car.
Great staff!!! Got the exact Bronco Sport we wanted!
I had the pleasure of working with John Hennssey and Abraham. They took good care of me and understood my needs. Within a day they found the exact F-150 that I was looking. The next day, they picked up the truck, inspected the vehicle and had everything ready for me. John kept me updated throughout the entire process. They provided a far better experience than any other dealership that I had been too. I am beyond satisfied to have purchased my truck from River View. You have a customer for life!
Very professional, caring, and honest. No gimmicks or hidden numbers; everything was exactly what they said and what I agreed to. I highly recommend the dealership especially Craig Holsman, my sales representative.
Gotta say that of all the many car dealers Ive been to over the years, this is the ONLY one where I didnt feel like I was being taken advantage of. This isnt a huge dealership, family owned apparently, clean and well kept, but not sterile. The polar opposite of the usual dealer experience of chum jumping into a pool full of sharks. Richard treated me excellent, just straightforward, professional but casual. He responded to my online inquiry promptly, then had me come in to test drive the car I was interested in. I sat down after the test drive, told Richard what I was trying to accomplish and he made it happen. So smooth and quick, I didnt spend the usual several grueling hours being hustled by 3 or more people. It was simply Richard, then the finance person to do the paperwork. Old school, simple. No pressure. All questions answered frankly and honestly. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! Im now driving an awesome car at a great price with a full factory warranty.
Words can not express my appreciation for Hennessey Ford and the assistance I received. From start to finish, I truly believe this was the highest level of service out there. John and his team were incredibly helpful, insightful, trustworthy, and helped me to get exactly what I was looking for and with complete ease. I would highly encourage everyone to utilize this team for any of their vehicle purchases, inquiries or needs. Top notch!
Such a great dealer!! Tom & John are stand up guys which is hard to come by in this industry. They make you feel like family!! 10/10 will be buying all of my future cars here!! Thanks again for the great service River View Ford!!
Riverview Ford worked extremely hard to ensure I received the vehicle that was right for me. This included several extended test drives with multiple vehicles. Tom in sales was very sensitive to my health issues ultimately affecting my final selection. Could not be more satisfied with the Ford Escape. I recently brought my new vehicle in for routine oil change service. Quick lane was completed within the hour and the service writer explained all elements inspected. Very pleased I traveled the extra distance to make Riverview Ford my preferred dealer.
There service is wonderful, respectfully great customer sevice
Solid service department, courteous people, fair prices. Just wish they had a better waiting area.
My father has happily purchased 3 cars with Cory through River view. This was personally my first purchase from River View and my first brand new car purchase, the whole online buying experience with Rich was quick, painless and pressureless. I gave them a payment I would be comfortable with and they where able to make it happen, exactly as I wanted, they gave me more than anticipated for my trade. Even their online trader offer was minimum $1,500 higher than the other Ford dealers closer to my house. Gary the financial man, explained all my warranty and add on options clearly and with no added pressure to buy anything.I wish all dealers conducted business like this it is definitely a friendly family atmosphere.
If your looking for great service and integrity then look no further, Hennessy River View Ford is place to purchase a vehicle or have service done right. I’ve known Tom Julian jr, Jack Daniels jr and Mr. Hennessy for 20 plus years and these men are all stand up guys. Aldo was our sale specialist on a recent new purchase and I highly recommend him for great knowledge and professionalism. 👍👍
**UPDATE** Just bought my 4th car here. Sales and service is second to none. I pass multiple other Ford dealers to come here and will continue to do.Previous experience: Had my C-Max in and service was backed up for at least a week. Ford covered a loaner for 13 days while the car was fixed under warranty without no issue. They also did a full check up and were not pushy about any other repairs. Overall, their service is fantastic. I will definitely go back.
Top notch! Quality over quantity here! Modern enough facility great employees they seem more relaxed and not “quick sale” type of experience like every other dealership. Keep it up!
Great customer service
Polite and convenient. Very organized. Good car for a good price.
Pattie and everyone there was so helpful. They were very transparent with us throughout the whole process with our trade-in and buying experience. We are very glad to be back into a Ford vehicle.
I bought a new car from John and his team and can honestly say it was hands down the best car buying experience I’ve ever had. I would happily drive out of my way to see them for any need I have. From John who spent a ton of his time explaining details to me, and helping me get a good deal, and Corey who gave me his cell phone number for any questions on the technology and even helped me the next day with my questions, and Jack who unloaded my old car (sorry again Jack) and made me feel reassured with my choice. Honestly they are all phenomenal and I will come here for every future vehicle.
I have bought a lot of cars in my life and this was one of the better experiences. No high pressure sales tactics. They really worked with me on my trade in and the car price to get me to numbers that I was happy with. My salesperson Rich V. was very friendly and got all of my concerns/questions addressed. I will definitely consider them when I am ready to purchase my next vehicle.
Great service and friendly staff. Everyone worked hard to get my car fixed and back on the road in a timely manner.
I would like to Thank Aldo for being such a great sales rep. He is the best! I bought my car a few years ago and its still looking fabulous!! Thank you Aldo!!!
I have been taking my vehicles to River View Ford for service for years, and I can’t imagine taking them anywhere else. The service team is always friendly and get done what I need. Keep up the great work!
I was very pleased with River View Ford. Jack Daniels is an amazing sales representative for your company. This is the second Ford Explorer I have purchased from him. I am 5 hours from the dealership!
Great car buying experience. Rich Voight was easy to work with and listened to me as the customer. My wife loves her new Explorer. Will definitely continue on with River View Ford! Thanks again!
Hopefully buying an f150 raptor tomorrow. So far so good. Nice people
My family introduced me to Riverview Ford a few years ago. They helped me buy my first car from them.Since then they have been nothing short of amazing! It’s such a great peace of mind to have a car dealership as trustworthy as Riverview Ford! Consistency and hospitality is what they take pride in!Thank you Riverview Ford!
The employees and owner at River View were amazing. I traveled 45 miles to work with this crew and it was well worth it. No pressure. No gimmicks. Go Ford. Go River View. Thanks guys.
Do not let them service your vehicle here. They have a terrible reputation. We paid $1300 for them to check everything on the car and fix anything they found. We asked them three times if they are sure they checked everything. Literally THE NEXT DAY after we got the car back the check engine light came on.We notified them and they said they would fix it for free and its not a big deal. Well they just called us saying they are charging us $550 for parts and labor. Biggest joke of a company, do not buy Ford.
The last car I purchased was from a shoddy dealership who didnt care about my safety, my situation, or my feelings. When you purchase a car, you should love it and feel proud to own it.When I went to River View Ford, I had no idea what to expect. I was hesitant to trust the salespeople, only because of my prior experience with other dealerships. What I received was an email asking how they could earn my business. What came next, was a team of people who did everything they could to get me into a brand new vehicle, that brought great peace of mind, and safety. They actually cared about me as an individual.As a teacher, we really expect to give all we have to our students, and get nothing in return. These guys made me feel like all the time I put into my students is worth being rewarded. I cant speak enough good things about them, and my car which is AMAZING! I will send anyone to this dealership.
The Quick Lane and Service Department staff at River View Ford returned me to a loyal Ford customer! I was seriously questioning my loyalty to Ford because of repeated horrible customer service at a dealer only 5 minutes from my home. I will continue to drive 45 minutes to service or even seek to purchase new vehicles at River View Ford as long as they continue to treat their customers with the same kindness and respect I received this week. KUDOS!
I had as well as always have a pleasant experience with the Ford service.Very hospitable and courteous.My next vehicle will come from their lot for sure.Very happy
I just purchased a 2020 Ranger XLT. This is the third vehicle I have purchased from River View and I now live 6 hours away in Northern Wisconsin. You may wonder why. I am 70 years old and I have bought a lot of cars and never - I mean never - have I had a better experience. Manager Jack Daniels and owner John Hennessy provide excellent and personal service to make sure you are 100% satisfied. And dont think this service comes at a price. River Views price for my Ranger was well below its online cost. Summing up I can only say superior! Thank you Jack, John, and the entire River View team, you guys are incredible.
Currie Motors of Valparaiso quoted us a monthly payment more than $850. on 2020 Hybrid Escape. We decided to take the two hour drive to River View Ford. That decision saved us $400. EVERY month!!! Excellent customer service and selection. Thanks Tom for your dedication.
Great dealership to work with, warranty with a used vehicle. Highly recommend.
Very very nice salesman, I will return.
My mom was treated like royalty and got the car of her dreams. It was easy, smooth and fun. Unlike any car buying experience we’ve ever experienced. So many amazing people, including the owner who we had the privilege of working with. I would highly recommend this dealership to anyone. I look forward to me and my family doing business for life at River View.
Very courteous experience with the staff at this dealership. I hate the car buying experience. The sales process went very smoothly. They listened and worked with me to get to a reasonable negotiated price. Very honest and upfront. The car was delivered filled and clean. The sales rep went through all the details on the car before I took possession of the vehicle. A very positive experience!
Exceptional Dealership! Jack & Julian Made The Purchase Of My Transit Quick, & I Was Treated With Nothing But Respect From My Initial Phone Call To Driving Off The Lot. Financing Was Easy & Painless.
Really good experience purchasing a pre-owned vehicle here.
They’re kind folks who truly want to do right by their customers. I am grateful I purchase my vehicle from them.
I recently purchased a new, 2019 Ford Explorer Sport from River View Ford. I used the Costco car buying program and was referred to two Ford dealers in the Chicagoland area. I contacted River View Ford first and explained what I was looking for, down to the color and the options. The person I was referred to was cordial and said he would do a search to see what was available. Within 24 hours he had found the Explorer in the desired color and with the desired options. The Costco buying program price was very good and saved me substantial dollars over the lowest price, offered by my local Ford Dealer. I would happily purchase a new vehicle from River View Ford again!
I go yrly for a spring check up and find the experience welcoming, courteous, and easy for me. Every thing is explained in my language if needed. My husband changed from another garage for service because of conveniance and was very satisfied also.
Standard brake job on a Toyota. Called in advance; they dont take appointments. Was told to bring it in. Brought it in, after inspection, was told that the brake job would be finished by days end. They disassembled the vehicle and only then told us they didnt have the parts and wed have to pick up the car the next business day. They ended up keeping the vehicle for TWO DAYS, leaving me without one and having to rely on others to get me around. They offered no remedy whatsoever. No per diem for the loss of use. No partial refund. Scarcely an apology. I will NEVER go back, and I would suggest that you save your money, time, and frustration and not go here either.
I have been a customer for many years and the team at River View Ford continues to do a great job, especially in the Service Department. They keep my 2017 F-150 in top running order and any discovered problem has been dealt with quickly and fairly. There arent too many businesses that I would give five start, but this is one of them.
Great job always perfect great value for the money, I love pull in and out SEPARATE from the main garage.See u next time.
I cannot say enough amazing things about Riverview Ford! This is not your typical dealership. Everyone here goes out of their way to provide you with incredible service. We have purchased 6 cars in 8 years from Riverview, and each time they gave us a fantastic deal, and have treated us like family. This place is full of really good and knowledgeable people. I truly can not recommend Riverview Ford enough!
First time here. Service is great and finished within quoted time. The waiting area is kind of small, specially given the current pandemic situation. but not a big deal. will return.
Sales man Craig and Abe were great
Quick service and nice attendant.
Bought a car in April from here. Tom the sales manager has been phenomenal. From making the purchase. To fixing an issue I had with the vehicle. Hard to find honest people at car dealerships. But at river view. They stand by their word and go above and beyond to take care of their customers. I will recommend anyone to this dealership
