Good morning, Mark!

I am besides myself with joy every time I look at my new car (now nicknamed "Silver Queen"). Seeing it yesterday for the first time under the canopy almost took my breath away and this addition to my life has now erased all of the trauma that enveloped me after I had the accident with "Old Red" on May 11th.

The car handles and rides like a dream and I have you and David Duncan to thank for all the efforts you expended in my behalf.  I was so sorry David could not be present when I took delivery of "Silver Queen" because he really went over and beyond the call of duty to find exactly the car I wanted.  We had a long phone conversation about it this morning.  However, I do not want to diminish the role Oscar Morales played yesterday in helping me with the paperwork involved and for going out with me to test drive the car.  He was so very nice to me and went out of his way to make sure I was satisfied.  He also explained quite a few of the "bells and whistles" that came with the car, downloaded the contents of my cell phone into the Sync system, and much more.  And, of course, it was "deja vu all over again" with Lindsay Friedman back at the dealership and handling the leasing paperwork for me.  She's a real treasure!!

It has been drizzling this morning and although I have to go out in a while I am reluctant to do so because I don't want the new car to get wet!!  Silly, isn't it?

I thank you and am so very grateful for taking time out of your busy days to meet with me on more than one occasion and to make sure I was well taken care of, just as you've done in past years.  This time was a little more special and I am pleased with the discounts you provided off the original cost of the car.  Loyalty begets loyalty, I guess!!

My offer to treat you to a lunch still stands and I'd love for you to take advantage of it when you have time.  Thank you again for being such a good guy, and a special one at that!!  Hope to see you again very soon.

Fondly,

Rena Monge

Dear Mark Wheeler,

Hi There! My name is Kelsi Woods and i recently bought a car from your dealership! I just have to say my experience was amazing! I first met with Al Poiencot and he made it so easy for me and answered all my questions and believe me i had a lot of them! He was patient and so helpful! This was my first time EVER buying a car so i didn't know what to expect. Al did all the work for me which was nice! He found the car i wanted and stayed in my price range. I got the car the next day and it spent a total of 2 hrs at the dealership! This was great since i had my 2 year old with me! Everyone was so gracious and patient so i am very thankful for everyone that helped...especially Al! Thank you so much Al and everyone at encinitas ford! I love my car!
 
Thank you-
Kelsi Woods and Clinton Woods

Don/Duke,

This was our first visit for our new Edge purchased at Encinitas Ford. Actually, this is our third vehicle overall purchased from your dealership. 

As is typically the case, upon a first visit of a new car, there are a few things to correct or get guidance on. We had a very short list of items that needed attention. I wanted to report that Duke, Al Poincot, and Mark Wheeler were fantastic at addressing and ensuring our Ford Edge was in tip-top shape. We really appreciate the service, understanding, and family-feel at Encinitas Ford. It is not typical in today's day and age of "mega dealerships" but you have proven time and time again why we come back. 

Please forward this to Duke, Al and Mark and express our appreciation. 

Many thanks!

Dear Mr. Wheeler,

I am writing to compliment your dealership on assisting me with the delivery of my 2013 Mustang GT purchased through the military overseas new car sales program. i have never experienced such a professional and helpful environment at a car dealership until now. This is mainly due to the outstanding service provided by Mr. Jerry Hughes. From start to finish, Mr. Hughes quickly and selflessly took care of all the required paperwork, guided me through the whole delivery process, and even picked me up at the train station to allow the vehicle pick-up go as smooth as possible. If every automobile dealership had employees of the same caliber as Mr. Hughes, the negative stereotypes of the industry would cease to exist. Thank you for running such a top-notch dealership and I look forward to doing business with your establishment and recommending it to others for some time to come.

Thanks again!

Very Respectfully,

I am completely satisfied with my brand new Ford Fiesta and would definitely recommend Encinitas Ford to my family and friends. I love Michael Miller, he is a wonderful salesman, and has helped me from the minute I came there to the entire process of buying a new Ford.

All the other Encinitas Ford employees andn staff were a blessing and delightful to work with and seemed very happy to help me out in any way they can.

If you have any questions or need any other additional information, I can be reached on my cell at ....

Thank you kindly, have a great day!

Dear Frank Sekulic,

Thank you. You made the car purchasing experience as easy as it could be. I'm very happy with the vehicle. Hopefully, I will be back shortly to look at a few Fusions. If you get a CPO one in that you think is a great deal, feel free to shoot me an email.

Dear Oscar,

Thank you so much for the service you and Encinitas Ford (Feris and Lindsay J) provided us, and the kindness you have shown to our family. We love our new car!!! We have named it "Fancy Smudge" (Tommy’s caprice wagon is named "Big Smudge" after a grey kitty we once had). Fancy Smudge is indeed fancy!

I was feeling very anxious about driving my Blazer with ALL my children. With the addition of our 2 new little ones, 3 weeks ago, I had to have a different car. I now have a car that fits 2 carseats safely, and our teens and us comfortably. These past several weeks have been life-changing for our original foursome, and not all of the changes are easy. Thank you for making our purchase one of the easy things. Thank you for making it happen and doable for us!!!

Bless you and your family. Please give our best to Feris and Lindsay, as well.

Tom, Deborah, Sid, Sadie, lil’ Katie and baby Charlie J

Dear Mark Wheeler,

I should have gotten this out much earlier.  Just wanted to drop you a quick note and thank you and your entire staff for an outstanding experience.  I think the fact that we bought two vehicles from Encinitas Ford is a testament to the quality service your team delivers.  As for our representative, David Duncan, I can't say enough about him. This was BY FAR the best experience I've ever had purchasing a vehicle.  He was patient, caring and accommodating and I'm glad I had the pleasure of working with him.

As for our vehicles, what can I say? It's my first American car (now cars) in over 20 years!  Today, I am PROUD to drive a Ford.  My wife is driving the 2010 Explorer which we both absolutely love. Ford has thought of everything with that car.  Honestly, I look around that car and there's not one thing I would change. $5,000 less per year than our Mercedes R350 and. hands down. a better car.  And my Focus... killer!  I can't believe they packed that much into that car.  The technology alone is worth the price.

Thanks again Mark.  Your team (and Ford) ROCK!!

Best,

Tom Burger

Al couldn't have been a better salesman. He was so knowledgable and extremely helpful.

- David S. - May 2011

Mr. Al Poiencot was extremely knowledgeable, helpful, personable and an asset to your company! If you give bonus awards, he is deserving of a large one! Though there was a problem between another salesman and his manage regarding the agreed upon purchase price, it was worked out even though I paid more. For the past 40 years I've been buying cars made in Japan because of their reliability and ratings by Consumer Reports. It took me a long time to decide to go back to American cars and I hope this car will be as good if not better than the cars made in Japan so I can continue buying American. I know other people will also be interested in finding out if I made the right choice. The paperwork was also very tedious and took a long time to go through even though the women helping me was very nice.

Hi Al,

I am indeed thoroughly enjoying my new Focus. I am delighted to have gotten exactly the car I wanted at a great price. You were fantastic! You obviously genuinely appreciate what makes a vehicle work well and helped me to understand how my car works. (For example, every time I stop at a red light and the car becomes quiet I understand what Ford did to make my car more gas efficient.) I can most certainly tell Ford Motor Company that I am COMPLETELY SATISFIED and can DEFINITELY RECOMMEND Encinitas Ford. I also can say that Al Poiencot made my car buying experience the most informative and pleasant of my entire life. (And I have been around a while.)

Thank you, Al.

Hi Al,

Thank you and Encinitas Ford for making car buying so smooth and enjoyable. We especially appreciate how everyone was very friendly and let us go at our own comfortable pace. That attaches really positive memories to our new car. Every time we drive it we discover more things we like. We Love, Love, LOVE Our Ford Escape!  We also love Encinitas Ford.

Oscar (our salesman), was absolutely fantastic. He showed and treated my husband and I with the greatest respect and worked to ensure our deal was seamless. We initially went to another Ford dealership in the San Diego area with the intent to lease a new 2011 Explorer only to be mistreated and left with an overall bad taste for the dealership. We remained undetered and went down the street to our local dealership (Encinitas Ford) and were immeadiatly treated as family. We eventually had to orderour Explorer due to limited production runs and inventory availability at the time. We were told the order process would take up to 12 weeks. We went ahead with the order and it was pleasant. We were pleased to be informed that our Explorer was available three weeks early. Upon our arrival to the dealership we sat down with Oscar and worked to the previously agreed to terms and conditions of our lease. Oscar went out of his way to streamline the paperwork and walked us through all the features of our new vehicle. On a personal observation, we are so happy with the SYNC/Navigation system that Ford has incorporated, I believe it is a "home run" as far as conveinences in our new Explorer. Thank you.

Oscar,

Thank you for making our car buying experience the most pleasureable and satisfying we've ever had!

Our custom ordered F-150 Platinum came in earlier than expected and had the exact features we ordered for exact price quoted.

You, and the entire Encinitas Ford team have earned a couple of new long term customers.

Dear Mr. Wheeler,

I want to express my gratitude to you and your wonderful service department and particularly Jeff Glover. Jeff has always gone that extra mile every time I have been at Encinitas Ford to ensure that I am satisfied with my experience. Every visit to your fine dealership Jeff always makes sure that every aspect of my customer experience meets or exceeds my expectations and that the work done to my vehicle is always performed to my satisfaction.

I just wanted you to know that I understand that when it comes to customer service it's always easy to complain when things don't go as expected and that many times we get too busy to take the time to express our gratitude. However, Jeff and your team's commitment to excellence needs to be recognized.

Also, feel free to share this letter with any customer or prospective customers. I am also happy to speak to anyone to express my gratitude and to let them know that your team will deliver after the sale.

I was very well taken care of by the sales team at Encinitas Ford. Michael Miller and JayDee Forzano, especially went above and beyond the call of duty. They were both very caring.

Dear Michael Miller,

I went to Encinitas Ford to get my daughter a car and instead ended up buying my wife one. Michael was very knowledgable in car sales. He explained and showed us everything. He was not a high pressured saleman and was very helpful. He was excellent. He is actually more than just a salesman he is a personal referece guy to solving your transportation problems. I was very impressed. Everyone worked hard to get us a good deal. JayDee in Finance went out of her way to help us. I have bought many different cars in my time and I never had such excellent treatment anywhere else, like I did at Encinitas Ford.

Dear Kevin Burns and William Hern,

I just purchased a 1998 Lexus LS400 and I love the car. I wasn't really expecting to buy the car that day, but now I am glad that I did. The car is totally growing on me now. The guys that helped me were excellent. Especially, Kevin Burn. He is a good salesman. He did everything he could to get me into this car without being too pushy. He was wonderful. I have even started referring people to him.

Thanks again,

Dear Service Department,

To the Service Department from out of state customer. I recently had a 2008 Escape Hybrid that I was buying inspected by your service department. During the inspection they found the battery fan had been throwing error codes. The service adviser Jeff told me that it was covered by warranty but the part would be on back order. I told him I was driving on Saturday to pickup the vehicle. The parts department rushed the order and service department completed the work on time -- I picked up the vehicle on Saturday. Over one thousand miles and 31 hours later I was home. The vehicle ran like a champ. Very satisfied customer. Encinitas Ford parts - and - service departments highly recommended. l

Thanks,

I would DEFINATELY refer my family and friends to Encinitas Ford. I would like to comment that my experience in purchasing a used vehicle from Encinitas Ford has been enjoyable, to say the least. Everyone I dealt with has gone above and beyond to make this a very painless process. I felt that I was treated fairly and with the respect that one should when buying a car. I have been to other dealerships and felt pressured and hassled to make a deal.  Specifically Michael and JayDee have been very easy to work with and had pleasant demeanors. I will DEFINATLEY refer my family and friends to you all!!

Thanks Again, Robert Folia

Please Post on Your Website! I have purchased three cars from this dealership. Michael Miller is the ABSOLUTE BEST salesman I have ever dealt with. I purchased a 2010 Edge from him. It was the most pleasant and best experience I have ever had with a car dealership. Michael Miller made our transaction so smooth and easy and the Director of Sales, Scott Cook, directed everything perfectly. I would reccomend to anyone that is looking for a car to come see Michael Miller.
