What "best" actually means — and who decides it
Any dealer can call itself the best. At Tom's Ford, the people who decide are the ones who don't work here. Our 4.8-star rating comes from 3,521 verified Google reviews written by real customers.

Why people drive past closer dealers to get here
A strong review profile isn't just a number — it changes how far people are willing to travel. A good share of our customers pass a Ford dealer closer to home to buy or service with us instead. Here's what that actually looks like, in their words:
"This dealer is 26 miles away from me… I would drive 100 miles to Tom's if needed. The best Ford dealer I've ever been to."
Service customer · drove past a dealer two miles from home
"We negotiated everything over the phone with a 'no surprises proposal' that didn't change when I arrived. In and out with my new car in under an hour."
Buyer from New York City · DealerRater
"I'm 30 miles away, but my local dealer never took any pride in the work. Tom's always has."
Ford owner · drives in for service
"I've dealt with many car dealerships in my life. Tom's Ford is #1 in my book."
Long-time customer · DealerRater
The pattern is always the same: no pressure, a price that holds, and people who explain the deal instead of hiding it. That's what earns a drive.
What makes Tom's Ford different
We've been on Route 35 in Keyport for three generations, and the mantra hasn't changed: Humanity Comes Standard. In practice that means a few concrete things.
The price is the price. No haggle games, no "call for price." The number you're quoted — on the phone, online, or on the window — is the number you pay.
New and used Fords, backed for life. Most Fords we sell — new and used — include the Tom's Ford Advantage Lifetime Engine Warranty: free, valid as long as you own the vehicle, with no mileage limit, and backed by Zurich. Eligible non-commercial, non-EV vehicles under 85,000 miles and under 15 years old at sale.
Real people, by name. Our team shows up in review after review by first name — because customers come back for a person, not a building.

Our sales desk works deals start-to-finish — including by phone for out-of-area buyers — with the same no-surprises pricing customers call out by name in their reviews.A small-business dealer with a big-tech experience

Live video walkarounds and video test drives let you look over any vehicle in real time — on an iPhone or Android — before you ever drive over.
Service that comes to you
Vehicle pickup and delivery and at-home service mean you don't have to plan your day around the shop.
