I was born and raised in Etobicoke, Ontario and I am a graduate of the University of Western Ontario. I also have a post-graduate degree equivalency from the Insurance Institute of Canada and I am a former successful commercial general insurance broker and brokerage owner. This is a "second career" for me and I find it very satisfying to serve my current and future customers by providing a very enjoyable and stress-free vehicle purchase experience.

I purchased my first Ford from this dealership, I previously have purchased a Honda Civic and 2 Nissan vehicles (a Juke and a Sentra). It was a good shopping experience overall. They did not pressure previously have purchased a Honda Civic and 2 Nissan vehicles (a Juke and a Sentra). It was a good shopping experience overall. They did not pressure me during the process at all, and this was great, as I do not like pressure tactics. Claudia who dealt with my finance was amazing and never changed through the order and the purchase/delivery. I will say I dealt with multiple sales persons in the purchase of my 2025 Ford Maverick which I had ordered since trying to find one with the exact things I wanted was impossible. I will say this process could have been better as it was an ordered vehicle (ordered June 27th, 2025; delivered October 30th, 2025), as some sales people I dealt with no longer work at the dealership and I was not notified of any change, and I felt like I fell through the cracks of the process of the order due to these changes. The sales persons I first started was Paul Rice, who was off the day I came into the dealership, then dealt with Mark M. for the ordering process. It was this time period where I feel like I fell through the cracks, as when I emailed Mark, and first got replies with when to ask again, then I never got an answer at the prearranged time, and went into the dealership, and found out Mark no longer worked there. It was during this part I felt like I fell through the cracks. After that, it took about a week to get things straight, and was the only time I could be critical. More

As soon as I was off the lot, I ceased to matter. When a problem arose, they wanted nothing to do with me. Slow response, then when it did it was insultingly unhelpful.

I sometimes flirt with the idea of buying from another brand, but the entire experience of working with this dealership and the people there keeps bringing me back time and again. Thanks for always making brand, but the entire experience of working with this dealership and the people there keeps bringing me back time and again. Thanks for always making the entire exercise easy-peasy. I love my truck!! More

I had a fantastic experience buying my new Ford Explorer ST, thanks to Dave. From start to finish, he was professional, friendly, and genuinely knowledgeable about the vehicle. He took the time to answer al ST, thanks to Dave. From start to finish, he was professional, friendly, and genuinely knowledgeable about the vehicle. He took the time to answer all my questions and made sure I was comfortable with every step of the process. What I really appreciated was how low-pressure he was—he focused on helping me find the right vehicle for my needs, rather than just pushing a sale. His attention to detail and customer service made the whole experience enjoyable. I’d highly recommend Dave to anyone looking for a new car. Thanks again for making my purchase so smooth and stress-free! More
