Anthony was a fantastic representative of what Columbine Ford does the best in the valley. He was knowledgeable, attentive, and quite honestly… sold me on the truck. I will be buying another 👍🏼

They were running late and didn’t call me, so wasn’t sure if they were gonna even make it that day, and then they didn’t leave the key in the office The people that hold my key, while I am not there and left it in my gas tank, which is not where I wanted it, or not where they found it, so a little disappointing…

Aaron and Josh are the greatest to work with. Efficient, fair, and honest. We drive from Fruita for all our Ford needs because Western Slope Auto are horrible and greedy to deal with. It's well worth the extra drive time and Columbine Ford gets our highest recommendation.

Anthony was so helpful and Columbine Ford worked with us based on our situation. They allowed us to pay a deposit and hold a brand new car for us! Wouldn’t recommend any other Ford dealership or salesman!

I can’t say enough great things about Anthony over at Columbine Ford! What could have been a stressful and difficult experience was made so much better because of his professionalism, hard work, and great attitude. He and the team went above and beyond to make the process as smooth as possible, all while keeping things fun and making me feel taken care of. Anthony was patient, personable, and genuinely great to work with. It’s not every day you come across someone who can balance professionalism with a sense of humor and make a tough buying experience a little easier. His dedication and willingness to help truly stood out, and I appreciate the effort he put into the entire experience. If you’re looking for someone who works hard, treats you with respect, and makes the process enjoyable even when things get challenging, I highly recommend Anthony at Columbine Ford. He’s a true asset to the team! Thank you, Anthony, for all your hard work and for making a tough experience a positive one!☺️ I’d also like to give a shout-out to the general manager, Evan and sales manager, Thomas for their hard work and commitment throughout the process. Their willingness to be accommodating, helpful, and supportive made the experience much smoother. I truly appreciate everything they did and will definitely be referring others to Columbine Ford.
