Just before (a few days) leaving on our trip, we purchased a 2025 Ford F150 King Ranch and had “technology” questions. Today, we stopped by your Decatur Ford dealership and was greeted by Hailey Tonkin. She went above and beyond to answer our questions, even offering to help beyond the time we were at the dealership! She strikes us as an excellent team member for your business. We really appreciated her help and enjoyed the interaction with her. I realize this message will likely be picked up by a sales staff member, perhaps even Hailey, herself. Please ensure this gets circulated up the management chain. Hailey represented your business superbly! Deb and Wayne Pauly
