Buy a New or Used Car from a Dealership That Puts You First

When it comes to buying a new or used car, it takes more than having access to a dealership that has a large inventory. You want access to inventories that are diverse and varied in models, price, and body styles. It's the only way to ensure that you're making the most informed buying decision. That's where McGrath Ford can help! We have the most diverse inventory you will ever find near Cedar Rapids. We've assembled a wide range of new Ford models from a lineup that is impressive as usual by the manufacturer. And our used car inventory has models that are not only popular and diverse but also affordable. How can we help you?

Customer Service Commitment

Nowadays, with some establishments, it seems as though customer service has taken a back seat for ensuring that expectations are met. That is something you will never find at McGrath Ford. Our sales professionals are highly committed to making sure you're not only satisfied with your experience but also go further by providing you with as much information as needed to make the best decision. Buying a new or used car around Hiawatha is an investment. As such, you deserve to have professionals who have the skill and knowledge to provide enriching details about financing. Plus, our dealership offers factory-certified service and genuine OEM parts to keep your ride running like new.

Our Values

These words represent what we stand for and they reflect what we consider to be important to our business, our employees, and our customers!

Do the Right Thing

Having an honest approach to the job is a primary feature of this value. It is also important that employees always show the best of intentions and integrity. Most importantly, being fair-not only with customers-but with each of their interactions to ensure a happy workplace.

Be Humbly Confident

This value is best represented by implementing a "Team First" mentality; always working toward the common goal of the group. It is also important that team members show extreme ownership over their tasks and are always in a space to be coachable-working toward the benefit of the whole while being at their best when their best is needed.

Relentless Pursuit of Growth

Team members who demonstrate this core value will be hungry to make a positive difference in people's lives while also remaining focused on a commitment to their own personal development and striving to grow personally and professionally. Also, this core value is typified by a "no excuses" creed with a comfortability in being uncomfortable.

Have Fun

Life is too short to not like what you do! Having fun is about enjoying the journey! You should also have a contagious energy and positive attitude-greeting each new day as an opportunity to be that little ray of sunshine.
