always excellent service when I go there. For many years I have been working with Gus, Josh, Rickie and Rob. and Trish is always awesome when I need a loaner car. Im working with Fred to buy a new Ford because everything was always great. Fred was the only car salesperson that I truly like dealing with.

On 5/18/26 I put a $500 deposit on a new 2026 Ford F150 XLT with the Black Appearance Package Plus at Empire Ford of Huntington. The black package is a chrome delete option you pay extra for. Black 20" wheels, painted body color bumpers and black badging. The salesman, Fred Marotti, showed me the truck. It was parked under a tree at there service department back lot. The truck was filthy. He promised the truck would be spotless at delivery. I told him I wanted no dealership badging on my truck other than a license plate frame. On 5/29/26 my wife and I went to pick the truck up. We went out to see the truck. Both side panels on the box had scratches from the tree branches where the truck was stored. The driver's door had two chips in the paint on the edge. The front bumper was scratched. The FX4 decal on the bed had a scratch. The bed was dirty and filled with leaves and branches. When I pointed them out to Fred Marotti his response was "I will order you a bottle of touch up paint". The imbecile actually thought I was going to hand paint chips and scratches on a brand new $67,925 truck. I then looked down to see that the idiot drilled through the wheel lip openings on the back two fenders and the inner wheel wells. He mounted two cheap chrome mud flaps with large rubber extensions behind the rear wheels. Of course they had Empire Ford logos on both. These were the hideous mud flaps you see on commercial dump trucks and landscaping trucks. We were in shock. I told him he voided the sale and we wanted our deposit back. We went into the showroom. He wrote out a cancellation of sale receipt which he signed. He told us the $500 refund would appear back in our account within 5-10 business days. We never got it. I called him and he would not return our calls. I called his manager, Sam Greene. He saw the refund was never issued. He promised he would submit it within 24 hours. He didn't. I tried calling him at the dealership. He wouldn't take my call or return my message. He used his receptionist, Elaine, as a shield to intercept my calls. I have filed a dispute with my bank and credit card company. My advice to anyone interested in buying a Ford is avoid Empire Ford of Huntington. And at all costs avoid the two low lifes that work there. Fred Marotti and Sam Greene.

On 5/18/26 I put a $500 deposit on a new 2026 Ford F150 XLT with the Black Appearance Package Plus at Empire Ford Lincoln of Huntington. The black package is a chrome delete option you pay extra for. Black 20” wheels, painted body color bumpers and black badging. The salesman, Fred Marotti, showed me the truck. It was parked under a tree at there service department back lot. The truck was filthy. He promised the truck would be spotless at delivery. I told him I wanted no dealership badging on my truck other than a license plate frame. On 5/29/26 my wife and I went to pick the truck up. We went out to see the truck. Both side panels on the box had scratches from the tree branches where the truck was stored. The driver’s door had two chips in the paint on the edge. The front bumper was scratched. The FX4 decal on the bed had a scratch. The bed was dirty and filled with leaves and branches. When I pointed them out to Fred Marotti his response was “I will order you a bottle of touch up paint”. The imbecile actually thought I was going to hand paint chips and scratches on a brand new $67,925 truck.

He mounted two large cheap chrome mud flaps with large rubber extensions behind the rear wheels. Of course they had Empire Ford logos on both. These were the hideous mud flaps you see on commercial dump trucks and landscaping trucks. Not what you would put on a chrome delete sport optioned personal truck. We were in shock. I told him he voided the sale and we wanted our deposit back. We went into the showroom. He wrote out a cancellation of sale receipt which he signed. He told us the $500 refund would appear back in our account within 5-10 business days. We never got it. I called him and he would not return our calls. I called his manager, Sam Greene.

He used his receptionist, Elaine, as a shield to intercept my calls. You have to be a weasel to used a receptionist to hide behind. I have filed a dispute with my bank and credit card company. My advice to anyone interested in buying a Ford is avoid Empire Ford Lincoln of Huntington. And at all costs avoid the two low lifes that work there. Fred Marotti and Sam Greene.

I don't do many ratings but my experience with Fredrick Marotti was exceptional. I can truly say that Fred was honest, professional, interested in my needs, and went above and beyond any sales person I have ever dealt with. In general, everyone I spoke with at Empire Ford treated me with great respect. The sales managers, Sam Green and Michael Daniels were great too. I ordered an F150 and the whole process was smooth and easy. I will be a life long customer of Fred and Empire Ford. Patricia A.

I picked up my new car from Empire Ford yesterday and I had outstanding service from start to finish from Fred Marotti who I have been dealing with for over 10 years. Fred went out of his way to find me the perfect car and he always checks in throughout the year to make sure you are happy with your purchase. I cannot say enough about how professional and knowledgeable Fred and the team at Empire Ford in Huntington are. I highly recommend this dealership.
