Our dealer principal, Dominic Franchella, didn't intend to own a dealership. In fact, out of a love of learning and desire to help people, he intended to be a teacher. Dom got a job as a car dealer to make ends meet, but ended up making a life from it.
Nowadays, Dominic still teaches (and learns!)—just not in a classroom. His passion for making people happy runs throughout Stamford Ford. It’s our vision to help people, whether in the dealership or out in the community. Even Frankie, our beloved dealership dog and unofficial greeter, plays a role in creating a warm, welcoming atmosphere that customers remember long after their visit.
At Stamford Ford, we show exceptional care and empathy to everyone, and hopefully make lots of smiles for all who grace our doorway.

“If I can make one person smile, and they can make one person smile, then soon enough you have a world of smiles.”
— Dominic Franchella


Buying a car often brings stress and anxiety. For many people, nothing is worse than visiting a typical car dealership, where they only get more stress and poor treatment.

As one of the leading Ford dealers in the country, we can do things other dealers can't or won't. We don't treat people like customers; we treat them like family. Our exceptional staff, service, and facilities create a warm, welcoming environment for everyone.
