Rod Baker Ford

Ford Vehicle Sales and ServiceRod Baker opened Rod Baker Ford with his wife and son in the heart of Plainfield in 1963. He came into this business with the determination to treat people fairly and give them a good car buying or servicing experience. Hence our motto “Home of the No Hassle Deal.” In 1992 the dealership relocated from 15303 S. Joliet Rd to its current location. This is also the time when son, Rick, started running the dealership on his own. Soon after, Rod passed in 1994. Having been in the business his whole life Rick has a tremendous love for antique Ford’s which you will often see at the dealership or local car shows. In recent years after being in the business for over 50 years Rick has stepped back to let his children, Ricky and Christina begin their journey with running the family business. Both Ricky and Christina share their dad’s passion for cars. Ricky is a late-model stock car racer and Christina has a few antiques of her own. Over the years Rod Baker Ford has grown from a few employees to over 90 and has added a second service location in Plainfield called Quick Lane. We also have strong local fleet and commercial business in both sales and service. Our biggest goal over the years has been to move with the changing times and growth but stay true to our family business roots. Over 50 years, and three generations later we are still here carrying on with Rod’s expectations.
