A Different Kind of Dealership

When you’ve been in business for nearly a century, you learn what truly matters: treating people right and making the car-buying process simple. That’s the foundation Kerlin Motor Company was built on back in 1927—and it’s why customers drive from across Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, Illinois, and beyond to do business with us.

We don’t play pricing games. We don’t force adds. And we don’t waste your time.

Why Do People Make the Drive?

Whether it’s a rare Shelby, a custom Black Widow truck, or a quality pre-owned vehicle, we hear the same thing from our customers over and over:

“No one else had the selection and the honesty we found at Kerlin.”

1. Performance Inventory You Can’t Get Anywhere Else

We’re an Authorized Shelby, Black Widow, and Hennessey Performance dealer—which means you get exclusive access to vehicles most stores can’t even order.

A 785HP Shelby F-150 Off Road that blows past the Raptor R
A Black Widow Supercharged Super Duty built to dominate
A Explorer Van with full FMVSS compliance and factory warranty

We stock them, build them, and finance the entire package with Ford’s rates and incentives.

2. We Price It Right—Up Front

Forget the “call for price” bait-and-switch. At Kerlin, you’ll see transparent pricing on every vehicle we advertise—online and in-store.

No hidden fees. No forced “protection packages.” Just honest pricing with a handshake to match.

3. People Trust Us Because We’ve Earned It

With 98 years in business and 5 consecutive Ford President’s Awards (2020–2024), we’ve built a reputation on integrity, service, and results. Families buy from us generation after generation—not just because of what we sell, but because of how we sell it.

More Than Just Sales

We’re not just a place to buy your next vehicle—we’re a long-term partner in taking care of it. From factory-trained service to easy trade-ins, we’re here to help every step of the way.

Need service on your Super Duty?
Looking to outfit an Explorer Van for family road trips?
Want top dollar for your trade without the dealership “dance”?

We’re here. No pressure. No gimmicks. Just real help, from real people.

Come See the Difference

At Kerlin Motor Company, we believe in doing things the right way. That’s why we’ve been here since 1927, and why we’ll be here tomorrow.
