Welcome to Ken Knapp Ford in Essex, Ontario

Since opening our doors in 1983, Ken Knapp Ford has proudly remained locally owned and operated right here in Essex, Ontario. More than four decades later, Ken Knapp still owns the dealership, and that continuity matters. It means decisions are made locally. It means relationships come first. It means our name is on the building — and on the line.

Over the years, we’ve grown alongside families across Essex County, Windsor, Leamington, Kingsville, Tecumseh, and beyond. In fact, we still have team members who have been with us since the early years of the dealership — something we’re incredibly proud of. That kind of longevity says a lot about how we treat both our customers and our staff.

Today, the next generation is leading the way. James Knapp, Ken’s son, serves as General Manager, continuing the family commitment to honest service, strong community ties, and a dealership experience built on trust.

At Ken Knapp Ford, we believe buying or servicing your vehicle should feel straightforward, personal, and pressure-free. Whether you’re shopping for a new Ford, a quality pre-owned vehicle, or visiting our service department, our team is here to exceed expectations every step of the way.
