Family is more than just a tagline for our dealership, it's really who we are. We are a family-owned and operated dealership; part of the McFarland family.
Our sister dealership in Exeter was founded in 1957 by Frank O. Patterson of Greenland, NH and Donald J. McFarland of Rye, NH. In 1984 the McFarland family acquired the Ford franchise for the Hampton/Seacoast market in North Hampton, New Hampshire. One year later, the dealership officially opened in the building which is now housed by Sunbelt Rentals. The Hyundai franchise was added to the lineup in 1990, creating Hampton Ford-Hyundai. Then, in 2002, the Hampton Ford Hyundai brand expanded to include our Wholesale Outlet and Seacoast Collision Center body shop with the purchase of 178 Lafayette Rd (the former Seacoast Harley Davidson building). Just one year later, the family purchased 177 Lafayette Rd and built the state-of-the-art facility that Hampton Ford Hyundai now calls home.
Realizing the enormous carbon footprint a family of automotive businesses (a dealership, service center, body shop and wholesale dealer) leaves, Jay McFarland took the leap and outfitted the body shop and wholesale building with solar panels in 2017. These solar panels generate over 98 kWhs of electricity per year and power our Wholesale and Seacoast Collision Center building!
