Currie Motors Ford of Valpo is about fifteen minutes south of Portage on Route 49, in the Porter County seat. There are Ford dealerships closer to you than we are and we are not going to pretend otherwise. This page is about the reasons people drive past them.
Portage and Valparaiso are the two biggest places in Porter County and Route 49 runs directly between them. From most of Portage we are about eleven miles, which is fifteen or twenty minutes depending on the lights at US-30.
We will be straight with you about the competitive picture, because you can work it out on a map anyway. There are two Ford dealerships within about four miles of Portage, one to the east and one to the west. If the only thing that matters is which is nearest, this is a short page and you should go to one of them.
People come to us from Portage anyway, and it is usually for one of four reasons.
If you work turns at the mills or the port, a dealership open nine to five is not much use. Ford Mobile Service and vehicle pickup and delivery mean the car gets serviced while you are on shift or asleep. Pickup and delivery →
Thousands of reviews rather than hundreds, averaging 4.7 out of 5. Worth comparing directly against whoever else you are considering, because the numbers are public and they are not close.
The only authorized ROUSH Performance dealer in Northwest Indiana. If you want a supercharged F-150 or a ROUSH Bronco, distance stops being the deciding factor. ROUSH lineup →
Over 1,000 new Fords available to you. Between our Valparaiso lot and our Currie Motors sister stores, if the trim, color or package you want is not standing here we can have it the same day. Browse inventory →
A dedicated work truck department with upfit sourcing, not a salesperson who covers fleet when it comes up. Work trucks →
Portage runs on schedules most dealerships are not built around. The mills, the Port of Indiana at Burns Harbor, the logistics operations along I-94 and the trades working the corridor all put people on turns, nights and rotating weeks.
Two practical things follow from that.
Our sales floor is open until 9 PM Monday through Friday and 7 PM on Saturday. If you finish at six, you are not racing us to close.
Service does not require you to be awake for it. Pickup and delivery means we collect the vehicle from your house and bring it back. Ford Mobile Service means a technician does qualifying work at your address. Neither costs you a shift or a favour from someone with a second car.
If that is the part that matters to you, call the service department directly on (219) 234-2169 and ask what is covered before you book anything.
Work through the week, family and the lake at the weekend. The most common answer in this county and the platform behind our ROUSH builds if you want more than standard.
View F-150 →For the contractors and industrial suppliers working the port and the I-94 corridor. Chassis cab and upfit configurations available rather than only what is on the lot.
View Super Duty →The van for trades and small businesses along the Route 20 and I-94 corridor, in configurations that can actually be upfitted for the work.
View Transit →Lake effect snow off Michigan is a real planning consideration up here. Three rows, four wheel drive available, and enough capability for a January commute on Route 249.
View Explorer →Indiana Dunes National Park runs along the top of this county. If your weekends involve sand, trailheads or a boat ramp, the Bronco and Bronco Sport were built for it.
View Bronco →Ford Blue Advantage vehicles come inspected and covered, which is a different proposition from an as-is car on a corner lot.
View certified →Route 49 south is the direct run. About eleven miles, no toll road, no interstate needed.
Route 49 south from US-20 or I-94, straight through to US-30 in Valparaiso, then west a short way to Morthland Drive.
