About Us

Stivers Lincoln Mercury was established in 1980 by Don Politte and Ed Stivers, Jr. The original location was the former Orville Lowe Lincoln Mercury at 1021 Locust in Downtown Des Moines Iowa. In 1985 we opened Stivers Lincoln Mercury at 4730 Merle Hay Road, and coined the term 'Merle Hay Auto Mile.'

The Downtown location remained open and moved to 1717 Ingersoll in 1997, and was consolidated with the Merle Hay location in May of 2004.

Stivers Ford was established on January 18, 2006 in Waukee Iowa. We are a locally owned and family operated business. Our facility was built new in 2003. Our used car superstore was built in 2006.

On April 1, 2009 the Lincoln Mercury franchise was moved to the Ford location in Waukee, and we are proud to be the biggest and best Ford Lincoln Mercury dealer in Iowa—Stivers Ford Lincoln Mercury.

We've been in business for 28 years in Central Iowa. We know price sells cars, and we know service after the sale is important.

Our goal is to be the Ford Lincoln Mercury dealer Iowa thinks of and counts on when they want to purchase a new Ford Lincoln or Mercury vehicle, a Certified PreOwned Ford Lincoln or Mercury, or to have their vehicle serviced at our award winning and best in the state service department.

We place our customers' experience above everything else. We strive to leave everyone with a positive impression of our dealership. Our people are friendly, we have a comfortable atmosphere, and we treat everyone as if they were family members.

We are constantly evaluating our processes to make all aspects of our dealership customer friendly.
