D-Patrick Crawfordsville: About Us

How Etter Ford Became D-Patrick Crawfordsville

For over 85 years, Etter Ford was a trusted name in Crawfordsville, Indiana, providing reliable vehicles and excellent customer service to the community. In 2022, the dealership joined the D-Patrick family, marking a new chapter while continuing the same dedication to quality and hometown service.

Now known as D-Patrick Crawfordsville, the dealership remains committed to serving the area with a wide selection of used vehicles, access to D-Patrick's extensive inventory, and the same customer-first approach that made Etter Ford a local favorite. By joining D-Patrick, Crawfordsville customers now benefit from a larger network of vehicles, expanded service options, and the expertise of Ford-certified technicians-all while maintaining the welcoming, small-town dealership experience.

About D-Patrick

In 1998, Pat's son, Michael O'Daniel (Mike), and son-in-law, Ray Farabaugh, became co-presidents, leading D-Patrick into its next phase of growth. They introduced new locations, expanded body and glass services, and acquired additional dealerships across Evansville, Boonville, Lebanon, and Crawfordsville.

Today, D-Patrick operates Ford, Lincoln, Nissan, Honda, Volkswagen, Audi, BMW, Porsche, and Mercedes-Benz dealerships, along with three body shops in Evansville and one in Lebanon. With a team of 500+ employees, D-Patrick is dedicated to customer satisfaction, high-quality service, and giving back to the communities it serves.
