I give Bob Bell Ford, and specifically the Pre-Owned Vehicle Sales Dept, the highest score possible for several reasons - they are honest, knowledgeable and caring people who did not treat me like just Vehicle Sales Dept, the highest score possible for several reasons - they are honest, knowledgeable and caring people who did not treat me like just another "sale". While I have had "decent" experiences purchasing cars in the past, my experience with Bob Bell Ford is clearly the best ever (I have purchased 7 used cars over the years). I went to the dealership to look at a specific car (Subaru Forester they had on trade) and was under unusual constraints...my own Forester had recently been totaled in an accident, and I had 48 hours use of a rental car while I still awaited a check (my sole means of paying for another car)from the insurance co. When I arrived at Bob Bell, every person I met was welcoming, informed and helpful. Luckily for me, I became a prospective customer of Mr. Don Miller (Asst Mgr), from whom I got a very good feeling even before test driving the Subaru Forester (2005) and then sitting down to talk further. He listened to my situation, my financial constraints,the fact that I am self-employed without a guarenteed "paycheck", and the fact that the insurance co. was not being helpful or cooperative. (How is one, realistically, supposed to find and buy a replacement car without transportation/considerable extra cash/a check from the insurance co. in 2 days?) Despite the misfortune of the accident, I felt very fortunate to have met Mr. Miller, who went far above and beyond what anyone would expect in order to help me. I honestly felt, through all of my interactions with Mr. Miller, that he was trying very hard to actually help me, not just sell me a car. Not only did he work in an honest and kind manner to put me in the vehicle I wanted with the (limited) funds I had to work with, he juggled the various obstacles involved (my transportation, money and insurance company issues) like the pro that he is (I learned his career in sales spans 25 years of experience). Mr. Miller did not say "I'll go out of my way for you" - he just did it. His actions made it clear that he viewed me as an individual with individual circumstances- not just the next sale. Similarly, I was very impressed with the woman who handled my tag/title work (Missy) and with the lot attendant (Darryl). Missy was professional, knowledgeable and so innately nice, and Darryl (who I am certain is mentally challenged, and told me he considers Bob Bell Ford his "family") helped me in several ways including the thorough detailing of my vehicle. He was so polite, interesting and funny. My positive feelings about Bob Bell Ford were enhanced by seeing first-hand that the dealership hires people with various challenges, which obviously extends to their interest in selling to people with various challenges....I am so happy with my "new" vehicle and never expected the buying experience to be the one positive thing that came out of the whole accident debacle. I was very much dreading having to find another car, and so quickly. Mr. Miller, and all of the other people I met at Bob Bell Ford, made what I expected to be a tedious and aggravating experience the exact opposite. I would encourage anyone who is looking for an excellent used vehicle of any type and under any circumstance to contact Bob Bell Ford (and specifically Mr. Dick Miller)for assistance. Mr. Miller told me he does not view his job as "selling" so much as matching the right car to the right customer (I am paraphrasing his words). I liked his philosophy very much, because my father (whose career was in real estate) often told me the same thing- he wasn't into selling but in matching the right home with the right person....I was sincerely impressed with Mr. Miller's integrity and kindness.

Came to the dealership looking for a new Escape. A very friendly staff person approached me and offered for me to test drive some cars. I was able to test drive 2 different Escapes and then asked for the E friendly staff person approached me and offered for me to test drive some cars. I was able to test drive 2 different Escapes and then asked for the Edge. After test driving the Edge, Terry gave me very knowledgeable information about both vehicles. She sat down with me and went over all aspects of each vehicle. Terry new the information very well and gave advice for the kind of car that would suite me best. I had always been a Chevy girl, but after my experience with Terry at Bob Bell Ford, I am now a Ford girl for life! More

I have never been a Ford fan, I always stayed with GM but my car broke down in front of Bob Bell and while I was waiting for it to be towed I went inside to survey the cars. While I was doing that I met Joan my car broke down in front of Bob Bell and while I was waiting for it to be towed I went inside to survey the cars. While I was doing that I met Joanna. Her personality, her style and her knowledge were exceptional. So much so, that I started to look at the idea of buying a Ford, a first after 4o years. I was so impressed with her honesty and that she did not use a sales approach to my questions that I just told her to pick out the car , witin a range, and make the detail decisions and I will come back that night and by the car. We were so impressed that after our Ford was totaled, we insisted to go back to her for its replacement. She is the best of the best More

Terry and the whole staff worked very hard in locating the exact model we wanted, it took them several days to get my Escape as no other dealers wanted to part with their Escapes. Terry had several deals the exact model we wanted, it took them several days to get my Escape as no other dealers wanted to part with their Escapes. Terry had several deals fall thru as the other dealers would back out of trading Bob Bell for the Escape we wanted. Overall we are very pleased with the effort it took to get us in the model we wanted! More
