RUNAROUND I came in just looking to trade in my ford ranger with 48000 miles on it. Mind you i get in there they instantly start taking a credit application out I came in just looking to trade in my ford ranger with 48000 miles on it. Mind you i get in there they instantly start taking a credit application out after i already told them I was not looking to finance. Then I proceeded to sit there for about two hours while the salesman I had just made pointless conversation to keep me from paying attention to how long they took. Then after I said I was not trying to finance I get brought into the finance department anyways and the first thing the guy says after I specifically said 3 times already that I was not looking to finance the vehicle, "how much are you trying to pay a month". They were pulling my credit like crazy making my credit look suspicious. I was kept in the dark, not being told how much my trade in was worth how much the car I was looking at was worth, nothing. I ended up walking out in frustration because of their lack of communication and integrity. They totally tried to take advantage of me. THEN the following day i decided to take out some money and give them an good offer for the vehicle they originally were trying the scam me into financing. The salesman spoke to the managers, spoke to the gm and called me back and said that we had a deal and it was going to work out 100%. After that phone call i was continuously harassed on the phone for them to try to get me in that day, they even offered to stay open late for me. tried to get me to sign papers before even purchasing the vehicle and proceeded to tell me that they hope I'm serious because they were and that " its one thing to have the money and be serious than to just be all talk." I quadruple checked before I arrive the following morning that the terms were final and official. Well what do ya know, I wake up extra early before work to make it to the bank to withdraw my cash and proceeded to the dealership, walk in, and they instantly unacknowledged the deal we had made the day prior and that i had confirmed that morning. They tried to rase the price on me by a couple thousand. Mind you the vehicle we are discussing was priced too high and at the rate of depreciation that will occur in 3 months from now they will have to sell it cheaper than what my offer was to begin with. Overall, this company likes to try to take advantage of younger adults by keeping them in the dark and making false deals to get you in the door jus to raise the price when they see you. DO NOT BUY A VEHICLE FROM THIS DEALERSHIP THEY ARE HIGHLY UNPROFESSIONAL. More
AC temt not cold I bought my 2018 Edge from Girard Ford, it was prepped poorly, molding broken, lucky the sales rep noticed, and order another molding. Than I noticed I bought my 2018 Edge from Girard Ford, it was prepped poorly, molding broken, lucky the sales rep noticed, and order another molding. Than I noticed a scratch on the inner part of the hood near the windshield wiper, the dealer tried to put in a claim into Ford, denied, the general manager covered the repair, scratch was caused by lifting the wiper arm when it was in parked mode. The next problem was the AC not cold enough , the service assist Jose came out to the Edge with me I turned the AC on he said it's fine, than he had the tech check it with a inferred heat sensor and said it 47 degrees, not true, I check it it a certified temp unit and said 61 degrees, and I called the service manager Scott to meet with him, I arrived to meet with Scott, he denied that I even spoke with him, he talked about how the tech tests for the temp, I told Scott I went4 different dealers tested the AC in different Edges, much colder than mine, I asked Scott twice to come out the Edge with me to check the AC temperature, that did not happen, bottom line he was rude and said to go to another dealer for service. I will be calling the general sale manager and complain and also calling Ford. More

Sales I found what I was looking for on the internet. Girard Ford is one hour ride for me but worth the trip. My salesman was Luis and I also dealt with Dou I found what I was looking for on the internet. Girard Ford is one hour ride for me but worth the trip. My salesman was Luis and I also dealt with Doug the manager. I liked the truck but was concerned with some scratches and a missing floor mat. It is used so I guess that is to be expected. Doug had a set of new floor mats and touch up paint brought to my house one hour away from them. They were pleasant people to talk with. I think they went above and beyond to make me happy. Look at the vehicles they have I think they price them reasonable. I would recommend them. More

Absolute worst car buying experience! I recently purchased a used ford f 150 from Girard ford.. The salesman was Robert Reardon who seemed nice but turned out to be a scammer. My fiancé me I recently purchased a used ford f 150 from Girard ford.. The salesman was Robert Reardon who seemed nice but turned out to be a scammer. My fiancé mentioned he seemed shady. Within a month of my purchase, the ac compressor went. Within a month and a half of that, the truck wouldn’t even turn on. A grocery list of issues is what I was given from another ford dealership. Spoke to a Doug about these issues and was told I’d get a call back to resolve the issues........I’m still waiting for the call back. I can’t remember regretting anything more than visiting this dealership ever. Within 3 months of my purchase, I’ve had to spend over $1,200 in repairs. Granted it is a used truck and I’m expecing minor repairs to come up but this is excessive. I’ve never felt so scammed in my life. If you’re reading this, please don’t go to Girard. They have not one single integritous bone. I’m upset I have to even give them one star More

SCAM SCAM SCAM While friendly to your face, these salespeople have no issues with lying through their teeth. I was interested in purchasing a vehicle and having trus While friendly to your face, these salespeople have no issues with lying through their teeth. I was interested in purchasing a vehicle and having trusted their "auto check" report almost went through with the purchase. Lucky for me, I spoke to a friend who said they wouldn't buy a pack of gum from this place so I ran a CarFax on my own. Turns out the vehicle, which I had been told repeatedly was not in an accident, was towed away and completely disabled in an accident! Morale of the story is, don't go to Girard and always run a CarFax. Auto Check is not a reliable source and neither is their management. More
