Great overall experience. Ted and the sales staff at Flammer in Tarpon did a great job with my deal on a new F350 Crew Cab. The price was the best that I found in a statewide Ted and the sales staff at Flammer in Tarpon did a great job with my deal on a new F350 Crew Cab. The price was the best that I found in a statewide search, and they gave me the most credit for my trade in. The buying process was quick and painless :) I would highly recommend contacting Mr. Chronis if you are in the market for a new Ford. In addition, Jeff (the sales manager) and the finance team worked very hard to expedite the sale, and I am quite satisfied with the way they treated me. Kudos to the sales team. They should be commended by the executive staff! More

Superb Service As Always! Another superb service as usual! Definitely Rob Bender is the BEST of the BEST! Always service with a smile and gives that personal touch that makes Another superb service as usual! Definitely Rob Bender is the BEST of the BEST! Always service with a smile and gives that personal touch that makes everyone feel special. It keeps me coming back. I have to say though, today service was even more so extraordinary, along with getting an oil change, replacing air in the tires with Nitro and installing a front license plate done by Julio Rodriguez, who did an exceptional job, Thank YOU Julio, I also had my vehicle detailed by Pat. The quality of the detail was totally Awesome, looked like a new car both inside and out. But what was even more Awesome is when I got in my car to leave, I noticed 2 5$ in the cup holder. A feeling of great gratitude came over me, like WOW, how amazing, this doesn't happen too many times. It was very heartwarming!! I looked for Rob, but he wasn't in his office, so I headed back home and called him. I asked who was the person who found the money and he told me "Pat was and he called me to tell me he found it and I asked him to just place it in the cup holder". I expressed my extreme surprise and deep appreciation and ask for him to please pass it forward to Pat. Thank YOU Pat for your true honesty, integrity, professionalism and superb workmanship!! Many Thanks to Everyone! Teresa Touchton More

My first experience with this dealership was in October of 2013. It was extraordinarily great; I told my friends at work that it was wonderful. My experience in February of 2014 was the exact opposite. of 2013. It was extraordinarily great; I told my friends at work that it was wonderful. My experience in February of 2014 was the exact opposite. The interior hood release was broken, so I took it in for repair. I arrived at my appointment time (7:30 am) and was ignored for 10 minutes. "Service" individuals walked all around me, yet no one asked if I had been helped. One individual stated "they are coming in droves today". Nothing like hearing that to make a customer feel like she is an annoynance rather than a valued customer. When I finally found someone to help me, my "service advisor" was rude, even suggesting that I had abused my car resulting in the broken part. Despite being a previous customer, my name was spelled wrong, making it difficult to find my reservation for service. After 2 1/2 days, the appropriate part finally was acquired and my car was released to me. The windshield wiper fluid had not been replaced as I had requested. The car was dirty. At least I wasn't charged, for the repair was covered by warranty. Will I return? Maybe, but only for the convenient location of the dealership. At least this time, I know to expect poor service and won't be disappointed. More

I contacted Karl Flammer Ford through their internet sales and had a great experience. I was also dealing with two other dealerships trying to get the best deal for a 2014 Mustang Premium. Tom, my sales sales and had a great experience. I was also dealing with two other dealerships trying to get the best deal for a 2014 Mustang Premium. Tom, my sales representative, responded quickly and with answers to my emails. He would, on average, respond to my emails within two hours of sending them, which was beyond helpful! We were able to come to an amazing deal! Upon arriving at the dealership (which was a 3 hour drive away), I was able to test drive the vehicle. I immediately fell in love and finished all the paperwork. Richard, their financial manager, was amazing. He answered all my questions, spent the time to go over all my options, and was able to get me a fantastic deal. Paperwork was quick and painless! I would recommend Karl Flammer Ford to all my friends and family. Their customer service representatives called a week later to make sure I was still happy with my purchase and asked if there was anything they could help with! I LOVE my new Mustang!! More

I was looking to replace a Ford that was totaled when I was hit by a drunk driver. My Insurance Company told me that my car is what saved me during this violent accident. My internet search brought me to was hit by a drunk driver. My Insurance Company told me that my car is what saved me during this violent accident. My internet search brought me to Karl Flammer Ford, although they were over 3 hours away from me. Tom Sfero was a perfect salesman. No pressure, no hassle, friendly, very helpful, and respectful. I have to admit I did not purchase this vehicle from Karl Flammer Ford, but bought an identical vehicle from a neighboring Ford dealer based only on color combination. When searching for a specific used vehicle, that is usually something you have no choice of. The color they have, is what was traded to them. It just so happened another dealership had the same vehicle in the color combination that I originally had, so that is what my purchase choice ended up being based on, exterior and interior color combination. Tom even emailed me when the vehicle I was considering was sold to inform me of the sale. Then I had a follow up email from Meghan Flammer asking what they could have done differently to had earned my business. No answer was NOTHING! My decision was based on color only. With that being said, I was so impressed with the internet treatment by Tom and Meghan that I felt it necessary to at least thank them with a positive review and to let others know not to be wary of internet sales on a vehicle. I would highly recommend Karl Flammer Ford and their internet department. More
