A very pleasant & very fair experience. Background: Went in for service on 20'13, F-150 King Ranch w/ 39,990+ mileage.

While waiting, I passed the time by walking the new car lots of both Ford & Lincoln. The rest of the story is quite obvious, though unplanned. With my b-day a week away, turning 71, I decided on impulse .. to treat myself. :-)) This was my 3rd purchase via Salesman Tom Landry and 4th with O.C. Welch, over the past 5 years. After leaving and reflecting back, the first and earliest stage of the transaction, (ie: selection process, vehicle feature explanations & demonstrations and test drive, was a great experience and in keeping the with past transactions. The second stage, involved the $$ negotiations and finding a $$ amount each party can find fair and each can live is .. This is without a doubt the most difficult phase of the total transaction. In short, I believe each of the O.C. Welch employees worked closely with each other to ensure the first number presented is the best offer available to me .. satisfying my one and only request. For personal reasons that I will not expand upon, I simply was not mentally prepared for a long drawn out "dog & pony" show .. though I fully understand it's role & necessity. Thus far, that was the "Good" news. The bad news, the amount I had arrived at in my head, as acceptable was missed .. by a whopping $ 381.00, with O.C. being the higher of the two. :-)). Another very satisfying experience. My only regret is that I did not think nor look at the floor mats, until after taking the car home. I intend to speak with Tom and purchase the heavy duty rubber (all weather)mats, within the next day or two. Last, but not least, the final stage involving the picking up our new Lincoln MKS .. was quick, smooth and painless. Tom again, took the time necessary, to answer any and all questions that I had along with applicable demonstrations .. along with reminder to call or visit anytime.o resolve problems or questions . . Overall .. FANTASTIC EXPERIENCE. Ron Raible 41 Osprey Cir Callawassie Island, SC 29909 Phone: 843 987-3997 Email; ronraible@aol.com More

Easiest People to Buy a Car From! From the moment I pulled up to the moment I left, I felt like everyone there was available to help me, answer all my questions, listen to what I had t From the moment I pulled up to the moment I left, I felt like everyone there was available to help me, answer all my questions, listen to what I had to say and give me multiple options to choose from. There was never a time I felt rushed, pushed, judged or looked down upon like you I have witnessed on other dealerships. OC Welch and his staff are there to help you find what you want and work with you to make it financially obtainable. I showed up a little nervous, but left proud and full of excitement with my new truck. Thank you OC and thank you all who helped make my day! More
Our Best Car Purchasing Experience We had been searching for a new vehicle for several moments. We had conducted our research and basically knew what we wanted from a car. As any buy We had been searching for a new vehicle for several moments. We had conducted our research and basically knew what we wanted from a car. As any buyer, we "kicked tires" at several dealerships to ultimately decide on O.C. Welch Ford Lincoln. At O.C. Welch we were approached by a gentleman that was friendly, honest and very eager to assist us in picking out exactly what we needed. The most important part was the personal bond that we established. It took us a week to make the deal and our salesman was there for us anytime we had questions. The entire O.C. Welch team treated us with hospitality but most important with respect through our transaction. What truly sold the car and the dealership was our salesperson, Raymond Reed. Raymond (Ray) was the constant contact that provided us with honest, timely answers to all questions. Ray is no-nonsense and patient during our decision process. GO SEE O.C. -----> You will not regret it! psssss. Ask for Raymond Reed. More

I did this and I also sent some pictures of my trade in.He asked me to come in ,because another person was interested in the truck I wanted to purchase.I left Ladson,S.C. and it took an hour in a half to reach the dealership in Hardeeville.When I arrived he told me the other person put a deposit down on the truck.I told him I drove 150 miles and wanted to see the truck.He asked another sales person to help me.She was nice and showed me the truck.The other guy Richard avoided me completely while my trade in was being appraised.He the came over and told me the other guy was there and they made a deal over the phone.I was upset and told him I wanted my truck back and left.Terrible customer service and liars.Will never think of doing business there again.

My mom could have been killed in this car. These people are Horrible and mean , they are not about customer service at all. My sweet 70 year old mom purchased a new ford car from them and it ha These people are Horrible and mean , they are not about customer service at all. My sweet 70 year old mom purchased a new ford car from them and it has just stopped working completely three times. Once on the highway which is very dangerous. Every time she took it in they said it was fine and to keep driving it. She could have been killed on that highway incident and other people hurt or killed. They still didn't care Steve Cummin's zero customer service skill he had the attitude of screw you not my problem. They have no interest in making this right so we had to hire a lawyer and they are still fighting us. So don't buy a car from these people if you know whats good for you. More
Ford Customer Service blames customers for vehicle issues. I went to OC welch after I was instructed by Ford Detroit to go there for my rear sliding window on the 2014 FX2. It was a waste of time since Ford D I went to OC welch after I was instructed by Ford Detroit to go there for my rear sliding window on the 2014 FX2. It was a waste of time since Ford Detroit had said no warranty on the window. JC Lewis had informed Detroit that I had caused the issue defog strip damage. The window was changed a month later under warranty for the sliding window seal being falling out and then damaged by the window. My issue with OC is I had front tires wearing on insides and exhaust leaks at manifolds and slip joints. The exhaust leaks, I was told, are normal on these types of connections. I never had leaks on any of my other vehicles in 40 years. Also, the tire issue was caused by me not keeping tires properly inflated and taking turns too fast. This is a load of BS as inside tire wear is caused by front end alignment. OC said alignment was good and I needed to be more careful with turning and servicing my tires. Ford does not provide cam bolts to allow the alignment to be adjusted. Customer has to pay for the bolt kit. When I picked up the truck window sealant was on bed topper and fender (about a 20 inch strip). 3 hours after that discussion, the truck was traded in for a 2015 GMC Sierra SLT. 3000 miles now ot and no issues with it. The traded in 2014 Ford FX2 crew cab with 15k miles rode rough due to tires that would not stay in balance from date of purchase. This was also normal per JC Lewis and Ford Detroit and I was feeling vibes when there was none. More
by far worst I have ever dealt with The service department at OC Welch Ford is by the far worst I have ever seen. Everyone in there will tell you they are the service manager, and NONE o The service department at OC Welch Ford is by the far worst I have ever seen. Everyone in there will tell you they are the service manager, and NONE of them have a clue to what they are doing. CINDY is the worst to deal with. She is clueless when it comes to customer service skills, and has no idea what she is talking about when it trying to explain what is wrong with your car. Oh and don't ask for the General Manager because apparently he is useless and can't help with anything. I have had to take my car back twice now for the same issue, and when I was told to come pick my car up, it was not parked where I was told it would be, it was hidden around back with the hood left partially open. STAY AWAY FROM THIS DEALER. Please, heed this warning before you let them service your car!! More
