Horrible experience with the Service Dept. I could spend an hour writing my experience but to sum it up quickly - I would not recommend anyone having any kind of service performed here. They le I could spend an hour writing my experience but to sum it up quickly - I would not recommend anyone having any kind of service performed here. They let me leave in an unsafe vehicle and then had me drive it back to the dealership. Eric, Richard and John were very rude and customer service means nothing to them. More
Good experience Very friendly and helpful. They were able to find me a car within my budget and work with the finance companies to get it financed. Very friendly and helpful. They were able to find me a car within my budget and work with the finance companies to get it financed. More

He introduced m Sales consultant Mr. Ian Peebles at Parks Ford Lincoln of Gainesville offered me a great purchase experience of the 2015 Ford Fiesta. He introduced me to all the perks of the sedan and answered my questions regarding specific features with full detail, even minor ones such as cargo load and battery saver. It was a rainy Saturday, Mr. Peebles delightedly took me all the way from the dealership onto I-75 for a test drive simply because I wished to hear how the engine sound at 70 mph and its performance of hill climbing, which turned out to be very convincing. Moved by his thoughtfulness, candor and professionalism, I made this important decision happily, knowing I can trust him and everybody at the dealership on guaranteed high quality support and maintenance. Communication is so important and they did a great job keeping in contact ever since, which to me has been a great comfort. I highly recommend Parks Ford Lincoln of Gainesville as your go-to dealership for a wonderful purchase experience and many joy to come with your automobile. More

Got me back on the road in less than an hour! I was traveling from south Florida to my home in Texas hauling 3 horses. I had had my truck serviced at Al Packer Ford in Wellington the previous wee I was traveling from south Florida to my home in Texas hauling 3 horses. I had had my truck serviced at Al Packer Ford in Wellington the previous week to address the exhaust fluid light and told them there was a recall on it. They said they filled it and all should be ok. However, driving up the turnpike the light kept coming on and then warned me that it would be empty and my speed couldn't be over 55 mph. I wasn't sure if it really was empty or if there was a computer malfunction. I called the closest dealership which was Parks Ford in Gainesville, Fl and the young woman, Jackie, I spoke to said come right on and that they could accommodate my big rig. Service manager Richard Clay helped me and I explained I was on the road and still had a long day ahead of me. He directed me to the truck service area, and a technician was there within minutes analyzing the problem. Fortunately, all that was needed was more exhaust fluid and there didn't seem to be a leak. Meanwhile one of the young men that worked there helped me water and give hay to the horses who enjoyed the short break from the road. I was back on the road within 30 minutes. Everyone I dealt with was courteous and friendly. Thanks so much! More
My most pleasant car-buying experience ever! Outstanding customer service! I dislike the hassles and frustrations that I have experienced in virtually all of my car buying experiences. Until now. Outstanding customer service! I dislike the hassles and frustrations that I have experienced in virtually all of my car buying experiences. Until now. Finally I've found a customer-centric dealership that I would recommend to anyone looking for a new car. As a retired Navy officer and quality manager in my second career, I admit that I have very high expectations in the area of customer service. Parks Ford Lincoln of Gainesville exceeded my expectations. We dealt with four employees, Cory Thornell, Liana Rabinovich, Michael Grimaldi and Jackie Fralic. All of them were professional, friendly, courteous, and helpful in the purchase of our new Ford Edge. Liana Rabinovich was our initial sales contact, and she was most helpful in our selection of the Ford Edge. Cory Thornell handled the remainder of our purchase and was the epitome of my vision of the perfect sales consultant. Michael Grimaldi, General Sales Manager, reviewed our offer and we quickly settled on a price that made us happy. Performance of the vehicle in entering and driving on the interstate was a primary concern for me as was the question of whether the vehicle would fit in my garage due to a fairly steep slope at the entrance. Michael Grimaldi readily agreed for us to test drive the Edge on the interstate and take it to our home to see if there was a problem getting it into the garage. We drove down I-75 to our home in SW Gainesville. During the drive, Cory Thornell answered many of our questions about the vehicle and its many features. It was like taking a drive with an old friend. At our home, Cory kept a lookout for clearance as I drove the Edge into the garage. There was ample clearance, so our decision was made. Back at the dealership, Jackie Fralic handled the financial portion of our purchase. Jackie has a very pleasant personality, and she professionally and quickly completed our purchase paperwork. Cory Thornell delivered the Edge to us, answered all of our remaining questions, and invited us to call him if any new questions arose. Overall, this was a great car-buying experience, and I would most highly recommend Cory Thornell and this dealership to anyone who wants an outstanding customer service experience. More
Great Experience I worked with a New to car sales by the name of Cory Thornell. You would have never known that he was only 2 month into selling cars. Very knowledgeab I worked with a New to car sales by the name of Cory Thornell. You would have never known that he was only 2 month into selling cars. Very knowledgeable, articulate and personable. It made my experience seamless. This is my second new car buying from this dealership and it is nice to see some of the same faces. Jackie Fralic rocks! More
