Awful! Very unhappy with Porter Auto Group. We have purchased numerous brand new vehicles from both Porter Chevy and Porter Ford. Each time it was a hassle. Very unhappy with Porter Auto Group. We have purchased numerous brand new vehicles from both Porter Chevy and Porter Ford. Each time it was a hassle. Usually with the titles. We had an issue with a 2008 Trailblazer in which the tag and title work was not done on time, resulting in getting pulled over in PA several times, two brand new Cobalts, both with title issues. The first time the tag was the wrong one for the car, then when I went to sell it, we found out that Porter had entered the wrong VIN number on the paperwork. The 2nd Cobalt they took it upon themselves to title and tag it in DE to an old address that they had on file, even though we had signed paperwork showing our PA address and the correct forms filled out to register/title in PA. They said "they wouldn't accept my ID, so this is how it got done." Did not bother to contact and discuss with my wife or I. Then there was a new Ford Focus ST... they dragged their feet on that too. Did not get my tags in time, so I ran around for nearly a month with expired plates. Now the latest... We repurchased a vehicle that we had traded in (I know... sounds crazy) and that was a nightmare from the beginning. From the attitude of the sales folks, the management, and the guy in which we signed paperwork with. They stated that it had new brakes, and a bunch of other new parts. It in fact did not. I argued this and was given some money back. Then we move from PA back to DE. Nobody has record of a title. Evidently it was sent to the wrong lien holder! A bank that we do not do business with, nor have we ever heard of. What were we told by Porter? "That was what was written on your file folder..." How was/is this our fault or problem?! So, I take several days from work to make calls, drive to Wiggins Auto Tags (who was no help either...) only to get nowhere. I finally call the bank who supposedly has the lien, and should NOT... and they remove it. Porter then takes it upon themselves, after myself sending several angry emails with NO reply at all, to call PennDot and add THEMSELVES as a lien holder ILLEGALLY, after I already spent days clearing this up myself, and it only further delayed things. They lied over and over about where the title was, what was done with/to it, etc. I have access to the PennDot website, I have contacts there, as do I at the DE DMV. I have dealt with buying/selling cars for a long time on the side. I know how these things work, and even confirmed it with folks at PennDot and DE DMV, and even after explaining this, they continued to try to lie about everything from how long the title will take to who is at fault. My wife and I caught them, and called them out, on numerous lies. They didn't care. The final outcome? The lien was magically removed, my bank got me the title within 3 days, and I have a clear title in my hand. Not before my tags expired though. They did send some money back from the fees that we paid them, but it does not pay for the days lost from work or the over 25 documented hours that we spent dealing with this problem alone... not to mention the previous troubles. The moral of this story is BEWARE. More

Very satisfied We were trading our 2013 Edge lease for a smaller vehicle. We knew what we didn't need and what features we really wanted. Also, we didn't know whet We were trading our 2013 Edge lease for a smaller vehicle. We knew what we didn't need and what features we really wanted. Also, we didn't know whether to lease again or buy outright. Our salesman, Chris Mann, listened carefully and gave advice on every purchase option. He was honest and forthright. We decided to lease once again and we are extremely happy with our Ford Escape. This is the third vehicle we bought from Porter Ford and Chris Mann has accommodates us each time. More
