I tried for a long time to get a Ford Fusion Hybrid. Started at another dealership, put money down and then never heard from them again. So I tried Russel and Smith Ford. These guys worked hard to get Started at another dealership, put money down and then never heard from them again. So I tried Russel and Smith Ford. These guys worked hard to get me a Hybrid. Sales manager Josh and made many phone calls tto locate one at another dealer. No luck. Then salesman Sam A. tried and he made many calls, too. No luck. These guys would not even take a deposit because they knew how difficult it was to get the Hybrid. Four weeks went by. Sam kept in touch, letting me know how the search was going. At last, Sam called me -- Russel and Smith had two Hybrids on the way as their allotment of Fusion Hybrids. I was at the dealership in minutes and was soon driving my new Ford Fusion Hybrid. Josh, Sam and the entire team at Russel and Smith Ford made a great effort to find me the vehicle I wanted. Recommended. More

I received excellent service from Darrel. He listened to what I needed, what I wanted and what I was able to afford. He provided most of the interventions so I did not have to worry about the deal. He was t what I needed, what I wanted and what I was able to afford. He provided most of the interventions so I did not have to worry about the deal. He was there with me every step of the way. At each step, he told me what was going on and about how long it would take and what was next. He provded me with information on my car choice while I waited. He was very courteous and professional. I came to Darrel because I has worked with him several years prior and his integrity, excellence and commitment to his customers still availed. Darrel was very honest. He was upfront and told me exactly what could and could not be done. There wasn't any information that I received that was not the truth. I have referred several of my co-workers to Darrel when they are ready to purchase, mainly because of the service he provides. He also provides great follow-through. When it was time for my first oil change I received a reminder email and he contacted me about two or three weeks after my purchase to see if I was still satisfied with my selection. I will remain a customer of Darrel's when I am ready to purchase my next vehicle. If you are looking for a stress free, honest, customer oriented salesman, you will not be disappointed in Darrel Babineaux. More
I had been debating on buying a new car for a couple years (yes 2 years). I am very careful in regards to major purchases. I decided I wanted a Mustang. I went to a couple of dealerships but I did not years (yes 2 years). I am very careful in regards to major purchases. I decided I wanted a Mustang. I went to a couple of dealerships but I did not get a comfortable feeling. My last stop was Russell & Smith Ford where my wife and I met Darrell Babineaux. Darrell was very professional and made both my wife and I very comfortable. He did not come across as someone wanting to make a buck but instead made us feel like he wanted us to make a decision that we would be satisfied with. After telling Darrell what I wanted in a Mustang, within a few days, he gave me a call and said he got it! My wife and I returned to the dealership to find a Mustang that exceeded our expectations. Needless to say, we walked out with a new Mustang. Even after our purchase, Darrell has even called to check on both of us. We really appreciated the excellent service he provided. The truth is, I am very cautious and patient, so if Darrell had not been our salesperson, I am 99% sure I would not have purchased a new vehicle. More
My great experience started off with a phone call prior to me visiting the dealership. Darrell discussed with me what I was looking for in a new car an assured me the he would take care of me. I was comfor to me visiting the dealership. Darrell discussed with me what I was looking for in a new car an assured me the he would take care of me. I was comfortable working with Darrell and Russell and Smith because they didn't try to strong arm me into purchasing a new car in order to meet a sales quota. I had an issue with financing after leaving the dealership and Darrell listen to my concerns and let the managers know that I was coming back to get it resolved. When a sale an goes through those lengths after a purchase have been made, they deserve a rating that totally says GREAT! Thank Darrell Babineaux More

I purchased a F150 2010 pick up truck this past January 31 from a Sale Consultant by the name of Dave Ulrich. This was the first time I have purchased a truck and I was very excited and thrilled. Dave is 31 from a Sale Consultant by the name of Dave Ulrich. This was the first time I have purchased a truck and I was very excited and thrilled. Dave is a wonderful Sales Consultant in every way and made my purchase a pleasant experience. Now on the other had - Seven months later after my second oil change and first tire rotation. I noticed that the drive on my truck was riding very rough and that my two front tires were looking worn. I was concerned and decided to take my truck to NTB Tire Service. The technician looked at my tires along with his manager and noticed that the front end needed to be looked at. He mentioned that it could possibly either be the aliment or the struts. He advised me that since the truck was still on warranty I needed to go back to Russell and Smith and have them take a look at it and see if they could repair the problem, so I did. I went back to Russell and Smith at the Auto Service Department this past Saturday August 27th and I was greeted by a technician by the name of Daniel Dougley. He looked at my tires and was very rude and defensive!! He asked if I had rotated my tires and I told him yes. After we had said a few rudely words with each other I had ask for the manager. I no longer wanted to deal with him any more and felt I was getting now where with him!! He told me that the Manager would be in on Monday and gave me his manager’s business card and not his own. I then took a day off from work and took my truck back to Russell and Smith first thing Monday morning August 29th and asked to speak with Doug Winkler. Mr. Winkler then took a look at my truck and also asked me the same questions and I gave him the same answer as I gave to Daniel. I also expressed to him how very unprofessional and rude his technician Daniel Dougley was with me on Saturday. He really did not seem to be very concerned. Then after Mr. Winkler had one of his employee’s drive my truck around to the back of the Service Dept. this was probably around 9:30am and told me it would take maybe about two hours or so. I waited all day in their lobby until about 5:00pm that evening. No one; not anyone and any time until then came out to give me the status on my truck. He then said they could not find any thing wrong with my truck and all they could do is just rotated my tires again. Now! That took almost eight hours for them to tell me that!!! I’m very upset and displeased with Russell and Smith and will not recommend any one that I know to ever purchase a vehicle with this company!! I have a warrantee on this truck I feel that they did not honor me that!! I plan to take this further until a get this matter resolved! Mario and Sandra Nunez (832)282-1000 cell More
