Poor Customer Service (cut loose after the sale) Over the past 30 days, my salesman misrepresented himself (as did, by association, Ted Britt Ford) numerous times and failed to live up to his word. A Over the past 30 days, my salesman misrepresented himself (as did, by association, Ted Britt Ford) numerous times and failed to live up to his word. After I purchased my vehicle, my salesman poorly (i.e., slowly or not at all) executed his commitments (despite more than a dozen reminder phone calls from me). These follow-ups entailed, simply: obtaining the door lock code, and most importantly shipping the licenses plates to my home. When I would get through to him, he would tell me that he would "call me back in 15 minutes", or one time he replied, "hey, it's kinda busy now with month-end, so can you make a note to call me back later". That turned out to be a joke (a cruel joke)! Now I have one day before my temporary tags expire, and yet I still don't have the permanent tags from Ted Britt Ford. Here are some questions going through my head: - Why can't Ted Britt (and their associates) reliability (and quickly) call back customers? - Why can't Ted Britt follow through on commitments? - Why does Ted Britt Ford misrepresent the actual state of affairs? example: saying my plates were being Shipped over night, when they weren't! - How long has my sales person been selling cars? The irony is that when completing the paperwork on the purchase, the finance manager said that I should give my salesman a perfect score on the DealerRater.com otherwise "he wouldn't get the $50 he earned selling me the car!" First, I don't think the finance manager should be telling people how to rate their car buying experience (very unprofessional). Moreover, if my salesman actually earned $50 from my purchase, then that's $50 too much! He should pay me $50 for having to call him so many times with no response. I think he decided to "cut me loose" after the sale. More
Purchase of 2014 Ford Focus As an expert auto buyer with 40 plus years experience in buying autos and trucks for my personal use, I found the sales and finance staff at Ted Britt As an expert auto buyer with 40 plus years experience in buying autos and trucks for my personal use, I found the sales and finance staff at Ted Britt Fairfax Ford a great group to work with on this purchase. To the novice buyer (particularly young people) as an auto buyer you need to be: informed about the vehicle that you want buy and using the internet is a great way to be informed; knowledgeable about the auto buying process and stay practical in your purchase and know when to say 'no'....think with your head and not with your heart....all cars have 4 wheels but the make, model, options and colors can add dollars to a more practical choose....all you need is 4 wheels; and, knowledgeable about the financing process .....get pre-approved by a favorable lender, even though, you may switch lenders at the time of purchase....just remember you need to know what you can afford...and do not become a 'blowout" (i.e., cannot get financing because you were turned down because of a lack of ability to repay your debt, could not afford the monthly payment, bad credit, or whatever)....and again know when to stay 'no' with your head and not your heart. In a life time you will own several vehicles (hopefully Ford) so think smart, and do not become a car dummy. More

Accident during service...still not made whole I have purchased 4 of my last 6 cars from Ted Britt Ford but I will not be going back. Last year after purchasing a brand new Ford Fusion Hybrid (amaz I have purchased 4 of my last 6 cars from Ted Britt Ford but I will not be going back. Last year after purchasing a brand new Ford Fusion Hybrid (amazing car BTW), I was asked to bring my vehicle in for a recall on the SYNC system. During the servicing, a Ted Britt staff was test driving my car and got into an accident damaging the door and quarter panel. Ted Britt's staff including Service dept head Gary Funk assured me that the accident was "not their fault" (though as you can imagine this wasn't all that comforting). I was at least given a loaner vehicle for the 30+ day period that I was without by car. However, I was also told that it was my responsibility to deal with the insurance company of the guy that hit my car while in Ted Britt's possession. No one was rude but no one was willing to stand up and take responsibility to help me either. When I called to talk to Evelyn Akers-Smallwood (General Sales Manager), she said she tried to see what she could do but in the end said that they "didn't intend to get into an accident" with my car and held the company line that they had no official responsibility and could do nothing to help me. Eventually I just got tired of trying to get them to do the right thing. They were absolutely no help to me whatsoever during the ensuing 6 month fight I have had with the insurance company of the guy who hit my car. I have still not received full restitution for the diminished value of my vehicle. In fact I have had to come out of pocket to pay for independent valuations of the damage to even get the insurance company to talk to me about my vehicle's diminished value. Despite the fact that we had a positive buying experience with Marcus Castellanos and the fact that I love my Fusion and Ford cars in general (in fact we are looking to buy an Edge for my wife in the near future), I will not be using Ted Britt again and I wouldn't recommend them to anyone else.

Al (our salesman) did a fantastic job showing us all of the options that came on our car. He was willing to negotiate and beat the price of another dealership. We felt that he was as interested in us being happy with the deal as much as in selling us a car. There were no surprises when we got to finance and there were no hard sells on the add-on protections and services. We felt very satisfied upon leaving the dealership with our new car. More
Great Buying Experience I had a fantastic buying experience at Ted Britt Ford. The experience began with Dave Donley, my sales associate. Dave took the time to understand w I had a fantastic buying experience at Ted Britt Ford. The experience began with Dave Donley, my sales associate. Dave took the time to understand what I was looking for in a vehicle. We even brought two vehicles by my house so my wife could look at them without having to bring our young children to the dealership. Dave worked with me through the price discussions, and we were able to come to agreement on pricing. I worked with Lauren for after market items. She worked with me to make sure I understood the options they provided. It was a very good discussion with no pressure to accept anything, but rather informed me of some of the things Ted Britt offers. Natasha and Linda were fantastic in the finance department. We were able to get the transaction completed in very short order so I could be on my way with my new vehicle. Linda walked me through several options, and also discussed the extended service plans available including the road hazard option, which was very reasonably priced for a vehicle with 20" wheels. Kwin was my final touch point at the dealership. She walked me through the Sync setup and paired my phone while showing me the bells and whistles of the system. All in all, this was a fantastic buying experience. Ted Britt will be the first place I look when I am in the market for my next vehicle. More
