World Ford Pensacola

The salesman, Blake Word, helped us find several vehicles that we were considering. He was not pushy at all. When we narrowed it down to two vehicles, Blake was very helpful listening to our vehicle needs that we were considering. He was not pushy at all. When we narrowed it down to two vehicles, Blake was very helpful listening to our vehicle needs and relating that to the two vehicles. Blake's patience and vehicle knowledge led to us choosing a 2013 Explorer, which we are very happy with. Blake has called us since the purchase to inquire about any problems or questions we might have had. Jeff Thompson, the sales manager, was sure that he could beet the low interest rate at my credit union. Jeff was very courteous and confident he could get us a better rate. So I let him waste his time and try. I am glad he did. He was able to find us a lender that beet my credit union interest rate. This is the first vehicle I have not financed through my credit union. I have and will continue to recommend World Ford, Blake Word, and Jeff Thompson. Thank you Blake and Jeff! More

After an accident we had two estimates for repair. the first estimate was for a little over $7,000. the second was from World Ford and was a little over $11,000. Our vehicle is a new Ford and wanted it first estimate was for a little over $7,000. the second was from World Ford and was a little over $11,000. Our vehicle is a new Ford and wanted it fixed by Ford with Ford parts, but that was a big difference in estimates. Jerry Chancellor, the collision center manager, explained that his estimate was higher because the other estimate, by a different body shop, was done without removing any vehicle parts. The first estimator was not able to see all the damaged and broken parts beneath the surface. I checked with the first body shop and confirmed that Jerry was correct. If Jerry hadn't taken the time to do a proper estimate and explain the difference between the two estimate, I would have had the other body shop fix our vehicle. I am extremely satisfied with Jerry Chancellor, his team, and how my vehicle turn out. It looks brand new and drives that way too. I will recommend World Ford Collision Center to everyone. More

The customer service I received while at World Ford Pensacola is unmatched. They did everything they possibly could to work with me and my budget. The representatives treated me as an "old friend" ra Pensacola is unmatched. They did everything they possibly could to work with me and my budget. The representatives treated me as an "old friend" rather than as a "sale" which is something I have yet to experience at other lots. The service and care that I saw, not only my car buying experience but maintenance for the vehicle is fantastic. They want to make sure that their customers are well taken care and love the vehicle they own so they do all that they can to ensure customer satisfaction. By far my experience at World Ford has been my best car buying experience. More

The sales staff were very easy to work with. We came in having done a lot of research, including test drives of similar cars in the Fusion category, so we knew what a good price was for the vehicle. They m having done a lot of research, including test drives of similar cars in the Fusion category, so we knew what a good price was for the vehicle. They made it easy to work on a great price for each of us without having to do the usual back-and-forth negotiations. They quickly understand that making a deal with us would require a quick solution and they followed through with it. More

Recently purchased a 2013 F150 from World Ford Pensacola and had a great time with the friendly staff. I was greeted by Richard Ferrero and he help guide me to the perfect truck. The focus was on finding and had a great time with the friendly staff. I was greeted by Richard Ferrero and he help guide me to the perfect truck. The focus was on finding the right truck for me. We didn't talk about my trade-in or the price of vehicles, until we found the right truck and took a test drive. Jeff Thompson negotiated a great price on the F150 and gave me a very good price on my Toyota. With the $5500 rebate from Ford and Ford credit, the price of a new truck was better then a low mileage 2011-12. I highly recommend World Ford Pensacola and hope you enjoy your visit too. More

This was the BEST BUYING EXPERIENCE EVER! We found a car online that was priced thousands less than the same car at other dealers. We were somewhat skeptical at first, but decided we should check it out. online that was priced thousands less than the same car at other dealers. We were somewhat skeptical at first, but decided we should check it out. We are certainly glad we did! Byron Boatman is a true professional. He is knowledgeable, and more importantly respectful. He explained World Ford's "best in market" pricing philosophy. He gave us a thorough presentation of the vehicle, and allowed us an extended test drive. This car was much nicer than others we had seen at much higher prices. We decided to purchase the car contingent upon our trade-in. Byron assured us that we would receive full actual cash value for our car. Other dealers had tried to low-ball us on our trade-in, but we actually received an offer $300 more than the other dealer's best appraisal - THE FIRST TIME! The business manager, Tony, completed our paperwork in a timely manner and provided complete explanations and answers to any questions we had. He was actually able to beat our credit union rate by almost two percentage points. By the time we were done, Byron had the car cleaned and our license plate transferred. He also went over the car with us again to ensure that we were familiar with all the features and settings before we drove away. Everyone at World Ford was extremely friendly, courteous, and helpful. We look forward to referring our friends and family to Byron and the team at World Ford. Thank you. More

Welshed out on deal!! Would not stand behind agreement we made with them-then it was 'oh well'. My opinions of a sales salesman remains unchanged! we made with them-then it was 'oh well'. My opinions of a sales salesman remains unchanged! More

On 27Sep12, we took my wife's car into World Ford of Pensacola to have work done for a recall on her 2004 Ford Escape and to have the service department check on an ongoing oil leak. At that time, we w Pensacola to have work done for a recall on her 2004 Ford Escape and to have the service department check on an ongoing oil leak. At that time, we were told that they needed to add dye to the oil to find the exact location of the leak and we would have to come back later, which we OK'd and they did. We were not notified of a pinion seal leak or license plate lights that were marked as RED on the "Vehicle Report Card". In addition, they marked washer fluid needed to be filled when I know I had just filled the fluid prior to bringing it in. When we went back (13Oct12) to get the oil leak located exactly, we were told that we had leaking at two seperate points and needed to have multiple gaskets replaced. Our initial estimate that was given was about $1000. We asked if that included parts and labor as well as tax. I specifically asked Mrs. Rogan (our service advisor) if tax was included in that and she said "yes it is". We dropped it off and approved them to do the repairs. We were assured that they would have it done by the end of the 3rd day. Kathy called and said they found another oil leak and the spark plugs needed replacing as well and quoted the additional cost of $250 and would not be able to pick up the car until the following day when they could get the parts and do the work. When it came time to pay the bill, we were told the total would be $1347.88. The total including tax. When we brought this up, we were told that "service advisors are not allowed to quote tax included with repair costs". So, Mrs. Rogan lied to us about the cost including the tax. With some grumbling, we paid the additional tax and left. The next day, were out driving and were about to pull into a parking lot and we heard a loud clank under the hood of the car and lost power steering on the car. We immediately parked opened the hood to see what we could see and noticed the drive pulley was missing and the serpentine belt was dangling loosely. So we went back to the corner of the lot and saw the drive pulley laying on the highway turn lane. If this had happened 5 minutes earlier when I was doing 55 MPH on Highway 98, it could have caused a serious accident either by me loosing control of the car or the parts bouncing around on the road and causing others to lose control of their cars. I shudder to think what would have happened if this kind of repair was done on a vehicle driven by an elderly person. I'm fairly certain they would have died due to World Ford's mechanics. We managed to get the car down to GoodYear Auto center in Navarre and they were able to put the parts of the car back on (charging us $101.42). When I contacted the service department of World Ford about why they were trying to kill my family, I received several chuckling remarks about how their mechanics weren't out to kill us and they were certain it wasn't their fault. When I assured them that it most definately was their fault and I had the documents from GoodYear to back me up on that, they changed their tone. Eventually, after several phone calls to the service department (and finding out that the service manager Jerry Taylor had quit), I agreed not to press attempted murder charges against World Ford and their mechanics and they agreed to refund the $885.95 labor charges of the incompotent mechanic that did the work on our car. In addition, they agreed to pay the $101.42 that we paid to GoodYear to fix their failure. Also, they said they would refund the tax that Mrs. Rogan had not told us was included in the repair. So far they had agreed to refund $885 (labor), $101.42 (repair), and $94.05 for a total of $1,081.42. All they needed was the receipt from GoodYear for the $101.42 which I provided the very next day (14Oct12). I was assured that they would process the claim and have a check mailed to us. After a month of not receiving the refund, I called World Ford back and was told that Jerry Taylor had quit and they couldn't find my paperwork and so the claim had never been processed. If you see my above statement, Jerry had already quit before they agreed to refund the money. I was told that since Jerry had quit, they couldn't find any of the paperwork and I would have to wait for a new claim to be filed. Needless to say, I was at the end of my patience. Instead of playing any further games over the phone, I went in to World Ford and spoke directly to the "new" service manager Mark Sacco and told him in no uncertain terms that he would have my refund for me today and I would wait while he figured out how to do his job. Within 2 hours and dealing with Mr. Sacco's bad attitude, I had the check in hand and was out the door. A complaint was filed with the Better Business Bureau and several other complaints and reviews were done as well. Let this be a warning to others to stay as far away from World Ford of Pensacola as possible. As for me and my wife, we would rather drive her 2004 Ford Escape out into the middle of the woods and set it on fire before allowing World Ford of Pensacola's service department check the air pressure in the spare tire or do any work on the vehicle again. When we returned to Goodyear on 17Nov12 to complete the work that was never mentioned to us but was listed on the "vehicle report card", we had them do a good check of the vehicle to make sure nothing else was missed or was going to fall off. They ended up finding several more things the dealership service center/technician missed. The items included were: rear shocks were leaking, front struts needed replacing, transmission fluid was dirty and needed a check up, power steering fluid is dirty, the rear brakes needed adjustment an alignment would be needed after the work on the shocks and struts and the battery life was depleted and the air filter was dirty and needed replacment. I was not surprised to hear that they found more things that were missed by WorldFord, however what got me the most was they actually had mentioned they had to secure the air filterin properly as it wassn't when they found it on their initial check, which means they actually saw the filter and said nothing about it. They also marked the wear left on the brakes but didn't mention any adjustment was needed. If they were competent they should have found and mentioned everything, However did not and we were left with multiple trips to multiple places, multiple costs and parts falling off. I would like to, however, point out an employee of World Ford that was helpful. Mrs. Roberta Elliotte helped me throughout this process and she should be commended. It's unfortunate that she has to work for such a terrible company. More
