The RIGHT way to treat customers! Finally! Edward Kelley and Korey Hoskins were respectful and happy to business with us. Respectfully negotiated on two separate cars. We ended up very happy an Edward Kelley and Korey Hoskins were respectful and happy to business with us. Respectfully negotiated on two separate cars. We ended up very happy and were provided excellent customer service. We had a horrible experience at Ferman Ford Brandon...so made the trip to Bradenton...it was well worth the drive! We will return in near future for another purchase. Thank you!! More

Best Car Buying Experience Ever! I embarked on the purchase of my 16 year old daughter's first car with mostly nervous excitement and concern. I was immediately put at ease by my sal I embarked on the purchase of my 16 year old daughter's first car with mostly nervous excitement and concern. I was immediately put at ease by my sales associate, David Hannon, and was handled with patience, encouragement, and given all the information I needed to make the best purchase for her... a 2015 Ford Escape SE. From initial selection of the vehicle through the financing process and ultimately delivery and post-purchase follow-up, the entire car buying process could not have gone more smoothly. My daughter is absolutely thrilled with her new car and more Ford purchases will definitely be in our future! More

Bait and Switch AutoNation Ford in Bradenton Florida would not honor a price quote given by their salesperson. All of the interactions with the dealership were docum AutoNation Ford in Bradenton Florida would not honor a price quote given by their salesperson. All of the interactions with the dealership were documented through email, but they still would not honor their price quote. In March 2015 my wife and I were looking for a Ford Explorer. After determining that none of the vehicles on the lot would fit out need, we decided to order a vehicle. We came in on a Saturday to select all our options and order a 2015 Ford Explorer Sport. The Sales person who’s name is Barron Buck informed us that he could not give us an exact price quote until his sales manager came in on Monday. Monday came around and Baron sent me an email with the price of the vehicle. I agreed to the price and said I want to order the vehicle. Two or Three weeks later I received an email stating that I could not have a 2015 Explorer because Ford stopped taking orders on 2015’s Barron then told that they had ordered the 2016 and that I could have it for the same price as the 2015 he had quoted me earlier. He even gave me the Vin Number which can be supplies if needed. I then voiced my concern that I was counting on rebates for the 2015. A day or two later he sent me an email saying that the dealership would honor the rebates I was quoted for the 2015 on the 2016. It took several months for our order to finally arrive at the dealership. My wife and I made an appointment to finish the paperwork and pick up our vehicle for 6/13/2015. We went through the process of inspecting the vehicle, submitting the paperwork for financing and trade in. Finally they brought the paperwork for finale cost for use to sign. I immediately noticed that the price was too high. After weeding through all the different costs I noticed that they were not giving me the originally quoted price. I showed them the email were Barron had given me a price. They took it back to the sales manager and after about 15 or 20 minutes they came back and said they had fixed it. I took a look at it and all that had changed was extras had been removed from the price. These were the extra’s I had opted out to begin with. I showed them the email again and told them I wanted them to honor the original price. Back to the sales manager again. This time they came showed me a cost were they increased my trade in value, but had not adjusted the price to what was quoted. I sent them back again telling them I expected the original quote to be honored. The third time the sales person came back, he told me that I was quoted an A Plan price and I should not have been quoted that price and that they could not honor the price. There was a good $4,000 price between the quoted price and what they were trying to make me pay for the vehicle. I understand that mistakes are made, but they had quoted me the price over 3 months before the vehicle came in. This gave them plenty of time to notice their mistake and correct it prior to showing us the vehicle and getting us excited about driving it home. The sales manager came out and said there was nothing he could do and really showed no empathy for the situation and made it seem that he did not care. This situation reminds me of the Bait and Switch scenarios that used car dealerships have been known to practice. It is unethical and immoral. The dealership should honor the original quote based on good customer service and basic business principles. The sales persons’ names that were assigned to our account were Barron Buck and Jeanette Billings. Sadly I was to frustrated by the end of the ordeal that I did not get the sales managers name or I would have listed his name here as well. More
Ed Kelly from Ford Autonation is the best!! My wife, Diana and I would went in to look at some Ford Fusion's and we were kindly approached by a sales member name Ed Kelly. He was very profession My wife, Diana and I would went in to look at some Ford Fusion's and we were kindly approached by a sales member name Ed Kelly. He was very professional and knowledgeable about all of the car's. Both my wife and I felt very comfortable with Ed and knew that he would take great care of us. After finding the perfect care, Ed made the transaction very smooth. Ed is the type of person who treats all of his customer's like family and you can feel the passion in his heart. He truly loves his job and making his client's happy. We would highly recommend Ed to anyone looking for a car. He couldn't have asked for a better experience. Thank you! -Kenny and Diana More
I'd make the 400 mile trip from Atlanta, GA again!!!! I've never had such wonderful service from any dealership! My husband and I drove all the way from Atlanta, GA after speaking with David Hannon. He is I've never had such wonderful service from any dealership! My husband and I drove all the way from Atlanta, GA after speaking with David Hannon. He is the best salesman ever!! The morning my husband and I found our Mustang Cobra, David went out of his way to help us reserve the vehicle. And he also went above and beyond to send us pictures from his personal cell phone of the car because there were none on the site to see. We'd make the drive again for another car ! Ask for David Hannon. More
purchase I purchased a focus from another dealer. The car was junk, and still isn't fixed. We went to the previous dealer, who finally made a decent offer. We I purchased a focus from another dealer. The car was junk, and still isn't fixed. We went to the previous dealer, who finally made a decent offer. We went to autonation, who was actually trying to repair the focus, and they blew away the offer from the other dealer. I had purchased 3 cars from other dealer. I will buy from autonation ford from now going forward. Jeanette is awesome, as well as Jay and Troy. We were Drew's first sale. Go see them. You won't regret it! Alan in service is amazing too!!!
