The price and the teams Just purchased a 2020 Ranger. I have purchased over 40 vehicles in my life. Best new car purchase experience I have ever had. The price and the teams follow through was excellent. Highly recommend Jimmy Norton and , Jody Storozuk in sales. A key highlight of my experience was w/ Oliver Espinal in the business office. There were NO surprises, and no pressure sales. The whole team was Fast, Thorough, Professional. They are straight shooters. HIGHLY recommend the Dealership for a car purchase. Kerry Marshall More

Thank You! I had a flat on the way to the airport and stopped in on my way back to St. Augustine. Craig Harris went out of his way to try and find a tire for me I had a flat on the way to the airport and stopped in on my way back to St. Augustine. Craig Harris went out of his way to try and find a tire for me but to no avail. He did make sure that all of my tires, including the spare, were properly inflated. I slowly and safely made my way home. Thank you for your prompt and courteous service! More

Best car buying experience we’ve ever had. Champ was upfront and answered all of my questions. He gave me the out there door price over the phone and stood by it.

Worst service ever experienced!! I typically don’t make time to write a review due to the fast paced daily schedule however, the multiple horrible services I’ve experienced has motiva I typically don’t make time to write a review due to the fast paced daily schedule however, the multiple horrible services I’ve experienced has motivated me to take this time. I have given this place the benefit of the doubt five times and each time the service, communication and organization was the worst I’ve ever experienced. I’m not going to name every instance. To name some; I had to constantly call for updates each afternoon after they promised me an update that morning. Takes on average 30-45 minutes to contact someone. I get the run around trying to get a loaner or car rental after they’ve missed 3 of their commitments for completion of my vehicle. Then they tell me my vehicle was complete/ready for pickup and when I arrive to pick it up, it’s in the air on a hook with my engine out. They keep the vehicle for another 2 days, I pick it up and leave with a completely different problem. Then when I return it to correct the problem, they want to charge me for it. Everyone is running around chaotic as they can’t keep up with orders which leads to lack of communication and organization. Other customers constantly complaining every time I visit. The driver is the best customer rep. Management needs to listen to the constant customer complaints and make a change. Worst customer service and operation! I’ll be sure that our 100+ vehicle fleet does not receive any services from this dealer. It’s more convenient to drive further and receive better service!!! Go to Lincoln Longwood! STAY AWAY FROM THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT AUTO NATION FORD!!! Unfortunately you cannot leave “0” stars as the rating so I had to give “1” star... I would give NEGATIVE 10 STARS!!! More

Very dishonest - avoid at all costs Had our new (2018) F-150 towed in due to an ongoing issue with the battery charge. Truck occasionally just won’t start for a few minutes. We had a di Had our new (2018) F-150 towed in due to an ongoing issue with the battery charge. Truck occasionally just won’t start for a few minutes. We had a diagnostic done at pep boys a couple weeks prior and the readout showed an alternator issue. This weekend, it refused to start and left us stranded for about an hour, at which time we called Ford, had the truck towed to Auto Nation and then rented a car. Auto Nation refused us a loaner until they could get to a diagnosis on Monday. We informed them about the rental and were told we would be reimbursed as long as a problem was found. In the meantime, our Ford decided to start back up again. The tow truck driver was already en route, so we went ahead and had it towed, because we didn’t want to be stranded yet again. Fast forward to Monday and we get a call from a lady named Amanda. She opens the conversation with “your truck is ready”, and of course we asked what caused the problem to begin with. She proceeds to tell us that the battery connection was loose and when the tech pulled on it it popped off. We have checked the battery cables on multiple occasions previously and they were not loose, so 2+2 does not equal 4 here. We explain to her that that does not make sense and let her know that we need a computer print out that we can see which shows that the alternator and charging system is in fact working properly. She begrudgingly went back to the tech to supposedly have him look again. During this phone call, we also let her know that the rear door on the passenger side has a problem with the door lock. Amanda, now clearly angry, repeated back “so there is a problem with the doorhandle “. I responded, “no, there is a problem with the lock, not the doorhandle“. She said OK, and quickly hung up the phone. It was very obvious that she was irritated. 24 hours later, and now four days into paying for a car rental, we followed back up with Amanda, since we have not heard back. She informs us that she decided to go ahead and let the truck sit overnight and see if it would start again in the morning. We asked her about the print out from the diagnostic and she said they don’t have one because they don’t have the capability of doing that. So, we go in to pick the truck up and when we get there, of course the rear passenger door lock is not fixed. When we ask Amanda about it, she becomes very argumentative and tells us that we told her it was the doorhandle. Then she gets mad and stomped off, sending her supervisor to speak with us. During that conversation, it comes out that ford will not pay for a diagnostic if the truck actually starts when it is there, so clearly there was never any diagnostic done in the first place. We wasted four days and paid for a rental car for four days, to get a truck back exactly as it was when we started. I’m sure it’s just a matter of time until we are stranded again, and of course the rear passenger door lock is still broken. More
