AutoNation Ford Sanford

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. No hidden fees when we showed up to buy upfront and answered all of my questions. He gave me the out there door price over the phone and stood by it. No hidden fees when we showed up to buy the car.

Worst service ever experienced!!

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

Sold me a used vehicle with a broken airbag and a missing se I primarily worked with Nathan Evans and Jorge Florez-Velez. Over the years I have purchased multiple vehicles from AutoNation, usually feeling se I primarily worked with Nathan Evans and Jorge Florez-Velez. Over the years I have purchased multiple vehicles from AutoNation, usually feeling secure with the inspection process. This was the first time purchasing a car from Ford Sanford and I would never do it again. My Lincoln Navigator was in AutoNation’s possession for 6+ months and Nathan had assured me that it had been put through their in-depth inspection process multiple times. There was a delay getting the car because of a broken tailgate, he specifically told me it was because “they have to do the full inspection again” implying they want to make sure everything is perfect before sending it home. Despite this final inspection, I received the car with the Airbag light on, a missing rear seatbelt and missing back panel that was lost in the repair. Jorge did make false promises, which he later apologized for. I chalk it up to him being new at the time, not much fault here. Nathan however made me very uncomfortable by always providing me with vague empty promises. “Everything is perfect, I just looked” then followed up with we need more time. He did something similar so many times I asked to no longer work with him and to have someone else. In which I never heard from anyone in response. I had to reach out to them to complete the sale with Jorge alone. Ultimately they did fix/replace everything under an extended warranty. It did take multiple trips with 60 min + travel tim each way. They never offered anything to alleviate my time or troubles. Even though I suggested they should. Not even a gas gift card despite driving to them over 5 times. They even gave me a loaner once with a completely empty gas tank. This experience was less than stellar and I do not plan to buy a car from AutoNation again in the future. I would highly suggest doing a through overview of your car prior to leaving, we even found “temp repairs" in the engine bay after the inspection. Which is using a rag to get suction on a vacuum line temporarily instead of clamping it and they forgot. They are creating a false security with their inspection process, and I fell for it. You don’t have to. More

Talk about exceeding expectations.. From the start communication was great. I went in with the intentions of just getting in and getting out, and they totally blew me away. When I arrive From the start communication was great. I went in with the intentions of just getting in and getting out, and they totally blew me away. When I arrived Eddie, the sales manager knew exactly who I was and which vehicle I was there to see. Our salesman Sean, and finance gentleman Lee were OUTSTANDING! They did a number of favors for me which they were under NO obligation to do. I was buying the car regardless. They are the definition customer service, and definitely went above and beyond for me. I highly recommend. More
