When it was We leased a car 2 years ago from Bill Currie Ford and had an enjoyable experience - they helped us into the right car at the right price. When it was time to turn in our leased car, we drove over from Orlando and the staff was once again a pleasure to deal with. We worked with Jim Fox and Jeff Camara for both deals and felt they were sincere and genuine in their desire to help us. They are friendly, professional, no high pressure and strive to accommodate the customer. I definitely recommend them. More

Best experience in 50 years of car buying I bought my first new Ford in 1964. Since then I've bought at least fifteen more, from dealers all over the U.S. Far & away, this was the best, most p I bought my first new Ford in 1964. Since then I've bought at least fifteen more, from dealers all over the U.S. Far & away, this was the best, most pleasant experience ever. I was dreading going into a dealership in a new area (we recently relocated), but had been to Bill Currie for service when we arrived, and was impressed with how I was treated. The trade/sale transaction was done in a no-nonsense manner.Ken Lee, our sales associate, understood that we were serious buyers and that we expected some back & forth (minimal), but wanted no drama. After all was said and done, we bought the new vehicle and it was a total pleasure. George Doumit handled the documentation with equal professionalism. What a pleasure! The most pleasant experience my wife and I have ever had, buying a vehicle. I would refer Bill Currie and the gentlemen (and I do mean gentlemen) who took care of us, to anyone needing a vehicle in the Tampa area. More

One of the most plesant buying experiences ever! I was hunting for a new car, and being very upside down in a car I bought only to get me out of a worse situation, I went on a search for the car I ac I was hunting for a new car, and being very upside down in a car I bought only to get me out of a worse situation, I went on a search for the car I actually wanted a 2014 Ford Fusion. After traveling over an hour from Sarasota to the tampa area, I visited the dealer I last bought a ford at, brandon ford. There after asking for a sales person, I was told by him, my trade (a 2012 Focus Titanium) was only worth 12K (blue book 17) and that no one would want to finance a new car with rolled over debt. He wanted to run a credit report before even looking at a car. After being made so upset at how unwilling he was to help, I took my friends advice and drove about 20 minutes into tampa to Bill Currie Ford. What an absolutely refreshing experience this was. I was warmly greeted by Karina who I told about my bad experience and sweetly said "we will get you in a car, don't worry" and worry I didn't. We quickly found the exact car I wanted and worked out an excellent price, and I got exactly what I wanted for my trade. Karina was possibly the most accommodating person Ive ever met, trying to get me the most for my trade, letting me know the tricks dealers do to make price's look cheaper, and making sure the car I got was the one I wanted. She even went as far (because Im a big texter) to give me her cell phone to txt her if I ever needed anything. She even on a seeing hot day was nice enough to run around in the heat to get everything done so me and my friends could be in and out when we needed to due to time constraints. When I came to pick up the car she had it looking beautiful and clean and I cant say Ive ever been more comfortable with a sales person in my life. Karina is a true and genuine woman with a wonderful sense of humor and a big heart. I wish her all the best and I will be referring every one I know to her. She alone (beyond the awesome deal) was well worth the 1.5 hour drive to Tampa, and I know that I will be sure to purchase from there and from her again. More

Pushy, Selfish, Vulchers Just by pulling in you can see at least 10 salesman outside ready to pounce. They don't even look friendly. This dealership is all business and they Just by pulling in you can see at least 10 salesman outside ready to pounce. They don't even look friendly. This dealership is all business and they care about is their bottom line. I went in with serious intentions on buying an F-150 for sale with a good deal, and the salesperson immediately wanted to start my paper work for purchase without even starting to inspect the vehicle, assuming I couldn't afford the truck. Then when it came to done to the final sign my work called me into to come in early, so I took it as a sign to take a minute to consider. They 'offered' to let me drive it off the lot before finalizing the paper work, as long as I put my $500 down. I asked them to hold on to the paper work until I got off work at 3 (I was there at 9 am) and they said they would do what they could with the truck. I called less than an hour later to tell them I would be back at 3 for certain to pay, ready to give them my card numbers for the down payment over the phone, the salesperson told me to wait 30 minutes, and an hour later she notified me, 'car sold, sorry'. Just to exemplify their rudeness and lackluster approach to their costumers. With numerous Salespeople, Bill Currie Ford supports a cut-throat business environment that causes a poor rapport with possible costumers. They boast a 'family' atmosphere but clearly don't support one. If you're going in 100% to buy a truck or car at the price you saw online plus tax, tag,and title without driving or inspecting the vehicle, then this is your place. Otherwise I would advise ANY OTHER DEALERSHIP. More

"Hello, I can't hear you" My husband and I have been searching for the perfect Ford Explorer.

Bill Currie Ford had exactly the package we want (ok, with the exception that it has a moon roof we DON'T want, but not a deal breaker). In the course of our search we ran across this dealership, who had the nearly perfect car. Jim from the Internet department called me, and I answered. We had a very nice conversation until I asked him what the Z plan price for the vehicle was. Suddenly, our conversation was over. Jim began repeating into the phone, "Hello? Hello? I can't hear you" and hung up on me. I called back. Got the receptionist no problem, who put me through to Jim from Internet sales. When I said my name, again I was met with, "Helo? hello? I can't hear you." I asked my husband to call. THIS time, Jim said, "oh, I'm with a customer, I'll call you back with the info." Do I even need to say it? Of course he never did. I would NEVER buy a car from this dealer, with or without Z plan, and will be sure to tell everyone in the market to steer clear! Ick. More

I used Bill Currie 10 years ago and had problems. I tried them again 3 months ago and still had the same problems. I have 15 Ford trucks in my fleet and can not get basic service done in a day.

They are three miles from our office and will drive to another dealer. They are just that bad! More

I visited Bill Currie Ford to look at a vehicle on the used car lot. A salesman from the new car section was very friendly and took me across the street to see the used car. The car was in great cosmeti used car lot. A salesman from the new car section was very friendly and took me across the street to see the used car. The car was in great cosmetic condition.I loved it. We took it for a test drive, he gave me an AutoCheck report showing NO accidents and quoted a selling price of $11,500. I asked what reconditioning had been done and was told they thoroughly inspect it and fix what is needed. He gave me a list of what had been done. I asked if I could take the vehicle to my mechanic and was told yes, though they have some "really good Ford mechanics" that have checked it over. I made arrangements with my mechanic and the salesman to take it for an inspection, paid for out of my pocket. Understand that I do not expect a used car to be perfect, even when told it has been thoroughly inspected. Honest disclosure would be appreciated. My mechanic took one look at it and said it looks like it has been in an unreported accident. Sure enough and very obvious, numerous front end parts had been replaced.and/or painted. No way Ford did not notice. Furthermore, the transmission, oil pan, timing cover, valve cover and left rear shock were all leaking. The rear tires were worn to the base. I was shown and things were very clearly leaking. Total repair estimate, a good part due to the transmission having to be removed, close to $2,000. On my return drive to the dealership the check engine light came on. I told my salesman the findings, including my concern that there's no way their mechanic looked under the hood, or anyone with any knowledge of cars, and didn't see the evidence of an accident. He now told me that "their Ford mechanics" didn't do the work, "he" (the used car manager I would presume) sent it out for the work to be done and they don't report back that sort of information. I asked if someone could read the code for the check engine light or would that be too much trouble to do right then and he said yes, it would be too much trouble. It would have to go back to service and he didn't think they were there that day. (It was a Sat around 1:30--Service Dept is open 7:00-5:00) He told me that the light sometimes comes on after an oil change. Finally he told me that $2, 000 was too much repair work to be done and the car would just be sent to auction, where, now get this, they would get $10,500 for it. A 2007 vehicle with 98,600 miles, that they were selling for $11,500! Really? I'd like to sell my car at that auction! That was insulting. I knew at this point that he was done with me, was missing out on some NEW car commission, so I left aggravated and disappointed. I've NEVER written a online review of any kind but I grew more and more angry as I drove home. I felt deceived and like I had just left a buy here/pay here lot, not a "reputable" car dealer. Actually I would have gotten a better price at a buy here/pay here. Car dealers have a bad reputation and Bill Currie Ford is NO different. BEWARE. DO NOT TRUST BILL CURRIE FORD TO BE HONEST WITH YOU! (I am not using the salesman's name because I don't feel right about doing so online.) More
