My husband passed away recently leaving me with a limited income. My 22 year old son, (in college living out of town, on his own, paying his own way) was walking to/from work and school because he had no tr income. My 22 year old son, (in college living out of town, on his own, paying his own way) was walking to/from work and school because he had no transportation. My 18 year old daughter is a senior this year and will be attending college in the fall. My husband left behind an old but nice looking 93 Ford F-150 which I let my son use. This poor truck is always needing service of some sort and once a week needs oil. On his trip home one weekend the truck started running hot, so he was once again without transportation. Since Christmas was rolling around, I told my kids that we would look for used cars for them as their Christmas present. We had been to several dealerships in our area, but didn't find anything we really fell in love with. At the first dealership we stopped at, there was not one salesman that came outside to brave the cold to greet us. (Bad customer service). When we pulled into Billy Howell Ford, we stopped at the road (which is the start of the lot) and started looking through the used cars. Not long after we arrived, Joe (salesman) came out of the warm building, braving the cold to meet with us. I told Joe what I was looking for, told him I wasn't going to haggle with him, I wanted the best price up front and wanted 2 good used vehicles. We went inside, I spoke with the sales manager, Gary. He understood what I was looking for, the price range I was willing to spend. Gary and Joe pulled up their list of used vehicles, knew exactly what we wanted and pulled around two vehicles that were just perfect for both of my kids. Gary was able to discount the toyota, because it had been on the lot a little longer and cut the price of the Jeep to meet my price. Gary and Joe worked together with professionalism, kind and caring for me, the customer. Gary went that extra mile and replaced the windshield in the toyota because it had two cracks in it. Knowing my limited budget, they filled both cars with gas. These two super people are tops in my book. It was a very heart warming experience to know people still care for others, listen to what they are looking for and help them in everyway possible. What a great team Billy Howell Ford has. My hat's off to them. Great job. I will definantly be back to visit them when I can afford a car for myself. Sincerely, Lisa Gunter More
Terrible experience. The price on the vehicle was great and the vehicle was nice but it wasn't drivable. You'll get a great price on a vehicle but they wont offer you a reasonable amount for your trade in and the vehicle was nice but it wasn't drivable. You'll get a great price on a vehicle but they wont offer you a reasonable amount for your trade in at all so I'd recommend them if you're paying with cash or just want to give away your vehicle. They first offered me $1000 for mine then if I did some stuff to it the most they were going to give me as $1800 at the most. My vehicle trade in on kbb is 2800-3300. They use something called black book that basically says they get your car for a third of blue book value. I believe they sold the car the same day but not 100% sure because they never emailed me back. So I wasted about 10 hours of driving for nothing. Poor experience, I'm just going to buy new and not worry about the hassle. More
First of all I do not have any affiliation with Billy Howell (BH) or their employees. Past experience with auto dealers has made me reluctant to deal with salesman. While looking at used vehicles I met J Howell (BH) or their employees. Past experience with auto dealers has made me reluctant to deal with salesman. While looking at used vehicles I met Joe Illesecas, a salesman for BH. He was pleasant, friendly, unassuming, and a down to earth type of guy, Never did I feel pressured from Joe, or anyone, to buy any of the vehicles I looked at. Joe answered all my questions with no intimidation or heavy-handedness. When I was ready to talk price on the 2010 Lincoln MKS that caught my interest we went into Joe's cubicle to determine drive out cost on the MKS. At this time I met , Gary Ladue, General Sales Manager and he too was friendly and made me feel comfortable. The most expensive add on was the new Ad Valorem Title Tax that Georgia enacted which is a onetime payment of this tax. I actually like the new law instead of being taxed on the vehicle every year. Both Joe and Gary worked with me on price and I signed on the dotted line to purchase the MKS. I actually appreciated both Joe and Gary's input in aiding me in this endeavor. Gary also got me a better loan rate than the company I had planned to use. The finance man, Bruce Castleberry also worked with me on that angle of the purchase. Did I get the best price for this vehicle, I don't know. The criterion to determine this may be the feeling you get when you drive off the lot with your new vehicle. In my case, I had a smile on my face when I left the dealership and still do every time I get in the vehicle. It's only been a short time since the purchase but I love this car. If I'm in the market in the future, I will go be to Billy Howell first. More

Stay away from the service department! They do not care about you or your vehicle they just want to get as much money as they can out of you! I have had multiple problems with their service department! The about you or your vehicle they just want to get as much money as they can out of you! I have had multiple problems with their service department! They replaced a mirror with a broken one; I came back two hours later and they accused me of prying on the mirror causing it to break! They refused to take the mirror off and give me the money back but they offered to replace the mirror but they were not going to do anything to make sure it works! They also made sure to throw it in my face multiple times how they are being so "gracious" for replacing it after "I broke it" Before this I have taken in another vehicle to have one window fixed (all other windows were working when I came in) I left with none of my windows working and they told me that when I got there none of them were working (I showed them what my window was doing which means they were working) they offered to diagnose the problem for another $100 additional to what I already paid to have my one window fixed. This place just doesn't care! Their managers are a joke! Their service wait time is awful! Most likely you'll walk out with more problems than you walked in with! I rather pay double getting my car fixed elsewhere than giving these people another penny! More
Jim was friendly, knowledgeable, listened and absolutely no "PRESSURE". These attributes and the Technology Ford has invested converted a lifelong GM person to a four letter word "FORD".

COREY MCLANE was always available for questions and always anticipated our questions. For example, before we could request a car be brought to our mechanic for a pre-purchase inspection, it was brought always anticipated our questions. For example, before we could request a car be brought to our mechanic for a pre-purchase inspection, it was brought over already. This happened 3x! COREY MCLANE was informative, sincere, pleasant, knowledgeable and professional. This was the most fun, easy experience ever. More
I was immediately greeted when I walked into the dealership. I worked with Corey McClane. Corey sold me a 2004 Nissan pathfinder in great condition. I didn't feel pressured to buy that day and I dealership. I worked with Corey McClane. Corey sold me a 2004 Nissan pathfinder in great condition. I didn't feel pressured to buy that day and I looked at other models at other dealerships as well. However what set this dealership apart from the others was that everyone knew what they were doing and you can tell that their staff were seasoned vets. No rookies. The staff was very friendly and I even received a free oil change for waiting in the lobby a few extra minutes. I worked with "Billy Howell Ford" for their professionalism and great work ethic. The bottom line is I felt that they wanted my business regardless of what vehicle I looked at. I highly recommend this dealership to anyone looking for new or used cars. More
