The sales experience was very pleasant, Jeffery was very helpful in every aspect of the buying experience, He called while we were on our way to the dealership to give better directions than my GPS unit. Th helpful in every aspect of the buying experience, He called while we were on our way to the dealership to give better directions than my GPS unit. This was a cash deal so very little paperwork was required. Overall My wife and I thought this was one of the most pleasant car buying experiences we have had More
We were greeted by a salesman in the lot, we were looking at a BMW 330i they had. Firstly it was marked on the car at 4000 dollars more than they had it listed on the internet, so our guard was up at the st at a BMW 330i they had. Firstly it was marked on the car at 4000 dollars more than they had it listed on the internet, so our guard was up at the start. The car was nice and in good shape, so we asked to drive it. The salesman went in to get a dealer plate, unknown to us, some of his other customers had popped in. He left us waiting in the showroom for 20 minutes while he attended to people that came after us, my wife and I were so disgusted that we walked out. I called the sales manager to report what happened, he was unavailable. I have as of yet, never received a phone call nor an apology for our unprofessional treatment. -THE SUM UP- The salesman we dealt with needs to learn proper etiquette, this seems consistent all the way up the ladder. I would rather pay 2000 dollars more for a car if the sales process was professional and honest. More
We had an absolutely wonderful experience with this dealership and particularly with sales associate, Jemma Kechichian. She was a pleasure to work with and after driving foreign cars for 20 years, I a dealership and particularly with sales associate, Jemma Kechichian. She was a pleasure to work with and after driving foreign cars for 20 years, I am back to Ford, in no small part due to her excellent customer service. The 2012 Ford Focus is proving to be an amazing car and I thank her for her knowledge and great customer care. She found us exactly what we were looking for at the best possible price - we really trust her. Great experience for us! More
Avoid this dealer at all costs, both sales and service! This IS NOT a Nyle Maxwell dealer, it is owned by investment group(A1 Auto) and their quality and customer service absolutely suck. I purchased a $50 This IS NOT a Nyle Maxwell dealer, it is owned by investment group(A1 Auto) and their quality and customer service absolutely suck. I purchased a $50000+ truck from them at their recommendation for towing and all was fine until I towed with it! The dealer(sales staff) knew EXACTLY what I was towing and promised I'd be fine. 1st time out towing and the truck starts falling apart, collapsed leaf springs and a horrible vibration while towing. I took the truck back for repairs and this is when the BS started. The service dept tried blaming me for all the issues w/ the truck, stating I overloaded it, even though it was rated for MUCH heavier by Ford. They even tried to void my warranty which FoMoCo took care of. The only HONEST person at this dealer was the mechanic working on my truck, and after the General Manager BILL SCOTT got involved, this mechanic suddenly changed his story and said the truck was fine. It's funny how your mind gets changed when your job is on the line. Bill Scott is the head of all of the problems with this dealer. I have many saved emails to share showing what a low class crook this man is. All of his employees act like him, a used car salesman, crook that only wants to make a buck and then he is DONE with you, his customer! Ford Motor company has had so many complaints on this dealer that they offered me a free extended bumper/bumper warranty for having so many problems at the dealership level. They(Ford Mo Co) also contacted another dealer and set up service for me and recommended I stay away from Maxwell Ford. Live and learn... More

We would definitely used Maxwell Ford again and also Jeff Lynch who was our s returned our calls in a timely manner...stayed late to close the deal. We would definitely used Maxwell Ford again and also Jeff Lynch who was our salesman. They were not pushy. More
Absolutely HORRIBLE experience! I was looking to purchase a 2011 Escape or a 2012 Escape. I spent nearly two hours looking at the available cars on Thursday 9/8/2011 at Maxwell Ford. I indicated my desires b a 2011 Escape or a 2012 Escape. I spent nearly two hours looking at the available cars on Thursday 9/8/2011 at Maxwell Ford. I indicated my desires but basically located the cars I liked on my own as the dealer who finally approached myself and my parents in the lot was Charles Lewis and he could not answer questions I had (although I had already done my research and knew what I was looking for)and when I asked to see inside some of the vehicles, he stated he would have to go get keys but never did! I narrowed down my selection to two vehicles (a 2011 & a 2012). I went inside with Charles as my father and I indicated we wanted quotes for both of the vehicles I selected for 48 and 60 month terms. I was looking for a deal! I was inside for over an hour while Charles went back and fourth from his desk to the front counter and finally came back with a generic quote form and tried to tell me to lease to meet my terms. I told him no that I wanted to purchase at which time I completed a credit application. 20 minutes later Charles returns and hand writes my asked for terms on the back of my initial info. sheet and tells me to sign this to purchase the vehicle today. I told him no and indicated I would be looking elsewhere and left. The entire time I was at Maxwell Ford I was never approached by a manager or any other sales persons to help. My 65+ year old parents walked around the lot then sat in the car. It appeared to me that Mr. Lewis or anyone else was actually interested in selling me a car. I told him he had my number and call if he got a deal and quote together. I then requested internet quotes from Maxwell Ford and Leif Johnson Ford for the cars I was interested in. Leif Johnson contacted me by phone and email immediately and were able to give me quotes over the phone and with follow-up emails. They were extremely professional. I got a GENERIC email from Charles saying that he spoke to his manager and could meet my terms for purchase on the 2012 (although I had indicated interest in the 2011 & 2012) but did NOT give an actual quote. I still had NOT received a quote as I had asked for in the first place!!! I never had any other follow-up from Maxwell Ford. I took a chance after doing further research that evening and called Maxwell Ford, spoke to Charles and stated that if the 2011 Escape I was interested in was still available I would be in at 9am the next day to purchase it if he indeed to could meet or match (Leif Johnson Ford's)terms as Maxwell had the color car and options I wanted. Charles indicated that the car was available and he would be available at 9am Friday to work out the deal. I was there at 9am sharp and Charles finally met with me at 9:15am after his meeting "upstairs". The window washer was more friendly and helpful than Charles was this morning. The first thing I asked Charles was if the car was available as my father and I could NOT locate it in the lot. Charles had me go to his desk area and he began to ramble on that I was wrong and the car I wanted was the 2012 Escape 4-cyl. at which time I presented him with the sticker price of the car I wanted from online ( and the car he actually showed me the inside of because it was unlocked on the lot!) and told him that was the car I wanted and no other. He would NOT listen to me and when I presented him with the quote from Leif Johnson he told me that was for LEASE!!! Again, NOT listening to me nor reading the information I handed him!!! After another 10 minutes, Charles returned from the front desk, told me that car was sold and that he had in fact shown me a 2012 (NOT the 2011) and proceeded to speak to me like I was mistaken and he said "I'm confused!" What's confusing about, "This is the car I want, Is it still available?" Yes or No???? I got up and walked out informing him I would take my money and my business to someone who wants it!!! The entire experience upset me and I was even more upset when I received a call from Charles at 10am which states again, I was mistaken in the car I wanted!!! I have told every person who will listen today what a horrible experience I had at Maxwell Ford. I do NOT appreciate Maxwell Ford allowing Charles to contact me and yet another Sales person named Mike who left a voicemail stating he wants to work a deal! Where was Mike or the manager when I was on property trying to buy a car! If you truly wanted my business, perhaps you should have stuck with the Ford standards and showed me you cared by showing me the service department, talking about options, details of warranties, a greeting from the manager or even simply opening up the cars to show me the insides! (yes, I am very familier with Ford's standards as my parents just purchased an Explorer last year) They were lucky because they had a good experience at Lewisville Country Ford. I will be taking my money & business elsewhere and I would NOT like to be contacted by Maxwell Ford ever again! Perhaps if they were serious customer service driven professionals, they would have had a manager call me or at least have the un-trained and impersonal Mr. Lewis apologize for accusing me of being WRONG!!!! Anyone wanting to buy a new car, don't waste your time....Try Leif Johnson Ford, they call you back, answer your questions, are patient and willing to work with getting you the right car that YOU WANT!!! This horrible experience has caused me to even re-think my decision about buying a Ford!!! More
We contacted Maxwell through their web special site and were called by Jemma Kechichian. We were told the Escape we wanted was still available, however another person was present at the dealership with ano were called by Jemma Kechichian. We were told the Escape we wanted was still available, however another person was present at the dealership with another salesman, dealing on the same vehicle. Before we left to go to the dealership the other interested party bought the vehicle. Jemma was able to offer us another Escape, at the same price, but better equipped and that we liked even more. We explained our situation as retirees and were shown several options for financing and Jemma came up with a financing solution that worked for our specific requirements and saved us money. Jemma was professional, courteous, knowledgeable, friendly and did not pressure us in any way. This was the most pleasant experience we've ever had buying a car. More
Jeff Lynch was a great listener and understood why we were there and what we were looking for in a used car. He was willing to work with us on the price and made the deal feel very relaxed. Jeff was pr were there and what we were looking for in a used car. He was willing to work with us on the price and made the deal feel very relaxed. Jeff was professional and did not push us into a used car. He communicated with us very well throughout the sales process and then all the paperwork. We bought a 2008 Subaru. Shoppers should not go to a dealer until they know competitive used auto prices and then be patient and take advantage of "Internet prices". I'll go back and see if Jeff can help us when we need another car. More
Jemma was great to work with, very prompt & very courtesy. When she didn’t hear from me for a while she made contact but without pressure or strong arm tactics. She had things ready when pr courtesy. When she didn’t hear from me for a while she made contact but without pressure or strong arm tactics. She had things ready when promised, went over all the details and left me smiling as I drove away in my new truck. She further made a follow up call to make sure all was well and I was satisfied. She is A-1 !!!! What more could I ask for? I will go back again! More
Just purchased a new F150 at Maxwell using their internet quote service. I had done a lot of research up front, new what I wanted and had a good idea of what price I was willing to pay. I contacted ove quote service. I had done a lot of research up front, new what I wanted and had a good idea of what price I was willing to pay. I contacted over 7 dealers and Jemma at Maxwell was the only one who took a look at what I wanted, found me the truck I wanted and gave me a good price straight up. At the dealership, no surprises or strong arm tactics from the sales manager or finance department just a smooth transaction with most of the time spent with Jemma educating me on all the features of my new vehicle. I was really impressed with how smoothly the whole transaction went and walked away with what everybody wants,an honest deal that is a 'win-win'. Great experience at Maxwell. Stellar performance by Jemma and the entire Maxwell crew. More
