Welcome to Parks Ford Lincoln of Gainesville, your local Ford dealership in Gainesville, FL, serving residents from Alachua, Starke, Ocala and Lake City. Sharing the Parks family name is a great honor since it allows our team the resources of a big group while still maintaining our down-to-earth, no-pressure car-buying approach. Our customers love their new Ford cars, trucks and SUVs, affordable used vehicles and Certified Pre-Owned models. But it’s not just our selection of quality vehicles that keep our customers coming back; many find our competitive prices, monthly offers, efficient auto service and genuine Ford parts enticing. Plus, we love helping our guests even more when they decide to sell or trade in their current ride. We’ve been the one-stop shop for Gainesville for a long time — why not stop by and see what we mean?
