Step One Ford Crestview

I’ve bought three new vehicles from step one automotive stores since 2020!!! They weren’t the greatest experiences, but not catastrophic either as I kept going back. I visited the Ford dealership in Crestv stores since 2020!!! They weren’t the greatest experiences, but not catastrophic either as I kept going back. I visited the Ford dealership in Crestview today after watching a car, inquiring about it online, and having several conversations by phone about the same used car. It finally fell into a reasonable price range so I went in and wanted to buy the vehicle for my daughter by financing it. They came to me with an out the door price 6+ thousand dollars over asking price and informed me how much money they were losing. I explained several times I wasn’t doing that and then attempted to leave. They talked me back in and I made the mistake of letting them talk me into running my credit expecting a different outcome. Wrong!!!! They explained how my credit was excellent, but wanted the same monthly payments for the same length of times. I was not offered various rates from banks or anything. In the end they expected me to pay over 150% of the cars value with no explanation other than if you don’t like it, you obviously can’t afford it. The finance manager, Hank, spared a few minutes of his time to come out to tell me how good my credit was, that I should pay cash if I didn’t like it, after delivering the message above, . I declined. When I asked how much I would need to put down to reach my desired payment , I was told to do the math “$15 off per $1000 down”. I was informed that his car was outside of my budget!!! I appreciate his fortitude. If I knew then what I know now!!! I wouldn’t buy a $1 fundraiser candy bar from my new buddy Hank!!! More

Waste of time. Called Dealership and was directed to phone que and left there until it went to leave a message. Called back and got into que again, waited 5 minutes Called Dealership and was directed to phone que and left there until it went to leave a message. Called back and got into que again, waited 5 minutes until Kara answered phone. Very polite. I let her know I was looking for transmission service. She informed me there next service appointment was in January 2023. I let her know it was more urgent than that. She said there was nothing they could do. Totally unacceptable. Ford corporate should revoke the service if they cannot service people timely. More

Absolutely DISATISFIED and couldn't be more disgusted with the sales department. I saw their advertisement online for a $100,000 new truck and called immediately and spoke with them regarding the truck. with the sales department. I saw their advertisement online for a $100,000 new truck and called immediately and spoke with them regarding the truck. She called me back to confirm with me that the truck was not on the lot but was in transit. I told her that I wanted to purchase the truck and wanted to place my deposit to hold it. She told me that would be the way to confirm it was mine and someone would be calling. I called back 2 hours later and she said that John in finance would be calling me. 30 minutes later she called me back to tell me the truck had now been placed on hold for someone else. HORRIBLE COMMUNICATIONS BY THE SALES TEAM, DO NOT TRUST THEIR WORD...I would rate their service with NO Stars if it would allow it. More

Everyone I talked to during the purchase of my truck was amazing, friendly & very helpful! Kayle, Marie, Jason & Caleb are awesome. They got me approved when other dealerships wouldn’t even try or said they amazing, friendly & very helpful! Kayle, Marie, Jason & Caleb are awesome. They got me approved when other dealerships wouldn’t even try or said they couldn’t do it without a HUGE down payment. This dealership will definitely be my first stop for any future vehicle purchase! More

My 2021 F-150 has been in the Service Department for 7 weeks. They did not file a warranty claim until it was there for a month. I had to demand it be done. I guess I asked to nicely the first two time weeks. They did not file a warranty claim until it was there for a month. I had to demand it be done. I guess I asked to nicely the first two times. I have spoke with the store manager. He sent it up to the service director but after almost a week no contact. This is beyond disbelief. I guess it's time to get legal help.
