Columbia Ford Kia stepped up to the plate to get me into my new new car in 24 hours right after the holidays. They never pressured me into buying and assisted me with trading in my old car. They are kind, c my new new car in 24 hours right after the holidays. They never pressured me into buying and assisted me with trading in my old car. They are kind, courteous, patient, and knowledgeable. The whole team was amazing. Adam Wanager was my sales associate and worked with me to find the right car for me and my family. My Family has bought several vehicles here and a boat and will continue to do so. The entire team and service staff go above and beyond can't say enough good things. More

Amended: sometimes you have a rough experience and the company never recovers, but not in this case. Columbia Ford recovered from a fall like an olympic gymnast. I left the dealership without everything " company never recovers, but not in this case. Columbia Ford recovered from a fall like an olympic gymnast. I left the dealership without everything "they owed" and communication afterward was spotty at best. Once the manager got involved, he treated my wife like a queen and exceeded any expectations we previously had, even letting her work from an office while her car got the extras installed. A+ service, and worth a second chance if you ever felt disappointed. More
