Bill Currie Ford

Purchased an F250 a year ago from Bill Currie Ford on Dale Mabry in Tampa. We initially had an issue with the finance guy when he wanted to give us a loan with a higher interest rate than what we were pre-qualified for from the same financial institution. We had to call Grow because he was swaying us to their finance terms and not budging on the rate even though we told him we were pre-qualified from the same bank and had arranged our own financing. We loved the truck, so we bought it but were not happy with the pressure from the finance experience. So fast forward now on to the oil change... got a call from Bill Currie Ford that it was time for an oil change although we don't drive on a regular basis and the oil looked good. They kept calling us claiming they were getting notifications from Ford, and they said they could come to us that way we wouldn't have to worry about the wait and their service department quoted $160.00. Now I'm a female and have NO IDEA how much an oil change on an F250 would cost. I asked if the price included all fees and she said yes. They showed up and after the job was done told me the cost was $227.53. I told the service techs that's not what they quoted, soon after I get a call from their office that there is nothing, they can do about it - the girl who booked it must have made a mistake, and she will talk with the service staff. You will have to pay the $227.53, I told them this was a 'bait & switch' and I would never use their service again. So, for those of you booking mobile service or buying a vehicle from Bill Currie Ford on Dale Mabry, Tampa - do your research and know what the rates are currently, as well as getting mobile service costs in writing. I have certainly learned my lesson. That's strike 2 for Bill Currie Ford and why I am making people aware of the poor business practice from this dealership.

Avoid Bill Currie Ford — Dishonest Dealership Practices Do not buy your car from Bill Currie Ford. This dealership does not operate with honesty or integrity. The finance manager outright lied to me — twice — just to squeeze a little more money out of the deal. I came in ready to pay with a check, but was told the price I was offered could only be honored if I financed the vehicle. I asked very clearly, twice, if I would accrue any interest before making the first payment. He assured me both times that I would not, and that my payment would be the same 30 days later as it would be that day. That was a lie. I was charged interest starting the moment I walked out of his office. To make matters worse, I never received a bill. When I called the dealership to request the payoff information, they told me the first payment wasn’t due until May 20. That too was false. It’s now May 12, and I’ve already missed a payment and have been accruing interest daily. This dealership cannot be trusted. They’ll say whatever it takes to close a deal — even if it means misleading the customer. Save yourself the frustration and financial damage. Buy your car elsewhere.

After trying a few dealers including brand named companies like Toyota, ONLY, Bill Currie Ford helped out a veteran in need. Bill Currie Ford holds true to their motto of unparalleled service. I was met by staff member Adam and finalized my sale with a Salesman Named George. The service was indeed exceptional from start to finish. At all times I was shown a genuine concern for my situation, needs and most importantly the right vehicle for me. The staff were truly kind, affectionate, and caring and George showed all the professionalism inherit of a true salesman. From beginning of my test drive to the final financing of my vehicle everything was explained in clarity and he ensured I understood the transaction. In every way it was exceptional service and I will be forever grateful to Bill Currie Ford, its professional staff and to George and Adam for their full support. I recommend everyone to give this dealer a first priority in searching for a vehicle and see these two fine gentleman for all their needs. Thank you Bill Currie Ford, Adam and George. From the bottom of my heart, as a veteran and forever customer, salute you!!

I guess I should have read the reviews about how bad your service department was before allowing them to take my car to install a lift, wheels, and tires. A job that only requires 6-8 hrs of SRT time has taken well over 30 hrs and has been accompanied by continuous lies, misinformation, horrible communication, and now faulty re-work. I will be leaving negative reviews like everyone else, just thought you should know. It’s time to erase your service department and start over. I literally could have completed this job in my garage at home in under 8 hrs.

My last review in this box turns out that I was totally wrong I talked to a man on the phone he was very nice and I apologize I can't I couldn't be more wrong about what I said earlier

If I could leave negative stars I would. An absolute nightmare of an experience that left me feeling legitimately dehumanized. Felt like I was a burden to my salesman after I spoke on the phone for an hour with someone about the vehicle I wanted and then drove an hour and 45 minutes to purchase it. They sold my vehicle trade in before they’d finalized our side of the sale and now both mine and my husband’s credit is RUINED because of the missed payments from my trade in. They kept sending us different documents each time because something was “missing”, and the prices and interest were different and higher each time. I begged the manager for help and it felt like our treatment got exponentially worse after that. The service advisor Zoie literally made me cry after I missed the appointment to have their employees pick up my vehicle from my house because I had an emergency with my newborn child. They promised to do a 100k mile service when they did pick it up, but they didn’t, and instead somehow used up 150 miles worth of my gas and left me with barely enough gas to get it to the station. The car in question has also had a nail in the tire that has been continuously losing air since I drove it home. And as a cherry on top, the GPS device that they installed without prior notice OR CONSENT (we went through the documents and checked) has drained the power so bad that we cannot even get the car to start with a jump now. I’m lucky my husband is a mechanic. If this happened to someone else they would be out THOUSANDS of dollars with the amount of work my husband has already put into it. Do yourself a favor and go anywhere else. I never give bad reviews and I always try to give people the benefit of the doubt but I am in the process of reporting this company to the Better Business Bureau because we have been taken advantage of and mistreated on almost every step of this journey

I wonder how many of these reviews are legitimate.Bill curry ford is by far the worst dealership in tampa bay, When my deal was completed and I came back to pick my truck up. I was informed that had a different and different size tires? So the Deal had to be cancelled, It took over a month and a 1/2 to get my money back; I Went to walker ford and Left a lot the next day in the same truck, The only reason I had to wait a day was because bill currie Ford inflated my income on the credit application. By almost $5000, so yeah, that was pretty strange. Over 2 months now and Ford motor credit still thinks I own 2 trucks and payment was late on the first one so they called and I explained the situation 2 days ago and am waiting on them to call back and Ford Customer Service is investigating. So 2 thumbs down 👎 👎 for bill currie, and Fiesta driving Josh 👎👎. Updates will be posted here and 6 other review apps. 🎁Merry Christmas 🎅
