Davidson Ford is the best

I had the pleasure of working with Matt Rupp in Sales to trade in my 2018 Escape for a new 2021. He treated me really great. He is not aggressive and worked with me with ease. He explained everything very thoroughly so that I could make an informed decision and I very much felt that I could trust him. He was more than willing to work with me to make a deal that I was happy with so that I could have the vehicle that I wanted. I highly recommend Davidson Ford from sales to service, I have had excellent experiences there and will be a forever customer.

Congratulations on your new vehicle! We're very happy to hear Matt provided you a wonderful and knowledgeable experience! We're very lucky to have him apart of our team! Welcome to the Davidson team and we look forward to seeing you again!

Salesman was great. Service not so much.

Apparently a check engine light on a vehicle you purchase from them means that they no longer want to talk to you. Purchase the Platinum Warranty also to make sure they don't return a call.

Good morning, Bill. As we've mentioned before, there seems to be some confusion as to what happened and the appropriate action that was taken on our behalf to help get you into our service department. We hope your vehicle was taken care of and wish you the best.

Great sales

I purchased my 2018 ford escape on 11/23/20. I went through Matt Rupp. Wonderful person. He was very patient due to my work schedule. He got my car from the Watertown dealership and saved the car for me to test drive it for the next week. Matt was very professional, I felt no pressure to buy the car. Matt is a very personalable person. If you happen to go here please ask for Matt. Wonderful experience. 5 stars.

Poor service

Extended warranty on recently purchased vehicle with disappearing deductible if work completed at Davidson Ford. Within 5,000 miles had transmission fluid leak, drove in to get fixed. No loaner vehicles available for a week. Later spoke to "service manager" and discussed dropping vehicle off to be looked at, dropped off vehicle, recieved a call - was told covered under warranty and part would be in tomorrow, got off the phone thinking it would be fixed tomorrow, was called back shortly thereafter and told "due to the strenuous relationship Davidson would not be working on my vehicle and it was ready to be picked up", have sent numerous emails regarding this instance and other issues with no response. Terrible experience.

Car overheating

I have had my 1999 Mustang in the shop 4 times in the past 3 months for the car overheating. I’m very unhappy with the service - they never fixed the problem - they even recommend extra service repairs. $1700.00 and now it’s the head gasket - they want $3500 plus tax - I feel as though I am being ripped off - very dissatisfied -

Customer Service

I went in for a noise on my front drivers side front wheel suspecting a bearing. They said it was a bearing. They said it was the passenger side. When I picked up the truck the noise was still there. They replaced the wrong bearing and wouldn't admit their mistake. Very bad customer service and my truck still has a bad bearing.
