Took way too long to complete.
Not quite like my previous visits to Avis Ford. Main issue is that the whole process took way longer than past visits. Some of it was beyond the control of Avis Ford, some was just unforeseen until that moment. But it was a real test of my patience. My dealer as usual was great, the process not so much.

Nothing other than GREAT!!!
Bought/ leased numerous cars from Taylor Ford over the past few years, the last few from Brian Patton. I can?t say enough good things about everyone from start to finish. From sales team, to finance, to reception, to service and cashiers, I have only dealt with one thing which was minor and handled immediately and to above my satisfaction.

Doug: The Ultimate Professional From our first
Doug: The Ultimate Professional From our first conversation, Doug demonstrated a level of professionalism, expertise, and genuine care that set him apart. He took the time to listen to my needs, guiding me through the various F-150 models and packages without ever making me feel rushed or pressured. His extensive knowledge of Ford trucks was impressive, and his passion for helping customers was evident in every interaction. Purchasing my new Ford F-150 from Doug at Dorian Ford was an exceptional experience from start to finish. If you’re in the market for a truck, look no further than this dealership and Doug’s outstanding service.

I recently purchased an F150 from Dorian Ford. Joe Lapinski was my sales person. He made sure the entire process, start to finish, was smooth, stress-free, and expeditious. Joe’s approach and demeanor is friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. NOT pushy, And not that dirty car salesman you need to shower after talking to. He found me the right vehicle, at the right price. Cheers Joe, you’re a good human being and you will see me again! J

Kevin Emling Sales/ Happy customer
Saw used car on internet, stopped in to check it out. Kevin let me look over the car before approaching me. He was helpful answering my questions, explaining features. At NO time did I feel pressured to make a deal. We negotiated what I feel was a VERY FAIR PRICE. Car was handed over freshly washed and with ample gas to get me home. Well worth the hour and 15 minute drive. Kevin is a very fair, NO PRESSURE, friendly person to deal with. I would send anyone shopping for a vehicle to him. Nice waiting area, clean facilities, and free coffee too!
