Honesty, service, communication
We ordered a new Maverick last year & Steve McCauley kept us informed the whole step of the way even though we are out of state buyers. We moved during the process which caused some issue with a rebate but Steve McCauley, Dustin McAfee & Brianna McCauley were on the spot jumping through hoops to make sure everything went smoothly. We are ecstatic with the whole process. Thank you Steve McCauley, Dustin McAfee & Brianna McCauley for doing all the extras to make this a smooth process.

The process from start to end was seamless and easy.
The process from start to end was seamless and easy. Maveric was very quick-to-reply via text as I was traveling for work; this was important to me. He and his team had expeditious answers to the load of questions I had over a three day period of time. Two-weeks later he's still locked in and being helpful as I get a number of options taken care of. No forced-selling in person, purely helpful and stated facts. Finance team worked lickity-split. The entire process was made easy and the dealership has a great atmosphere. Top-notch service center, too.

Best experience with a dealership I’ve had
Quintin and Kenny were fantastic to work with! They were patient and kind to my husband and I as we test drove many models and asked numerous questions. We didn’t feel pressured or rushed and they made the process a fantastic experience. We went to other dealerships to try other models (first time purchasing a SUV), but came back to this one due to their quality and variety of cars and approachable team! Quintin and Kenny picked right back up with assisting us when we returned and assisted us well into the evening. The finance representative was awesome too! He offered us a variety of options to find what would work for our budget and needs. Highly recommend checking out this dealership!!

This dealership has the best staff!!
We had to have our air condition fixed in our 2018 Ford Explorer recently. The staff at Tipton Ford were so kind and informative. They found the root of the problem, ordered the parts which came right away, and since we are a one car family gave us a ride home and picked us up when our explorer was finished! Big shout out to Vee Kuszak who was the one who made everything come together so easily!! When we are ready we will be going to this dealership for a new explorer! Thanks so much!

I've purchased cars from Andy Mohr since 2016. As a parent, when my daughter was ready to purchase a car, of course we went to Andy. It's a non-pressure environment. Jose is a great salesman.

Just bought a fourth vehicle from Capitol City Ford. Been going there since 2012. People are very courteous and helpful especially to someone like me that's not used to all the computer stuff on cars these days. Lol. Willing to help and answer any questions & help find the one right for you.

I had a great experience buying my car from this lot! The staff was super helpful and made the whole process easy from start to finish. They didn’t try to pressure me or rush me into anything — just answered all my questions and helped me find something that fit my budget and what I was looking for. The car runs great, looks even better, and I couldn’t be happier with my purchase. Definitely recommend this place if you’re looking for a reliable car and honest people to work with!

The team was VERY helpful in finding the right Ranger to replace my older one. Harrison spent a long time searching until he got exactly what I wanted. The team was great in all aspects of the process. Harrison also took the time to sit in the vehicle with me and explain all the technological details and set up FordPass for me. That was greatly appreciated.
