I had such a great experience working with Taylor!
I had such a great experience working with Taylor! From start to finish, he was professional, patient, and truly cared about finding the right car for me. He listened to what I needed, explained everything clearly, and never made me feel pressured. Taylor went above and beyond to make the whole process smooth and stress-free. I highly recommend asking for him if you?re looking for someone honest, knowledgeable, and friendly?he really made the difference in my car-buying experience!

Ken Grody Ford is great.
Ken Grody Ford is great. Great facility. Good staff. I had bought a Ford 150 lightning prior from them and I had a good experience. I worked with Amador on both purchases. He was good to work with. I have a good relationship with them. I would highly recommend Ken Grody Ford.

My purchase began over the phone as the particular truck
My purchase began over the phone as the particular truck I was interested in showed it was 'in transit' to the dealership and wouldn't arrive for several weeks. Andy Morales was my Sales Consultant. He helped put a great deal together for me. Maritza Gatewood (Customer Specialist) kept me updated on the anticipated delivery date. The entire process was extremely smooth. I would purchase from Fritt's Ford again.

Great buying experience with Harrison @ villa Ford
Had a great buying experience today at Villa Ford. Our salesman Harrison Brown, provided excellent customer care and was a professional throughout the entire process. In fact, I must say that every person we came in contact with while at the dealership was very friendly and courteous. Thank you Villa Ford for making my F-250 Lariat purchase a positive experience! Additionally, everyone was observant of the Coronavirus PPE.
