SIMPLY STATED: My Best Vehicle Buying Experience happened here yesterday with Cameron Herring! It’s kind of a long backstory but PLEASE BUYERS PAY ATTENTION to the details of my experience because Cameron and this Dealership could save you $1,000’s of Dollars! For the past 5 years my household has purchased or leased 4 vehicles from a big volume competitor in Lakewood Ranch, FL and I also referred several buyers to them during this time. In 2022, I purchased a new Genesis GV80 that I had serviced entirely at the dealer's location. Yesterday, I went in for 4 new tires and while waiting I decided to inquire about trading in my car for a lease. I was nervous because I haven’t purchased a car on my own in over 30 years and never leased a car before. I explained many times to the Leasing Consultant, General Manager and Finance Manager my fears. I really need to hang on to my cash reserves and keep my payment as low as possible. For the trade in value on my GV80 they gave me $30,500 but I had to ask for more when originally I was only offered $29,000. Then, when I leave and return with a cashier's check for $3,650 “the only way to get my payment under $650.00” the dealership had placed a sticker on my car to sell it for $54,145! Now, I am fine with people making money in this business but WHAT I AM NOT FINE WITH, is taking advantage of a loyal customer who really needed care on this transaction. Because what I found out next is that the EXACT SAME CAR was available at a competing dealership in Saint Petersburg (45 mins away) CROWN HYUNDAI, that I could get with NO MONEY DOWN (just the first lease payment due at signing) and a LOWER monthly payment difference of almost $200.00!! Remember, I DON’T HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH CROWN, like I did with the other dealership. How could there be such a difference in the numbers? Sounded too good to be true. Well, it was TRUE and I canceled my transaction and drove straight to CROWN HYUNDIA, got the car, they even threw in a TIRE AND RIM PACKAGE and the payment was STILL LESS than what the other dealership said was “the best they can do”. ALL MY business and referrals will now be going to Cameron Herring and CROWN HYUNDAI AND GENESIS. From the moment Cameron opened the door for me he was respectful and kept me informed of the entire process which seemed effortless compared to my other experience earlier that day. Mark Bowen, the Finance Services Manger, put the numbers together EXACTLY AS CAMERON TOLD ME THEY WOULD BE. None of the back and forth and “oh let me see” or “well we didn’t know about this or that.” You know what I mean. This was just straight talk, real numbers and just a 5 start experience all the way around. What’s also really nice is they have a well outfitted customer waiting area with a world class coffee machine, complimentary snacks, WiFi and plenty of tables, seats and chairs as well as charging stations while you wait comfortably for your vehicle to be serviced. REMEMBER BEFORE YOU BUY OR LEASE CALL CAMERON FIRST to see what he can do. He is Certified in Hyundai and Genesis so find out if he can BEAT YOUR DEAL and tell him I sent you.

I love this vehicle. My 2022 Ford Explorer XLT far exceeds my expectations. Handling is great. Performance is far better than expected. Gas mileage is 26mpg combined average for the 16,500 miles I have on the vehicle so far. The interior fit and finish could be better and the original tires...not holding up very well. The vehicle is comfortable and always a pleasure to drive. I always get compliments on the exterior style. In my opinion, it's one of the better looking SUV's on the road. The rear biased drive train give it superior handling, better than anything I test drove. Chevy, Subaru, or the Kia.

While my personal Service Advisor had a personal emergency, the gentleman who took care of me provided the ultimate service! I always receive excellent service from the scheduling to the service to when I leave.

Have only had vehicle for 3 weeks but really like it. I’ve had F150’s for the past 12 years and thought I’d miss my truck, but I’m really enjoying this explorer. It’s more comfortable and fun to drive and the gas mileage is better.

5-Star Review for Brandon Honda I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to the amazing team at Brandon Honda for their outstanding support during my recent visit. A special thank you to Edwin and Jade from the sales department, whose kindness, patience, and professionalism made the process of trading in my vehicle incredibly smooth. I also deeply appreciate Mr. Ivan Colina, the financial service manager, for guiding me through the financing process with such care and clarity. Thanks to their efforts—and the support of the entire management team—I was able to lease a beautiful New Honda Accord with a deal that truly exceeded my expectations. I felt valued, respected, and genuinely cared for throughout the entire experience. I’m so grateful for your professionalism and compassion. Thank you again for everything! Rizwan Shaikh

Quiet, comfortable and powerful car. I have the twin turbo that puts out 400 hp. General gas mileage is 19-20 city and 24-25 highway. The only thing that I would change on this vehicle is that I would like to be able to turn off some of the automatic operations on a semi-permanent basis.

Elder Ford was great to deal with from start to finish! Jayson was my salesperson and made the experience very relaxed and easy! I highly recommend this dealership!

Love this vehicle!! Went from 2013 Chevy Malibu to this 2019 fully loaded Ford Explorer. Love the navigation, hands free phone, auto bright lights and Windsheild washer, remote start, sun roofs, back up camera, luggage racks, hitch andtowing capabilities, 3rd row seating and stowing, the Ford app, the Ford warranty, leather heated seats and steering wheel, and all the safety and other luxury accessories.

Desmond Siaw is an excellent representative for Lexus of Tampa Bay. He made the selling of my Honda Pilot effortless, and I wish others could learn from him. It would make the car trade-in or buying experience better for everyone.

2017 Ford Explorer. I love my car. It runs great but I have had battery problem and trim has blown off my car on freeway. Have not had a lot of problems with it.

I have bought 2 automobiles from Auto Nation Chevy this year and both time my salesman was Devin. He is very friendly and informative, and I would refer him to anyone that needs a car.

This is the first explorer that I have owned in nearly 30 years. I am coming from a ram 1500. I am surprised how comfortable this explorer is I’m really enjoying the gas mileage between 21 to 23 in town. I have not taken a trip on the highway yet.

I am happy with everything about my explorer. Get good gas mileage and is very comfortable ride. Traded my 2020 for this 2022. Love the color and have gotten lots of compliments.

We have a Ford Fusion since 2017 and it has been fantastic vehicle for us. In past week we had repair done on fixing the electronic security system, connected to the edge of driver door that was not operating correctly. Josh helped me with identifying the issue and also Jack. Veterans Ford did their analysis and tests to get to the root cause with their specialized technicians in the electronics area. We were very concerned as this issue is very critical for us to function correctly. I am so happy that the Ford team at Veterans got it fixed and all is running perfectly again. Because the issue was intermittent it made the challenge even more difficult - so my thanks goes to the whole team who made this repair a success. The team there takes the time to listen and help their customers to the very best of their ability. When I was in Ireland I went with my Dad to a Ford dealer there, where he bought his first car a Ford Anglia. Ever since then we have stayed with Ford for many years. I was given ride to and from my home a few miles away. I have no hesitation in recommending Veterans Ford to any customer. Patrick O’Brien

Hands down the smoothest, friendliest car buying experience I've ever had. Sean was awesome and so was the finance manager who stayed late to finish the paperwork.

Looked at many different vehicles, very happy with 2022 Ford Explorer. The Explorer vehicle is very roomy with all the comforts of a luxury vehicle.

Outstanding customer service and flexibility on Price. Large selection of vehicles and fantastic options given to Veterans. Veteran discount and other incentives that help the bottom line out the door $.

I bought my explorer a few months ago and I love it. I've taken it on a few road trips. Nice smooth, comfortable ride. My dogs love it too. Plenty of space for everything we need while traveling. I highly recommend.

I found purchasing a vehicle at Jerry Ulm Dodge to be a very pleasant experience. It's a very nice, modern facility with excellent amenities and a great staff. I highly recommend this dealership.

On my third explorer. Tried switching to a Durango and went back after 3 months lol. Great, reliable car! Super comfy! At 47k miles so far never had any issues (so far) except my hood started to rust but ford has a 5 year paint warranty so just had a new one put on a month ago and it’s perfect now

Mr Soto the very professional sales man no pressure. Gives you all the best possible options to make a informed decision . This is my 2nd vehicle from westshore honda

I love my ST all except for seating. I’m just not a fan of European style seating soo we had an upholstery shop up grade them. Sooo much fun to drive! Great gas mileage considering I’m a lead foot. And when needed you can put a full 4x8 sheet of plywood in the back.

Xavier is always happy to help and jump right in! He even helped taking my child’s car seat out and helped me get a ride while the work was getting done! Highly recommend

We have only had our vehicle for a short time but it meets and exceeds our expectation. We purchased the limited model due to the reduced noise inside of the vehicle

We purchased a 2022 Explorer Platinum one month ago and so far we've had a great experience. We needed the large volume of cargo space that's available with the third row down, above-average towing capability, and most importantly comfortable seating for long trips. This SUV has given us all of that and much more. Now that we're past the break-in period, it is such a pleasure to drive. It has a phenomenal engine, helpful tech that we haven't had any trouble using (with one exception -- see below), and a fantastic selection of drive modes. The one fly in the ointment isn't Ford's fault. We tried to activate the three-month free trial of the wifi hotspot with AT&T, but three weeks after opening an incident with them (with Ford Customer Support's help), they haven't been able to resolve the issue. I hope Ford partners with a different provider soon, so no one else has to deal with this. But that's a minor issue in the grand scheme of things. After a major purchase like this I often second-guess myself and wonder if I shouldn't have gone with one of the runners up. But not in this case. I'm confident we found the best SUV for our needs. Kudos to Ford!

Hector in the service department at AutoNation Ford in Bradenton, Florida was patient and helpful and texted me updates. While I was out of town

Wife's car ,working at home not many miles low 20k as of2024 June. Still I wonder about trans fluid because of time. Problem that bugs me is the radio. Static in AM off and on ,and of course the business station 1220am about the market. UGH!! Third lease of explorer, so low in miles ,made it a purchase. 🤞👍

It was a good experience, Nik when above and beyond to get the job done, was an amazing experience

I upgraded from a 2017 Explorer Sport to a 2025 Explorer ST. It handles better. It sounds better. It is faster. The interior is way better. The seats hug you. The infotainment system is fast and works really well.

Great car buying experience! Negotiated a deal with Nick over the phone. Went in, signed paperwork, picked up car and went home! What was agreed upon prior to entering dealership is what was executed. No add on’s or gimmicks and etc. Keep it simple. Car buying should not that complicated.

Although pricey, this truck is awesome to drive . Very sharp looking and runs fast! I highly recommend ! We went from a Flex to this car and it was a seamless transition.

I worked with Jake Thompson and if there was any heavy lifting to do during the sales process, he did it. It was no doubt the easiest purchase of a car that I have ever made. Thanks Jake!

Great service and all the help Thank you pete in service and I'll be back

I recently applied for a car from thrifty auto Sales In Westfield, Massachusetts, I received a call back from Mike. He wasn't a pushy salesman. He just actually was. I still interested in a vehicle which I was I've held off for six months without a car. I took a chance and I AM totally satisfied with the service Mike kept Istrate open and honest and I walked out with a 2021 Toyota Camry. I am very pleased with them. I would recommend them to anyone. I have troubled credit but they still worked with me. Thank you, Mike.
