AutoNation Ford Bradenton reviews

Sep 18, 2016

I've just had the best car buying experience of my life at AutoNation Ford in Bradenton, Florida, where I got an outstanding buy. Truly, I've not had an experience this good when purchasing a used vehicle before.David Hannon, my salesperson there, was refreshing to work with pleasant, straightforward and direct in his communications with me. He followed through when he said he would, and did not leave me hanging at any point. He went out of his way to get me the vehicle I needed at a price I could afford. And I just love it! I was pleasantly surprised when he even worked it out that some needed repairs were taken care of at AutoNation right after I purchased it at no cost to me! They say "Worry-free pre-owned vehicles" and they mean it!Every person I interacted with at AutoNation Ford was pleasant, direct, professional and highly customer service oriented, including the general manager Troy Brown, Rory who managed the sale paperwork, the service manager (so sorry I don't have his name) and Donnette Roberts, my service advisor/liaison (what a smart idea to have a service liaison!). I will certainly go back to AutoNation Ford when I am shopping for a vehicle in the future, for an unusually good car buying experience.

The service at AutoNation Ford Bradenton was great. Tom S was very attentive and efficient. It was nice that he remembered my father who recently passed as it had been his vehicle. He took care of the mandatory, but made sure I had the most up to date software installed as well. He also spent some time familiarizing me with the features off the vehicle. Thank you

Great experience over-all. The wait in service was a little annoying, but after I found out they actually were trying to troubleshoot an issue, I did not mind the extra time it took. I feel great and safe in my truck with my family, knowing they took the time to make everything right!!

Just wanted to make it known that i had a Great experience buying a car from AutoNation Ford in Bradenton Florida my salesman John was more than Amazing! He made my car buying experience so exciting and painless. We went to the dealership with small hopes of getting something really nice,but i was so wrong, my wife and i drove away in a 2013 Ford Escape loaded. John was really patient and very determined to get us in what we wanted. That day was the best day o ever had in the car buying experience. I highly recommend everyone to stop in AutoNation Ford to see John for your car buying experience, he truly cares!!

The sales person, Matthew, was very professional, pleasant and extremely efficient. He made my car buying experience delightful. He called me the day after I bought the car to see how I was doing and if I had any questions. I've already referred a friend to him.

From start to finish during the buying process and any service needed they raise the bar in all aspects of what a dealership should be. They really care about the customer experience before, during and after the sale. Thank you AutoNation.

I always ask for an appointment with Andrew Bilan and think that he is the best service advisor I have had at AutoNation. I feel that he always gives me the straight story about what my car needs and advises me about the probable cost - Very professional!

My vacation got off to a bad start with my tow vehicle breakdown 75 miles from home and 300 miles from my destination. I put trust in having my truck towed to the local Ford dealership for analysis and repairs. Michelle and her team analyzed the problems and provided me with an estimate on cost to repair the truck. She also provided me with their opinion that I had several pending issues as well. They had the truck repaired on time and for about 20% less than what they had quoted me. Nice surprise.

This was the best car buying experience I've had and I'm almost 60. I live in Naples and I bought this car in Bradenton FL over the internet and phone. My salesman Eric Hale was the ultimate pro. He had the car ready when I arrived. The paperwork took 20 minutes and I was on my way home with a beautiful Silver Mustang at the right price. What an exceptional dealer and sales associate. Do not hesitate to purchase you next vehicle from these folks. They are honest and straight forward. Greg H.

David Hannon was my sales person and I highly recommend buying from him. He found the vehicle I wanted and gave me a great deal on it. There was no pressure to purchase anything which made the whole buying process more pleasurable. David learned it was my daughter's birthday and went out and got her a present. I can't say enough great things about AutoNation and David Hannon.

We went to AutoNation Ford Bradenton on 30 July and are completely satisfied with our purchase. David Hannon our Salesman was fantastic. Very easy to deal with and went through many options as we truly did not know what we wanted to do. Once we decided to purchase, we worked with Rory in finance. Rory also made our buying process simple and worry free. Overall, this was our simplest, easiest and pretty much stress free car buying experience. Will highly recommend David and will be back again.

They reduced the initial quoted repair charge for a fuel pump after I questioned their parts charges which were typically dealership outrages.

The dealer I purchased my f150 from was not as concerned with my problem as AutoNation service team.I spoke to the service manager who assured me Michelle would take care me and she did. They underpromised and overdeliverd. I am so happy that my son purchased his first new car from AutoNation Ford and wished I had purchased my F150 from them. I will next time for sure. Michelle was awesome !!!!!! Excellent Service Department.. Thank you all so much for making me belive Great Customer Service is still alive.

I want to take a minute and thank Matt Mellquist for making our car shopping so easy. It was a pleasurable experience from the time we drove on the lot. Mr. Rupp and the manager could not have been any more accommodating also. We got the car we wanted at the price we agreed to and drove back home in the first new car I have ever owned. Thank you Bradenton Ford

We found a used Ford Explorer, 2014, on the internet; however, we live 1 1/2 hours from Bradenton in Fort Myers, Fl. We were fortunate to be able to speak with Dave Hanon on the phone who was extremely courteous and helpful. We were able to put a hold on the vehicle until we could get to Bradenton. Dave and the rest of the staff worked diligently to make it possible for us to purchase the car and not only get a fair price on our trade in, but get a decent finance rate on the new loan. We can't say enough about the staff at Bradenton Ford. We really were made to feel that we deserved to have the car rather than being treated "unworthy" as we were at other dealerships in Fort Myers. We would definitely recommend Bradenton Ford to anyone looking for a new or used vehicle. It is worth the drive from Fort Myers to be treated with the professional courtesy and respect we received.

We went to the dealership to look for a used truck and with the help of Gerald Hayward and staff we were able to get a new truck.

Came in for a scheduled oil change and possible air filter replacement. Work completed. Battery terminals needed cleaning. I arrived earlier (10AM) than my appointment (1015AM). Service took over two hours. Overheard techs in the customer waiting area say that they were "backed up". Do appointments really make a difference?All work and other communication were excellent. Jason Fuchs is recommended highly!

Purchased a vehicle yesterday from Auto Nation Ford and it was the best experience that we have ever had with a car dealership. The staff were friendly, helpful, organized, wonderful, and most of all they worked extremely hard to help us purchase our vehicle. Damir and Brandon went out of their way to make us feel comfortable and took care of all of our customer wants and needs. These two guys were great and I urge you to seek them out when purchasing a new/used vehicle. Auto Nation Ford you are the best.

My experience with AutoNation Ford Bradenton was a breath of fresh air. The salesman who worked with me was extremely friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. He went above and beyond the call of duty when searching for the right vehicle for my company. He asked detailed questions about what was required in order to find exactly what we needed. His patience, perseverance and tenacity was exceptional as he tirelessly searched the country to locate the perfect van, which we then purchased. I will certainly purchase another vehicle from AutoNation Bradenton.

We found a 2012 Ford Edge CPO online and emailed the dealership. Within 10 minutes i had received a reply asking when we would like to come look at the car and test drive. We arrived the next day and was greeted by Kory. The vehicle was parked out front waiting for us with everything ready to go. After looking at the vehicle and a quick Test Drive later we decided to purchase the vehicle. The transaction was painless, straight forward, and simple on all accords. Everyone was professional and straight forward. This was a great car buying experience.

This was our first day looking for a new Ford Edge. We knew we needed a new car but really didn't plan on buying that day. Our salesman Craig Rioux was so informative and took the time to explain all the options available to us. We took his suggestions and did some further research on our own. We came up with a package that would suit our needs and Craig was able to deliver in the price range we wanted to be in with all the options that were important to us. Love our new Edge!

I had my car in for service. A 2015 Toyota Prius that I purchased from AutoNation Toyota Pinellas Park. I have been too busy to get all the way up to Toyota. I stopped in and saw Andy Spenik on the service drive. As it turns out Andy was the parts and service director. They performed my 20k mile service to toyota standards and even made sure that they used a toyota filter and synthetic oil. What a fantastic experience!!! They exceeded all my expectations and did a fantastic job!! I definitely recommend this dealership!!! Keep up the great work and I will be back!!!

Thanks to the AutoNation Serv Dept for recent excellent service getting my motor home repaired and on the road back north. Based solely on pictures (which I provided) of the problem, the service department went beyond expectation with a plan to bring in parts early, so that my motor home could be repaired in one day. This service helped us avoid costly delays with our return back north. When in Florida, AutoNation in Bradenton has earned my business!

We have purchased two vehicles from this dealership in the past month, and both occasions were a pleasant experience. Although I don't care for the haggling that happens while purchasing vehicles, it seems the internet purchase process has eased that a bit, although you still need to know what the vehicle is worth. All in all we had a great experience with this dealership. Everyone was extremely courteous and friendly.

Kory in Internet Sales and his Manager, Scott were excellent. I was dealing with 4 other dealerships this week for a new 2016 F150, and the finalized the deal locally with Kory and Scott at Bradenton Ford. They were totally honest and very pleasant to deal with. This is the 5th new car I've purchased in just the last 3 years and the 51st new car since my first Dodge Dart in 1970. Autonation has the unique ability to pull cars from probobly several dozen sister dealerships in Florida. This makes it easy for them to locate what you want, exactly equipped to your specs, I made the deal on Saturday for a truck that was at one of their sister dealerships, and they delivered the truck to me the following day, Easter Sunday! Amazing. I can't say enough good things about my experience. I told Kory that he has become my only go to Ford sales rep. He is not at all pushy and he knows his stuff. His manager, Scott made us feel like we were family. I also need to mention Rory Verner the finance manager. He was very helpful and just as honest as Kory and Scott. Kudos to Autonation for having the best team out there!!!!

I leased a beautiful new Focus from Jeanette Billings at Autonation Ford in Bradenton. She was so great and made having to get a new car (usually torture) a reasonably quick and really painless experience. She actually looked for two weeks until she found exactly what I wanted and could afford, and there was absolutely NO car salesman pressure or nonsense. She was helpful, honest, so nice to talk with and very knowledgeable about all of the cars I looked at. Thanks so much Jeanette. I'll be back and so will my friends and family.

Until yesterday, I would rather have had a root canal than buy a car. Instead, I called Jeanette Billings at AutoNation Ford in Bradenton, 2 weeks ago, and she looked for EVERYTHING I wanted, and even better, exactly what I needed. I still dreaded it, but it was absolutely wonderful. I cannot thank Jeanette enough, and Rory Verner, the finance wizard, who even talked to the insurance company for me. All of the managers, sales people and finance people RoryVerner, Rick Rupp and Brandon, are so kind and hospitable, and of course, honest and all generous with good advice. Even the car detailer, Dave Hannon did such a good job making sure the car was spotless. Car sales is the most difficult job there is, and Jeanette acts as if it's a breeze. She showed me how to work everything on my great new car, made sure I got the BEST PRICE, and answers every question, any time I call. I will never buy a car anywhere else. Thank you so much to all of you.

My sales associate, Edward Kelley, contacted me immediately after I requested information online. He made it clear that he would provide me with as much information as I needed to not only answer my questions but help me select the vehicle that meets my needs. He was very cordial, friendly, informative, personable and efficient and no pressure. He made it so easy to say yes to buy a Chevy van. I would definitely not only recommend Ed but Auto Nation Bradenton, FL and will come here when it is time to purchase again. The entire staff is great! If you are not a "Ford person" don't let the Ford part discourage you. They have many makes and models to select from and will make you comfortable with your choice. Make this dealership your first and only visit to buy and service your car.

My experience was wonderful. I called about a truck and got in contact with John Nicholson. He was very helpful, courteous and always quick to respond. You could tell they genuinely wanted my business. Pricing was as we discussed and there were no changes or "additional fees" once we got to the financing aspect. Rick helped us with this aspect and made it a breeze. I got a great vehicle for a great price!

The staff from the salesman, to the general manager provided all the resources to help me find and check out my vehicle. The car fax was clean, but they also checked it out on their computers to ensure that my vehicle would be as represented, a trouble free used car purchase. I would highly recommend them to my friends. They stay behind the sales of their vehicles.

I worked with Baron Buck while purchasing a new truck at AutoNation Ford in Bradenton, he listened to my needs and requests, narrowed the search down to the things that worked for me and helped me get a great deal on a new truck. I'd highly recommend working with Baron if you are in the market for a vehicle!

AutoNation Ford does it different! Honest, upfront, clear information. Knowledgeable sales people and a great selection of vehicles. If they don't have what you are looking for, they can probably find it! If you can't stand dealing with typical car dealerships and the typical sales process, you really should give AutoNation a try! No high pressure sales tactics and they make you feel welcome!

Just brought my 2015 Ford F150 home from its first oil change. As always my Service Advisor, Dale Heider, and my usual Service Techician, Gary, did an outstanding job on my vehicle. I am always treated with the utmost respect and they go out of their way to make their customers feel like part of their 'family'. Got a great deal there (Thanks again, Michael Bolton) and the service is top-notch. Won't go anywhere else.

Salesman Ron Plaxa helped me find the F150 truck I wanted and did a fantastic job, He was very knowledgeable about the different features of the truck including setting up the MyKey features. Without his help I would not have this vehicle today. Everyone involved helped make my purchase a pleasant experience. I recommend anyone wanting a Ford visit and talk to Ron. I am sure he would be glad to help you.

We had to have our car towed up to Auto nation Ford due to a manufacturers recall that rendered my escape immobile. While there, for an obnoxious 4 weeks, the mechanics damaged my car tremendously! They fixed the recall, however in the process, broke MANY other things. When my vehicle was (finally) returned, the following things were broken: -passenger side fender flare ripped up/off. -Front passenger quarter panel dented and slid back enough to make it snap inward when the door is opened. -Damaged passenger side front bumper. -Passenger side headlight buckeled out. -Broken exhaust system. -Minimal power stearing. - Disgustingly dirty, inside and out. I swear they drove into something with it, then drug it through a mud pit and thought we wouldn't notice!!! It disgusts me! I'll never be back, you can bet on that! We were also told we would be reimbursed for our tow bill since it was Ford's recall that was the reason we had to have it towed in the first place. Surprise- we were never reimbersed. Very disgusted!! (Dale, the service dept rep we spoke with was always very kind. But this is unacceptable!!!!!)

My experience went very well, and just as I had planned. John Nicholson was my Sales Consultant, and did an EXCELLENT job. He worked very hard to get me at my monthly payment, and the amount I wanted for my trade. I had many, many, specific "wants" while searching for my car (I visited a Toyota and Subaru Dealership prior to e-mailing Ford) and AutoNation Ford called me immediately and began their search. The Sales Managers along with the Finance Department all worked diligently to make me an offer. Within 2 hours, I was signing the papers. When my car arrived, I was very impressed when John when he showed me all the perks on my car. In addition to many other things, he thoroughly taught me how to use the touch screen and steering wheel controls to change the radio, navigation, and phone! Lastly, all the people that I had encountered that day were very friendly and helpful. The dealership was clean, and the communication was open and honest. I couldn't be happier with my new ride. Thank you, Everybody! Thank you, John for continuing to squeeze the lemon until the seeds fell out. You worked very hard:-)#pinkplate#2016FusionOwner#Ford

The GM at Autonation Ford, Bradenton is Troy Brown. His team of Salesmen in my experience included Mike Bolton who was supported by Mike George. Mike Bolton knows his Ford vehicles, their stats and specs. Both gentlemen where accommodating on the lot and during test drives. The offer and purchase / negotiation process was straight forward and free of hand scratched notes and obscure definitions. Financing was quick and competitive with good customer service from the young man who's name escapes me.While I purchased a used Chevrolet P/U that day, I had intended to buy a Ford. Either way the experience was great and I recommend these folks to any car buyer in the area or willing to drive to Autonation Ford in Bradenton.

We had a really great experience at AutoNation Ford in Bradenton. The staff made us feel welcome without hovering over us and they were very open and honest as we discussed cars. I didn't get that oily car salesman vibe like they were trying to swindle us out of our money. Our salesman was top notch & we highly recommend Eric Hale if you go into the showroom. Not only did he track down the vehicle we wanted... he personally drove to the other side of the state to pick it up and bring it back so we wouldn't have to wait a day longer to get our car. Eric was on top of the sale the entire time and kept in contact with us. A week after we got the car he called to make sure we were still happy and to see if there was anything he needed to explain on the vehicle. Great customer service - Eric Hale was great and the finance guy, Rory was very nice and helpful too. We'd recommend Autonation Ford Bradenton to anyone looking for a car.

Buying our new 2016 Mustang convertible at AutoNation Ford in Bradenton, FL was a very nice experience. Our sales rep, Jeanette Billings, was very patient and worked diligently to find a very specific car and color for us. She was as excited as we were when she located the exact car and had it shipped to her dealership. There was never any pressure and hard sell, even from the Finance person, to add anything onto our purchase. We had been dealing with a couple of different Ford dealers in our area and farther away via the Internet but AutoNation Ford made us feel the most comfortable and there was no 'razzle-dazzle' during the price negotiations as we found at the other dealers. We felt like the entire staff we dealt with wanted to make it a special experience for us... and they did.

Jeanette Billings was professional and well versed in the options and functionality of the 2011 GMC Terrain we purchased. We drive from Clearwater to purchase this vehicle. There were no last minute surprises or snafus. Jeanette had our paperwork processed quickly, with no hassles. We were delighted with her service and would definitely recommend her to anyone we know who may be in the market for a new or used vehicles. She was a pleasure to meet and made us feel that it had been worth our trip.

I was looking to lease a new car and a friend recommended that I go see Damir at AutoNation Ford. I called and left a voicemail; he promptly called me back and set up and appointment to meet. Within thirty minutes we went for a test drive and had some pricing - Which was also the best price I have received. In the past couple of weeks I have been to numerous dealerships and Damir at AutoNation was by far the best in terms of service. I would recommend AutonNation Ford to anyone whose looking for a car!

2011 Ford Taurus, 2000 miles piece of CRAP!! I've taken my car in for a front end noise to be fixed at least 4 times with them "repairing" petty crap and calling it fixed. It was the 5th visit they claim they replaced major parts only for the noise to return a month later. Also, while trying to start the car it drags upon starting which they claim they can not hear or duplicate, however they chopped that up to my battery needing to be replaced which was a lie. I've had to have both motors in the rear window replaced. Here it is 3 years later and you guessed it, the front end noise and drag to start still remains. I drive less than 4 miles to and from work. There's 32, 000 miles on the car now due to being driven out of state 3 times. My consultant is useless, I call leave messages and NEVER receive a return call. On different visits to the dealership I've had oil left in my car from the mechanic's, a lunch bowl left under my seat and my car reaping of cigarette (keep in mind I don't smoke). I wouldn't buy another used or new car from AUTO NATION FORD if my life depended on it.

I am overwhelmed by the friendly, courteous ,employees who fix the automobiles & trucks for this great Ford Motor Company! From the secretary's to the managers such as Troy Cambers, Rick Rupp, and the many carrying sales people such as Patrick Calvary! It's people like them who provide the great company spirit and carrying concern's of the many women who have this terrible breast cancer! By the way, The Ford Motor Company continues to provide that extra concern also about this dreaded disease thru their beautiful pink mounted licence frame's.! It's been a long time since I had a Ford product to drive and it feels "GREAT" I truly appreciate the opportunity that was given to me by the concerns of Troy Cambers, Rick Rupp and Patrick Calvary! I know I wouldn't have this today without their help!!! ( Great job men!! & THANKS ) !!!!!

Bought a used F150 even though I love the vehicle the service to fix them items in the owe list still not been taking care of. There seems to be a huge disconnect from sales to service. Matt was the sales rep, there was a lot he did not go through about the truck. We have been texting each other about these issues and nothing gets done. He tells me to go to service and the service asst.manager Jason did not resolve my issues. No one seems to know who will take care of these problems and it is becoming very frustrating because like many I DON'T LIKE TO WASTE MY TIME.It's been three weeks and nothing get resolve...lots of promises but NO RESULTS!First time buying a Ford, love the truck, but very poor service department and customer service!

I bought a Ford Taurus2014.I had a problem with it but their boss(General Manager) treated me with such respect and honestly that i feel ashamed of what i did.He solved all my problems in less than an hour. I felt i am in good hands. Troy will make sure your voice is heard.Don't worry about the warranty issues if you are buying from them.Put your trust in their manager.He is unbelievably trust full.

The salesman Dion was very professional and went out of his way to try and satisfy us. The only downside I can see is the mileage is not as good as the focus we traded in for a 2016 Escape

I had put my dreams of a new car on the backburner because I knew I was upside down on my current car. I was getting worried about my cars age. I really need a reliable vehicle; besides me using it to go to and from work I also care for my mom and take her to all 9of her ers visits etc. I decided just to see if there were any cars that I liked. Low and behold AutoNation Ford Bradenton got me out of my 2006 Buick and into a brand new lease of a 2015 Taurus. I live my new car and my sales person Jeanette was great . The best was Rick Rupp the finance manager and Jadon Clayton the manager , these guys made my dreams of a new car come true.

I started out dealing with an Autonation Ford competitor in my area and could not get the deal that I thought was achievable. So, quest for a 2015 Ford F150 Platinum pretty much came to a screeching halt. Then, some months later, I took my existing Ford F150 into Autonation Ford for standard servicing. Got into a conversation with my salesperson, Michael Bolton, and told him my tale of woe. He asked for the opportunity to take a look at the deal that I wanted even though Ford was not offering any meaningful Rebates on this model of F150. They went to work and, after a few days, they had located the exact truck that I wanted (colors, options, etc.) and came back with a deal that was over $4,000 better than their competition. So, I dove in, signed the papers and drove it home. Since I took possession of it, I did have to take it back to install some additional accessories and was blown away by the dedication to customer satisfaction that they offer (thank you, Dale and Gary). So, all the way through it was an enjoyable experience and they proved that they are there to earn my business. Gotta give this group of hard-working dedicated people '5 Stars'!!

Car wouldn't start. Jumped by AAA and the attendant said the battery was less than a year old. Autoway installed new battery as it was under warranty without any hassle. Two hours to change it out but it was a busy Friday morning. Service Advisor was extremely pleasant regarding transaction.

AutoNation in Bradenton is the best. My name is Lisa Foley, I came in wanting a specific vehicle 2012 Escape XLT and in Gold. They had it. I knew where I needed to be financially and they worked the deal. My salesman was name Patick Culver, among many others, Rick, F & I specialist, Troy, especially Troy Brown "the head honcho, made sure the deal was done and I was a happy camper. Go to AutoNation for your next car and you will be as happy and satisfied as I am.

Dave Hannon was very helpful in getting me a used Sport Trac for a price I was willing to pay. There were a few minor repairs that I required, and he ensured that they were completed in a timely manner. Also, he facilitated a remote signing, as I live in Tallahassee. The truck was ready to roll when I showed up to pick it up. The only thing that could have made it better would be to have 2 keys instead of just 1. I would highly recommend working with Dave at AutoNation Bradenton.

My ford exp lorer went to service dept with 200000 miles and check engine light on. It needed major repairs. So we decided to look for a better truck .I shopped. around and then the sales dept called and had a truck just come in and it was perfect just what I wanted and a good price.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but it was a pleasure to buy a used car from John Nicholson. He made it so easy, and was so accommodating. I'd go back to AutoNation Ford any day of the week to buy another. Thank you John and all the people at AutoNation who were so friendly, helpful, and efficient in buying our car. It couldn't have been any better.

I have previously commented on the professionalism of the entire sales department, but this time my comments are aimed at the service department. I have never been treated with the degree of attention and courtesy at any other dealership than I have at AutoNation Ford (this includes MB of Sarasota, the Gettel Group (the worst), and many others over the years). My Service Advisor (Andrew Bilan) is by far the best I have ever dealt with. His follow-up and his concern are truly exceptional. There are very, very few people that I trust to the degree that I trust Andrew. I have been involved in the purchase of 7 vehicles with the AutoNation group of dealerships. The service department is one of the main reasons that I stay with AutoNation. They seem to actually care about the customer. How refreshing in today's business climate.

My experience with Auto Nation Ford was awesome. After many days shopping for a truck and many dealers later I had almost given up on good customer service, then I found Janice Lentini at Auto Nation. Janice went over and beyond to help me find the truck I was looking for and made it a smooth experience all the way through. Also the management at Auto Nation were great at making you feel you mattered and they appreciated your business. he next time I need a vehicle I will only shop at Auto Nation and will send all my friends and family there. Thanks again,

My husband and I had the pleasure of dealing with Autonation Ford this week when we purchased a CPO 2011 Ford Edge. Our first impression was of Craig who is a Salesman and was a pleasant surprise to others that we have met elsewhere. Craig was extremely knowledgeable, helpful and pleasant to deal with. He did a great job of making us aware of all of our options for vehicles but didn't once come across as pushy. 24 Hours after meeting him he followed us up with a courtesy call which ultimately got us across the line to purchase the car as we were considering looking at some others to compare. Once we had agreed the price we were passed to Rick to talk finance options. Rick, just like Craig was super knowledgeable, explained everything, but did not push us into anything. We hope that we continue to have the same experience with the service department now that we own the vehicle. Top marks guys, you made the experience great!

No pressure just good old fashion care in fulfilling our request in a vehicle and for a terrfic price. The entire staff including the managers were easy going, friendly and made us feel like family. What a pretty neat Ford Dealership, In the words of my children andRich P Granchildren AutoNation ROCKS!

Edward Kelley and Korey Hoskins were respectful and happy to business with us. Respectfully negotiated on two separate cars. We ended up very happy and were provided excellent customer service. We had a horrible experience at Ferman Ford Brandon...so made the trip to Bradenton...it was well worth the drive! We will return in near future for another purchase. Thank you!!

The guys and gals over there in the Bradenton Ford location are the best. To make a long story short , I purchased a 2015 Edge and while driving it home I notices some issues. The next day I stop by to let them no about it and without blinking an eye they replaced the vehicle to make sure I was completely satisfied with the vehicle and I was. Highly recommended. Everyone was very friendly, I felt right at home. Good job!!

While we had done a lot of research and knew pretty much what we wanted and the price range we were looking for, my hat goes off to the Bradenton Autonation Ford Team. Jeanette, our sales rep, set the gold standard right off the bat...she was punctual and straightforward on the phone, yet patient when it came time for us to decide/discuss things...this speaks VOLUMES as most dealerships are pushy and anxious to sell vehicles. After dealing with 10 different dealerships, we fortunately found ourselves speaking with Jeanette and Scott down in Bradenton. Without a doubt, the best car-buying experience i've had. Scott provided all the pricing and information over the phone, before we decided to drive an hour down the dealership. This honest approach, with the customer's needs in mind, coupled with a professional and courteous interaction, was one of the reason we decided to purchase our vehicle with Bradenton Autonation!! Not to mention that they were the LOWEST price of 10 (yes TEN) dealerships all claiming their price could not be beat. Thanks again to the team for making this a great experience for my entire family (kids included!!!!) Autonation Ford Bradenton will definitely be our first stop to look if/when a vehicle is needed in our future....Great vehicles, professional & knowledgeable staff, paired with up-front UNBEATABLE pricing...what else is there to say!

I embarked on the purchase of my 16 year old daughter's first car with mostly nervous excitement and concern. I was immediately put at ease by my sales associate, David Hannon, and was handled with patience, encouragement, and given all the information I needed to make the best purchase for her... a 2015 Ford Escape SE. From initial selection of the vehicle through the financing process and ultimately delivery and post-purchase follow-up, the entire car buying process could not have gone more smoothly. My daughter is absolutely thrilled with her new car and more Ford purchases will definitely be in our future!

AutoNation Ford in Bradenton Florida would not honor a price quote given by their salesperson.All of the interactions with the dealership were documented through email, but they still would not honor their price quote.In March 2015 my wife and I were looking for a Ford Explorer. After determining that none of the vehicles on the lot would fit out need, we decided to order a vehicle. We came in on a Saturday to select all our options and order a 2015 Ford Explorer Sport. The Sales person whos name is Barron Buck informed us that he could not give us an exact price quote until his sales manager came in on Monday. Monday came around and Baron sent me an email with the price of the vehicle. I agreed to the price and said I want to order the vehicle. Two or Three weeks later I received an email stating that I could not have a 2015 Explorer because Ford stopped taking orders on 2015s Barron then told that they had ordered the 2016 and that I could have it for the same price as the 2015 he had quoted me earlier. He even gave me the Vin Number which can be supplies if needed. I then voiced my concern that I was counting on rebates for the 2015. A day or two later he sent me an email saying that the dealership would honor the rebates I was quoted for the 2015 on the 2016. It took several months for our order to finally arrive at the dealership. My wife and I made an appointment to finish the paperwork and pick up our vehicle for 6/13/2015. We went through the process of inspecting the vehicle, submitting the paperwork for financing and trade in. Finally they brought the paperwork for finale cost for use to sign. I immediately noticed that the price was too high. After weeding through all the different costs I noticed that they were not giving me the originally quoted price. I showed them the email were Barron had given me a price. They took it back to the sales manager and after about 15 or 20 minutes they came back and said they had fixed it. I took a look at it and all that had changed was extras had been removed from the price. These were the extras I had opted out to begin with. I showed them the email again and told them I wanted them to honor the original price. Back to the sales manager again. This time they came showed me a cost were they increased my trade in value, but had not adjusted the price to what was quoted. I sent them back again telling them I expected the original quote to be honored. The third time the sales person came back, he told me that I was quoted an A Plan price and I should not have been quoted that price and that they could not honor the price. There was a good $4,000 price between the quoted price and what they were trying to make me pay for the vehicle. I understand that mistakes are made, but they had quoted me the price over 3 months before the vehicle came in. This gave them plenty of time to notice their mistake and correct it prior to showing us the vehicle and getting us excited about driving it home. The sales manager came out and said there was nothing he could do and really showed no empathy for the situation and made it seem that he did not care. This situation reminds me of the Bait and Switch scenarios that used car dealerships have been known to practice. It is unethical and immoral. The dealership should honor the original quote based on good customer service and basic business principles. The sales persons names that were assigned to our account were Barron Buck and Jeanette Billings. Sadly I was to frustrated by the end of the ordeal that I did not get the sales managers name or I would have listed his name here as well.

My wife, Diana and I would went in to look at some Ford Fusion's and we were kindly approached by a sales member name Ed Kelly. He was very professional and knowledgeable about all of the car's. Both my wife and I felt very comfortable with Ed and knew that he would take great care of us. After finding the perfect care, Ed made the transaction very smooth. Ed is the type of person who treats all of his customer's like family and you can feel the passion in his heart. He truly loves his job and making his client's happy. We would highly recommend Ed to anyone looking for a car. He couldn't have asked for a better experience. Thank you!-Kenny and Diana

I leased my 16 year old daughter her very first car last week - a 2015 Ford Escape SE! She is so thrilled! I could not have made this dream come true for her without the professionalism and assistance of David Hannon at AutoNation Ford. He explored with me the best options for my daughter, showed me various vehicles, explained lease v, purchase options and covered all the amazing features of this car. It's a beauty and we had a perfect experience! Will definitely be buying future cars at AutoNation Ford.

I've never had such wonderful service from any dealership! My husband and I drove all the way from Atlanta, GA after speaking with David Hannon. He is the best salesman ever!! The morning my husband and I found our Mustang Cobra, David went out of his way to help us reserve the vehicle. And he also went above and beyond to send us pictures from his personal cell phone of the car because there were none on the site to see. We'd make the drive again for another car ! Ask for David Hannon.

I purchased a focus from another dealer. The car was junk, and still isn't fixed. We went to the previous dealer, who finally made a decent offer. We went to autonation, who was actually trying to repair the focus, and they blew away the offer from the other dealer. I had purchased 3 cars from other dealer. I will buy from autonation ford from now going forward. Jeanette is awesome, as well as Jay and Troy. We were Drew's first sale. Go see them. You won't regret it! Alan in service is amazing too!!!

I purchased a previously owned 2014 Ford Focus at AutoNation Ford in Bradenton and had the most dedicated and courteous salesman, Dion Layton.First he worked hard to find me a new 2015 to fit within my budget of $200/month, but when there were none to be had, he suggested the 2014 CPO.I love it and with the remaining warranty and addition 12,000 miles, I feel I've got a good deal.

From the the moment I walked into the dealership, I was greeted by friendly staff, in a welcoming environment. It just got better. There was product knowledge ; genuine courtesy; deal making efficiency ; and professional integrity, all combined with interpersonal humour. The car I wanted was in stock, so the sale was concluded. Could not have been better, particularly after having had the very opposite experience elsewhere , earlier that day. I thoroughly recommend Autonation Ford.

He always responded readily to our calls and emails. We never felt pressured, but he always followed up without being pushy. The entire staff made us feel that they appreciated our business. The facility was comfortable, user friendly. from the entrance to rest room facilities to the availability of personnel. Even the coffee and cookies were great!!!

In all our years of buying new cars, our experience with AutoNation Ford was by far the very best ever! The sales person was pleasant, professional and knowledgeable - and not the least pushy. The management and all associates were such a pleasure to work with, and we came away with a great automobile. We will definitely refer our friends to this fine dealership. We look forward to driving our Ford Escape on our next "escape." Our thanks to a fine company.

After speaking to salesman Tim Betts over the phone and coming to an agreement, I booked a flight from NY to Florida to make my purchase. When my wife & I arrived at the airport, Tim picked us up and we went to the dealership to see the car in person and finalize the deal. The car was exactly as described and the paperwork was a breeze. VERY satisfied customer! Well done to Tim and the entire staff.

Bought the car on Monday, 11/17. Tim Betts was extremely helpful, patient, and knowledgeable in guiding us through the purchase of the car. There was no pressure to purchase any "add-ons", either from Tim or from Rory the finance guy. I would certainly consider buying another vehicle from them at some time in the future.

There was a little troubles with repairing some parts (not necessary for function), so Baron tried to solve the problem very hard. We are in the process, so I hope everything will be OK.

From the time that I made my internet selection to the closing was 3 hours. I'm in sales and every minute counts. I would recommend this company to anyone that is looking for Quality at a great price. My one concern is they to make sure all customers completely understand and how to work the synch process.also your system has a problem on ratings. It would not let me select all 5 stars on overall ratings. Keeps going back to 3 stars .

Bought a 2015 Explorer, great experience. I spoke with Baron Buck (Salesman) and told him what I wanted and he found the exact match. Great experience and a great display of top rated customer service. Great customer service has continued after purchase

Great service from Dave Hannon. My wife and I went to look and not buy a 2015 Mustang and left with one anyway. Dave was absolutely great to work with and answered any and all questions. Felt comfortable with him from the start. I usually become defensive when working with car salesman and this never happened, and I've been buying cars for 54 years. Everyone at AutoNation Ford went out of their way to make sure we were happy!

I have a 2011 Ford Fiesta that I get serviced at AutoNation Ford Bradenton...the whole staff, from the greeter, the serviceman, the cashier, and the other employees passing thru the lobby, treat you like family...they are friendly and are observant of your visit....they offer a snack bar section while you wait....the service advisor Thomas Somers, is very friendly, very informative, and very caring....I appreciate the service I have received thus far...

I have not bought a car in 10 1/2 years and was very concerned about making a new purchase, however John Nicholson and Troy put my mind at ease. John Nicholson "salesperson" really listened to what I wanted and my needs. I would recommend him to anyone. He's not you typical sales person, he is very honest and truly cares. He also make sure you know that after the purchase he is there for you. I thought at first yeah right, however he called two days later to check on me and the vehicle. It was such an easy process and I would recommended anyone buy from AutoNation FORD in Bradenton and see John Nicholson you will not regret it! Kelli O

We just moved to Florida from Wisconsin and needed to find a service location for our 2014 Ford Escape. We took our vehicle to AutoNation-Bradenton for our 15K oil change. While we initially thought it was taking a little long, we were later surprised to see the detail and quality of service. It was much more in depth than we had at our original Ford dealer. The facilities and staff were awesome.

This was by far our best new car buying experience in over 40 years. The entire staff at AutoNation Ford Bradenton were beyond courteous and helpful, no pressure, no games. When calling the dealership with questions or concerns, the sales, service and management staff follows up immediately. We could not ask for better service.

Absolute excellent service..every question answered,every need met by a professional and friendly team. I hate overbearing sales agents that make you feel it's all about there commission.Auto-nation ford sales team,with John Nicholson,you get a down to earth person that you can call friend.never over bearing.patient and friendly from the first step to the last.And even beyond,He has called a month later just to ensure that we are still happy.That's what I call a REAL CAR COMPANY! My Grandfather drove a ford all his life.And he told me that Ford is the best.Well,he was right. If it was good enough for my Grampa,it's good enough for me. Thanks Ford,you really have an excellent dealer at AUTO NATION FORD Your Friend Ron

I worked with Tim Betts over several weeks through phone conversations. Being a stay at home mom of 2 little boys didn't afford me the opportunity to go to dealership and "shop around." Tim made it so easy. I would call him or email him and he immediately took care of me. He even let my husband pick up cars to bring home so that I could test drive. When I finally decided on which vehicle I wanted, he drove it to my house and sat in the vehicle explaining all the features to me and then left it with us over the weekend so I could be sure it was what I wanted. When we decided it was the right fit for is, my husband went and signed all the paperwork during his lunch break on Monday. Thanks to Tim for being amazing!

What a nightmare. In my test drive, I noticed the steering wheel didnt feel right. My Salesman said the car had no issues, and they give a 51 point inpsection. I purchased car, noticed something was terribly wrong with steering. Bottom line, after pulling teeth, and car being at shop twice, its not fixed. I had to bring it to another garage. The way I was treated was terrible, no one could give me a price. I was told "Cost" Then I was told "Half of Cost" then I was given another figure, what does that mean? They obviously were not looking at an honest "hard number" of what their cost was!!!! And my car still isn't fixed! I've left messages, no one ever calls me back!!!They ONLY called back because I had to put a stop payment on my check! I refuse to pay for something thats not fixed. Mr. Niles tone on the phone with me was that at $650.00 and a free tire (because I complained, otherwise they were going to charge me for it) WAS A DEAL!! Wow! what a deal! I asked a direct question on the phone with him this morning, and never got an asnwer. That is why I am writing this review- to warn people. If I can stop one person from doing business with these snake oil salesman-- I've done my job- My salesman never once contacted me or did anything for me.

I purchased this car from Scott Briggs at AutoNation in Bradenton. Best sales experience I have ever had in all my years buying. They brought me the car to see due to my schedule and made me a deal I could not pass up. The long tedious portion you normally have with the finance manager was about 15 min from start to finish. I could not be happier except when I see my dashboard showing me I am getting 109 MPG!!!!

Our sales person was Scott McGrath. We was wonderful! he did his best to find exactly what we wanted in our price range.My husband and I went to look at a car I'd seen a few days before,when we got their Mr McGrath told us they had also gotten in a mountaineer he thought we might like. He was right! We loved it! We decided to sleep on it before making suck a large purchase,which was our mistake,because by the next afternoon the Mountaineer had been sold! We ended up finding a car elsewhere as there was not any used cars at that point,with the mileage and cost we needed, I would go back to this dealer though,they were very honest and up front. Mr McGrath let me know of any cars that came in he thought we might like,before we ended up finding a car elsewhere. I would highly recommend this dealer and Scott McGrath if you can get him for your sales man!

This dealer's sales 'managers' (Brown and Coplon) can not keep their word. Remarkably, a new truck which was 'a week away' when the deal was cut couldn't be produced when it came time to do paperwork. They apparently have no problem telling a customer whatever is necessary to get you 1) into the store or 2) to get your 'yes' but can't seem to do sufficient homework to know if they can actually deliver on their promise. A truly disappointing waste of time. Forget the hype and steer clear.

I had spent 3 days online with dealers all over the state, and when I contacted Autonation,the salesman Tim said, "come on in, I can get you anything in the state from any other dealer no charge if we don't have what you want!" We'll go in I did. Whooped over their stock and picked out a couple possibles, looked statewide with him to see availability and prices. Autonation had the best prices statewide! I was purchasing a surprise gift, so Tim brought my two maybes up front side by side for the owner to pick from. "Awesome Deal, Great salesman, would recommend them to anyone.

We were 100% satisfied with our trade in price, our new truck price and the way we were treated by all of the friendly staff. I would highly recommend AutoNation Ford to anyone looking for a fair deal to purchase a truck or car.

This was the first time buying a vehicle that I didn't have anxiety. Shawn's "no pressure let's find what you want" approach was so refreshing. I immediately felt comfortable. From the first contact online with Tim Betts to the final close of the deal my whole experience was truly top notch. And what a nice touch to have the sales manager Troy present me with the car cleaning kit as a thank you gift...really classy move guys! Thanks Bruce

Mike explained the breakdown of prices for me and was very excited for me to sign the papers. Everyone worked really great as a team in helping me to get into this vehicle. I would highly recommend this dealership.

I came in on a saturday with no appointment. My car would not start and stay running, Charles in the service department did not hesitate to assist me and get me back on the road. He was able to get a technician to not only work on my vehicle but to get it done in a timely manner. I would recommend all my friends and family to come see this young man.

Ordered a new Flex thru Brandon Harvey at Autonation because the color We wanted was not available nearby. The negotiations were pretty straight forward as I was an X plan buyer. Delivery time was as promised. This was our third vehicle and second Flex from AutoNation. Anyone looking for a fantastic vehicle can't go wrong with a Ford Flex. Awesome crossover!! Ride and quietness second to none. Brandon was very pleasant to work with and kept me posted as to the progress of my build.

My husband and I stopped at AutoNation Ford to get an extended warranty on our 2011 Explorer. We spoke with Shawn York, he was very friendly and made us feel comfortable. He explained some of the specials that was going on for the 2013 models. He went over our options of getting a new car with no mileage verses old car with mileage. I drove the 2013 Ford Flex, it was easy to drive and very comfortable to ride in. There was plenty of head and foot room. Shawn was very helpful finding us the car that we wanted, plus the options that were important to us. He took the time with us and got the monthly payment that was comfortable for our budget. We will be referring our friends to Shawn York for any car purchases. We were very satisfied with our purchasing experience.

I had moved here from Michigan and the dealer in Michigan was not able to fix the oil leaks for a month. I brought my vehicle to AutoNation Ford and they verified that I indeed did have an oil leak. I had to return and my vehicle was kept for two days, but the problem was fixed. I might add this was supposed to have been fixed by the dealer in Michigan, but was not. I was very pleased with the service I received and I might add that Jay did call me to keep me posted on the progress and about when my vehicle would be ready for pickup. She was right on the money with all the details. Like I said the experience was good and I will definitely return for any service needed on my vehicle to AutoNation Ford.

Dru Pettifer was my introduction to AutoNation Ford; Bradenton, FL. What a professional she is! From the start Dru took the ball and ran with it! There was no time during the purchasing process that I was not kept totally informed! Dru is a tremendous asset to this dealership! When I went to pick up my car, Dru was on a well deserved vacation. Although Dru was on vacation, she kept in touch with me in case I had any questions. Dru's follow through was the best I have seen anywhere! I am 73 years old. I have purchased a bunch of cars during my life at different dealerships throughout the US. So, I feel I am qualified to make that statement! Dru was just the start of a very pleasant buying experience at this dealership! Everyone involved with this dealership was top notch! If someone is looking for a great dealership to deal with, this is the one. I drove from Kissimmee to Bradenton about a 2 hour drive. I am extremely happy that I did! You will be glad you did too!

Damir Glavan helped us once again with our recent F-150 purchase, our second new vehicle from Autoway. His patient, but thorough approach helped us negotiate a travel schedule that had us frequently out of town and unavailable to see our options. But his persistent communication by phone, email, and text kept us advised of what was possible. He found us a vehicle with the right combination of colors and features we wanted, and had it ready for us in time for yet another departure. It was all good! Damir understood exactly what we were looking for, and did not waste time, his or ours, with inappropriate suggestions. Thanks!

Marc Kassel was a pleasure to work with, attentive, personal, experienced, no pressure, no gaming, no wasting of time in negotiating to a price that met my expectation. Troy Brown, the general manager sits in the showroom, closest to the showroom floor and is interactive in providing a service to meet your needs. After the deal, they made sure my vehicle was as perfect upon delivery as I expected. Recommend this team highly.

Shawn York returned our call almost immediatley, and let us know he had two different shades of red and invited us in to have a look. Fell in love with the race red and returned a couple days later and bought it. Shawn answered all questions we had, got us a good deal and was very professional.

We purchased 4/30/13 and the personnel could not have been any more polite and friendly. We were given the opportunity to drive several vehicles where we wanted, not their chosen course, we were not rushed, we both were allowed to drive and as we negotiated price, we were treated very fairly and respectfully. There was a small glitch with paperwork but the salesman took the time to reach me on the job and brought the paperwork with him for me to sign, with apologies all around. Over all the experience was wonderful. Auto Nation Ford Bradenton FL.

I had a unique experience at Autoway. I met a sales guide, Dru, who was fantastic. We purchased a new Ford Explorer, but it had a unusual, very slight manufacturer flaw that was to be fixed. After we finalized our purchase, the body shop determined that the flaw could not be fixed. Our sales guide Dru worked tirelessly to try to find us another vehicle. In the end, we were unable to find the right car at Autoway, but I'm happy to say that the associates and managers at Autoway proved to be incredibly fair and honest. Because we ended up finding a car at another dealership, Autoway issued us a complete refund for our original purchase with no hassle. They even transported my trade-in directly to the other dealership! The folks at Autoway have incredible integrity, and I would highly recommend anyone to purchase their next Ford at their location. Go to Autoway first, before all others!

Went above and beyond to bring in the right car at the right price. Worked with me for three days. Excellent dealership!!! Every person encountered did an outstandig job. No one rushed me. They have a very large selection of vehicles and can get a vehicle from any of their other locations (mine came from the east coast). They did everything to get me exactly what I wanted at the best price. This dealership truly adds value. All four of these folks worked together to make the best deal possible (which resulted in one 'very' satisfied customer.) When you are in the market for a car, I highly suggest paying them a visit.

Jennifer and the Service Department at Autoway Ford are outstanding. The vehicles are taken in, diagnosed, repaired, and returned in a timely manner. The issues are remedied professionally and the price never goes out of budget. I appreciate the excellent and professional service. Thank you, Kristin M. Calkins

Our company has used Autoway Ford of Bradenton for years now and they continue to earn our business. Through the years we have continued to use them because of their upfront approach and how easy the buying process has been. What has continued to bring us back after the sale is their excellent service department with attention from representatives like Jennifer and their timeliness of repairs. Overall they run a great business and we continue to refer people to them because it.

Heather Raney Helped me with the paper work when I bought a used car. She was helpful with getting financing for me. I had to leave in the middle to get the paper work that I needed. When I returned she was able to finish with out further delay. I had bought a used car from them before.

I have now purchased three cars from Autoway Ford. I first met Heather three years ago when I purchased a car for my daughter. She was new to the business but still answered every question I had with a smile. I enjoyed working with her so much when I went to buy my wife a car a year and a half later I went straight to Autoway to work with Heather. That experience was just as fantastic as the first. I recently went in to buy a car for myself. I was a little disappointed that Heather had been promoted to finance and could not be my sales person. However, she introduced me to Shawn and followed the whole process to make sure everything went well. I was impress like before with her professionalism in her new role even though she was new to it. I will go to Autoway for all of my cars as long as she is there.

We purchased a new Ford c-max on our recent trip to our home in Bradenton. We are very happy with the car. Mark Kassel was our salesperson and did a great job working with us. He was very knowledgable re the car and its technology and was the primary reason we decided to purchase the car.

One of the best and easiest experiences I had at a dealership. My salesman Tim Bets went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable in the process of buying my truck. I would recommend AutoWay Ford to all my friends and family. Thanks Autoway

Shawn was very helpful and professional. He communicated well and was able to get the vehicle we hoped for in a timely manner. He was personable and very friendly... which makes all the difference in a car buying experience. Aside from selling us a great vehicle, Shawn escorted us to the gas station and paid for our first tank of gas. Overall, we were very impressed with Shawn and the AutoWay Team.

This is the 4th vehicle that I have purchased from the AutoNation group. Everyone at the dealerships, on all occasions, showed a genuine interest in helping us get the correct vehicle for our needs. They valued my time and kept the sales process professional and simple. No last minute surprises or add-ons. They run dealerships the way that dealerships should be run.

I walked in to the AutoWay Ford with pretty low hopes of finding a great deal. I am only 20 years old and have a short credit history. My family is growing as I have a wife and a 4 month old daughter. My wife and I were browsing through the lot when Brett walked up to us and started showing us various vehicles that were definitely within our budget. My wife and immediately knew that we wanted the Toyota Matrix they had for sale (used). Then came the hard part. We needed to see if I could get a good financing deal. It took a little while, but it was well worth the wait. We ended up getting 3% of a lower interest rate than we thought and it brought our monthly payments down lower than we were expecting. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and I have now become a loyal customer. Whenever we're ready for another car I'm sure to go to AutoWay Ford in Bradenton. The customer service was great and their employees couldn't be more knowledgeable and personable. I will definitely recommend them to everyone that I know!-OneHappyCustomer

Walked in after work and Marc Kassel was available to help me. Had an idea which vehicle I wanted from online inventory. Was initially worried when they couldn't find the vehicle but Marc was persistant and tracked it down.They stayed until everything was explained and set up even though it was after closing.I could tell everyone was tired but they remained upbeat and smiling. Marc was diligent and helpful through the process. So that when I went to pick up the vehicle everything was smooth and fast. I appreciated the attention I received.

I initially went to Autoway Ford to trade my 2011 Chevy Malibu for a USED Ford Edge. Upon my arrival, I was immediately greeted at the door by Marc Kassel and The first thing I told him was that I was interested in a USED Ford Edge BUT wanted an appraisal done on my Malibu first before I went any further. Previous dealerships I had went to, didn't listen to me and Immediately tried to sell me something before even taking a second look at my trade-in. Marc didnt. He did exactly as I asked. To my surprise, Autoway Ford offered me significantly MORE on my CHEVROLET Malibu than even the local Chevy dealer where I purchased the car. So of course, I then wanted to check out the Edge's Autoway had. I told Marc what I wanted and within about 5 minutes, he had a whole list of Edge's that were exactly what I asked for. As we were walking back inside from looking at the USED Edge's, Marc stopped us for a moment at a NEW 2013 Edge and brought the price of the NEW Ford Edge to my attention, and then we moved on. He never pushed the NEW Edge on to me or anything, just simply gave it as a better option considering the low price. I was immediately interested in the New Edge and purchased it.Most dealerships try to push something onto you that you dont necessarily want or cant afford, But Marc didnt do this. IF you are looking for a new or used vehicle, Marc Kassel at Autoway Ford is who you should go see. I guarantee you wont be disappointed. My 2013 Ford Edge is by far the BEST vehicle Ive ever had. And I have it thanks to Marc Kassel.

I was shopping online for a used Mini Cooper. The Autoway Ford dealer 50 miles away seemed to have the perfect car for us. Zack Castillo answered my email inquiry quickly and after some negotiating about the price we drove down to see the car. He had the car ready for our inspection upon arrival. The car was everything he said it was. Within 2 hours we were on our way home with the new toy. It was a pleasure doing business with both Zack and the rest of the staff at Autoway Ford.

I stopped in to look for a used SUV and Marc knew from what I was looking at on the lot that I would most likely love a 2006 Ford Expedition that was being delivered the next day! Marc's follow up was impeccable and I really appreciated him keeping me up to date on everything that was happening, from the deliver all the way until the approval from the bank!! When my fiance needs a different vehicle I definitely will be back to get the best customer service and deal from Marc Kassel and his finance team at AutoWay Ford of Bradenton! Thanks so much Marc!!!

2012 Fusion Buyer

Dec 11, 2012

I recently was in the market for a new Fusion. I stopped in at AutoWay and spoke with Marc Kassel. He was very helpful, friendly, and very easy to work with. Between the first time I stopped in and the time I went back to buy the car, I was quite busy, so we kept in touch by phone and email. His sales manager, Gary Hallows, was also knowledgable, friendly, and easy to work with, and was able to make the car affordable enough for me to purchase (I originally was going to buy a used Fusion) Heather Raney also was helpful, doing all of the paperwork, explaining everything, transferring the registration and title, etc. All 3 of them worked with me to get the transaction done in a timely manner, as I had to be on my way to a business appointment. This included doing paperwork, transferring the tag, even helping me transfer my personal belongings, detailing the car, etc.I'd definitely recommend the team at Auto Way Bradenton for anyone needing to buy a car.

I approached Autoway Ford over the web after searching for a pre-owned vehicle on line. Zach Castillo answered my email and was very friendly and professional. I simply negotiated the trade-in and purhcase over the next two days and took deliver of my 2007 Mustang. I am very happy with the overall service, negotiations and delivery of my vehicle and would most definitely purchase from Autoway Ford of Bradenton again.

We dreaded the new car buying experience until we met with Marc Kassel at Autoway of Bradenton. Hands down he was the best and most personable salesman we have ever encountered. The entire staff at Autoway of Bradenton contributed to a welcoming atmosphere. When we picked up our new car, it was perfect. Marc spent a lot of time explaining the new gadgetry. We now call him "Professor," because he explained everything so well. He really took an interest in his customers and he was excellent to deal with.

I purchased a used ford f-150 with only 47,000 miles on it. It was riding rough and vibrating and shaking. I Brought it in for service. Was told the drive shaft was shot. They swiftly replaced the drive shaft. They must not have driven the truck after the replacement because when I took it home, it was riding as rough as before. The service associate said it may be a bad tire, however, I had put new tires on in the prior week. Two days later, while on the highway, twice the check engine light was flashing and the truck was severely shaking worse than usual. I video taped this on my cell phone. The engine light flashed for a few minutes. At this point it is still driving like crap all the time. I told the service associate I was sure it was a misfire. I took the truck back to Autoway Service and was told there were no codes and the rocky vibration is just a normal characteristic of the truck. So I have a truck that gives me a headache to drive. Two days later, again on the highway, the truck started shaking and the check engine light flashing then went to steady orange. I drove straight back to the dealership. They promptly scanned and advised that the codes revealed a fault in the # 7 spark plug and coil pack. They replaced the spark plug and coil promptly the next morning. I was happy to hear that they were not charging me for the work done as I had been there so many times. I would have been happier to pay if the truck was actually fixed. Upon further investigation, I find out this is the 4th spark plug and 3rd coil pack replaced by this dealership on this truck. I then inquired, if 4 out of the 8 plugs have gone bad, wouldn't that suggest that the other 4 need to be replaced and/or there is an underlying problem causing the plugs to fault. I was blown off and assured the problem was resolved. Well, there is some improvement, the truck still rides rough and appears to be jerking/hicupping as I am driving, which means the other spark plugs need to be replaced as well. So, now I guess I will take it somewhere else to get the rest of the work done and be inconvenienced yet again.

We bought a new Ford Edge 3 weeks ago and the people at Autoway of Bradenton made the car buying experience a lot less painful than we had previously experienced. We had a terrific young sales "guide." His name was Marc Kassel and he brought to the job a great sense of humor, professionalism, and courtesy toward his customers. No high pressure or questionable tactics here. Actually, everyone we came in contact with at Bradenton Autoway had a smile on his/her face and a very pleasant demeanor. The atmosphere at Autoway was most welcoming, and I would definitely recommend this place to our friends!

By the time we showed up we were comfortable with our salesperson. There was very little negotiation. We received a fair price for our trade vehicle and a fair price on our new vehicle. Michael our salesperson took care of all the finer parts of our closing and kept up well informed. We will definitely recommend Autoway to our friends

We are very pleased with Autoway Ford. Over the past few weeks, my wife and I shopped at numerous car dealerships before we pulled into Autoway Ford where we were fortunate to meet our salesman, Zack Castillo. After we told Zack what we were looking for, he found us several vehicles to choose from. After finding the perfect pre-owned vehicle, he made sure it was in excellent condition. A small problem with the headlights was fixed immediately. Zack was very professional and attentive before and after we purchased the vehicle. Job well done. Thanks Zack, we will be back.

Fabulous new car owner

I recently bought a new car at the ford dealership in Bradenton, Florida. Marc Kassel,the salesmen was very nice. I had looked at a few cars the day before but had left the dealership without a new ford. A few days later I called to see if the car I liked was still there. On such short notice, Marc came in on his off and had eveything arranged before I had gotten there. All i had to do was sign paperwork. Marc was fun to work with and would recommend him to anyone looking to purchase a car.

Our transaction was quick and easy. Marc Kassel, our salesman, was exceptionally friendly and helpful. He asked what it would take for the sale to take place, so we gave him the numbers, and he came back with an even better deal than we had hoped. Even the DMV paperwork was completed at the dealership; we drove away in our new car in about 1 hour from the time we walked in. Would highly recommend this dealership and Marc to anyone buying a car.

My saleman Marc Kessel took the time to explain all the functions of my new car and gave me detailed instructions on how to setup all the extras that came with the vehicle. The team at Autoway Ford was very polite and was willing to answer any questions or concerns I had about the vehicle. I walked away with practically a new car with a used car price. I would recommend anyone whos looking for a new or used car to visit Autoway Ford, they will work within your budget.

We purchased the extended warranty when we bought a used car in 2010. When the moan roof stopped working we took it back for service. When we got the car back it was covered in grease and dirt, all over the floorboards and roof. When my husband asked why it wasn't cleaned prior to us picking it up, one of the employees blamed my 3 year old daughter....even for the mechanics grease around the moon roof we just had them fix....Not soon after the items that had to be removed to fix the moon roof started falling off, so we took it back for more repairs (for the items that were broken when they "fixed" the car. We were again accused of intentionally breaking these items! One of the salesman even toldmy husband that they hope to never see him again. My husband had to get loud and aggressive to get them to fix these items.After getting the car back, guess what, the moon roof wasn't working yet again!After getting the car backs again adds, we started noticing a rattling from the backseat, from under the roof, which had been taken off to fix the moon roof. My husband called the dealership and he was told to come back in on a Saturday morning. When he showed up no one was aware that we had an appointment and why we were there. After finally being acknowledged my husband was told to talk with a salesman to get a car to drive while ours was being worked on. None of the salesmen had any idea of what my a husband was asked to do, and when my husband began to get upset, from multiple times of being screwed abounds, they called him a jerk and threatened to call the police.All we wanted was for the repairs to be performed, as stated under the warranty, and have them fixed right the first time, no more no less. We have been call names, treated like scum and made to feel like we are putting them out. I could, never in a million years, imagine being treated like this from anyone, anywhere, especially a business that thrives on customer service. I would never recommend anyone buy a car here. You may be treated fine when buying the car, but dont expect any respect or true customer service once yours have signed your name on the dotted line. We will never buy another car from here and I have a personal goal of badminton this dealership anywhere I can. Facebook, better business bureau, google and to anyone who will listen. Please heed my advice and shop elsewhere. I juste want to save others the experience we have had.

Great experience. Would highly recommend Pam and Autoway. It appears that the Autoway Group (Autonation) has put a real emphasis on customer service and customer satisfaction. I have also purchased at Mercedes Benz of Sarasota(part of the Autoway group) and the service and attitude is the same at both place ... exceptional.

Your sales representative Heather Raney treated me very well when I bought a used car from her. She let go on a test drive to see if I could get in and out of it with ease. Heather arranged for the service and the signing if the paper work to fit my schedule. Heather was very patient with me with the paper work because I am a slow reader, but she took her time. I will come to AtuoWay Ford the next I need to purchase a car.

We have had many experiences buying new cars in NJ. Usually it is something that we do not look forward to. Our experience at your dealership was totally unique. Everyone was friendly, helpful and efficient. We were able to get the car we wanted at a price that was fair in a very timely manner. We appreciate the fact that we were not "badgered" over extras but given a great explanation of options and allowed to make our decisions based on our budget and preference. Shawn was very polite and helpful to both me, my husband and our daughter. This was her first new car experience. We would without question recomment your dealership to others.

Was very impressed with the car and I'm not the type to spring for a new car if present car is good transportation. But as the saying goes, you can't take it with you. Shawn York was a very nice person to work with and I would highly recommend anyone seeking a new car to ask for him.

Centrally located with easy access. The staff was very accomodating and friendly.I have been a Ford owner/lessee since 1998. Jim Murley

Heather is a very knowledgeable Sales person. I had already researched the Ford Escape and had a number of questions ready that I needed answers for. Heather answered everyone without any hesitation. She gave us, wife and I, a complete run down of all of the special features of the Escape which was very helpful even though I had seen many of them on your website. It is always good to actually see a particular item instead of just reading about it on your PC. Heather made sure to be in contact with us before our visit to test drive the Escape as well as after our visit. Definitely rates a 5 star salute.

Great Experience I was in another state and bought this vehicle sight unseen. They had it cleaned, gassed and ready for me when I arrived. I enjoyed driving it home and still loving saving the gas$$$

I had a huge problem with black mold on the convertible top of my car. Rick and Abe took care of me without breaking my wallet. Huge thanks to both of you!1/3/12 - Still have black mold. No help from Autoway at all! Do NOT purchase a certified pre-owned vehicle from this dealer much less an extended warranty as neither one means a thing. Ive been sick for 9 months now and the futures not looking too bright!

I went to Autoway Ford because I was interested in a 2011 Mustang . Before I knew about Autoway I went to other dealerships and I decided to make business with them for several reasons. I can say that during the whole sales process Heather Raney ( my sales consultant) provided all the information I needed to make an informed decision. She was always there and available to answer all my questions and concerns. Then after the sale was completed and I drove out of the lot driving my new 2011 Mustang I met my service advisor Tom Sommers. He is very knowledgable, courteous and professional. Autoway walks the extra mile after you have your car to make sure you are happy with it. I would say if you are looking for a Ford in the Sarasota Bradenton area Autoway Ford is the place.

I have a local ford dealer that I have been dealing with for many years. The whole experience with Autoway ford has made me sever my relationship with my local dealer and drive sixty miles to Autoway. The price was unbeatable ( my local dealership said there was no way they could come close to matching the price I got) they treated me with respect and listened to what I wanted. I have since purchased a new car for my daughter and she was equally as happy. Autoway will be my dealership for the next twenty five years and my kids after that. Thank you so very much Dan Boule'

My experience with Autoway was excellent. Working with Heather Raney was great and she did everything possible to make the buying experience an enjoyable one. This is my second truck purchased from Autoway and I will more than likely be back again in the future.

HEATHER WORKED HER BUTT OFF TO GETME WHAT I WANTED AND THE PRICE I NEEDED. SHE IS A VALUBLE EMPLOYEE. KEEP HER. THE ONLY BAD EXPERIENCE WAS WITH THE BODY SHOP. I WOULD NOT LET HER GET IN THE MIDDLE OF IT. I WILL NOT DO BUSNISS WITH THEM.

Kelly was extremely courteous and helpful. No pressure tactics or gimmicks. It was the easiest purchase of a car in my life. Of course, the internet with email helped, but the whole experience was smooth and satisfying.

Kelly Carpenter responded promptly to my online inquiry and was immediately available.He allowed a test drive in the car and he accompanied me,providing useful info.He ansewered all questions and made it possible for me to purchase the car I wanted that day.He was very courteous and at no time was "pushy." Rick Rupp handled the business transaction in a very efficient,smooth and friendly fashion in spite of delays in the car loan from my bank. All the dealership personnel with whom I had contact were friendly and courteous. I am very pleased with my new car and the entire dealership encounter and would recommend it to other potential customers. Charles T. Polis,Jr

Kelley was very patient and helpful. I appreciated his low key, no pressure approach. He took the time to identify my needs and did his best to meet them including multiple vehicle searches to find just the right car. He kept in touch via phone, e-mail, and text as I requested and took his time even after the sale to make sure I was comfortable and satisfied. The dealership was well laid out and everyone was friendly. Looks like they have a great service department including a curbside concierge (though I hope I don't ever need to use it for anything other than standard maintenance!) If you are in the market for a Ford, give Kelley and Autoway a chance to earn your business.

It was a very good experience. Everyone was very friendly and I was given the attention that I expected. Now we'll see how well I do at learning how to use the toys. I look forward to driving my new vehicle. I would recommend Autway to another person and would also specifically recommend Marc.

We are in our 70's and have purchased a new car every 3 years for the past 40 plus years. We have never had a better car buying experience. Honest, up front, helpful, friendly,a great deal and the follow up after the purchase has been with out equal. I can't find one negative other than it is 30 miles from our home. If it was a 100, we would do it again. They are as good as any business we have delt with in the last 40 plus years.

Extremely friendly service. Autoway's team is very trustworthy and helpful, no high pressure sales approach. We attended an informative class for new owners where they introduced the staff so we could see who we would be dealing with for service, body work, etc. and they provided some good useful information. I will be very comfortable going there for ongoing service needs.

I had service done to my old vehicle and was handled so efficiently and courteously by Jennifer Mantooth in the service Department that when it came to be time to trade I immediately went to Autoway Ford and met up with Jeronimo as my salesman. I could not have been more pleased. He spent time explaining the vehicle (2011 Edge), was extremely courteous to me and my wife and very patient in answering our questions. He just did a great job dealing with us. Because of Jennifer and Jeronimo: I drive 30 miles to have my service requirements taken care of, I bought a new vehicle from Autoway Ford in Bradenton, and I will and already have recommended Autoway to anyone I hear of that is considering trading vehicles or that are looking for a reliable service department.

I looked at many car lots and told all of them what I wanted. Auto way was the only one that showed us what was in our price range and style. Stepheny and Jason you ROCK.I love my Eddie Bower Explorer.I love my sunroof,leather seats. Now when I pull up next to the other suv's I know mine is the best! Thanks, Cindy.

Pam Brubaker went above and beyond to get me the Ford Edge with the equipment on it that I wanted. She was patient with me as I debated which equipment I wanted or needed. No pressure at all. Everyone I dealt with at the dealership was kind informative and courteous

Thank you for the professionalsim we received from Auto way Ford and Dennis Putrino, whom sold us our Ford Escape. We can't be any happer with the service we received from all of the employees. This was the first time in a long time we were not pressure for a sale. Not like Cox who did not even ask us any questions while looking for a vehicle.We will spread the excellant experience received at Auto Way Ford.Verna and Frank LeppertBradenton, FL.

Autoway Ford was the first and most responsive dealer that contacted me in regards to the vechicle I was looking for! I had contacted several dealers, 4 total, and Autoway was definitely the prompt, couteous and professional! That meant a great deal to me as a customer! The friendliness of the entire staff was above and beyond. Mr. Withers should be proud of them. As a matter of fact, while sighning the purchase documents for my new F250, I was still recieving emails from other dealers that were just getting back to me, this was 9 days later!Recommended to all that I have spoken to the Autoway expierience!!!!Regards & Thank You!John HardyParrish, FL 34219

Pam was very friendly and helpful to me. She did not push me into a vehicle. She simply gave me time to decide what was best for me. She is professional and knew the product she was selling. I have recommended two (2) sales to her alreay and will continue to and also purchase my future vehicles from her. She is the greatest!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I tell everyone who asks me how I like my Fusion that I bought the saleswoman not the car. Stephanie was the reason I bought a Ford. She did her job 100%. She kept in touch with me but never pestered me. She was on time for all appointments. I will go to her for my next car.Ciao, Marilyn Moroni

I am 43 years old and I have to say this was the best car buying experience I have ever had. I was honest with Stehanie and told her exactly what I wanted and was willing to pay and she did her very best and made sure it happened just the way I wanted it to. I would recommend Ford to friends and coowoorkes and send them to Stehanie.John Timbrook
