Called this place on this car…read morehttps://www.jarrettfordavonpark.com/used-Avon+Park-2007-Mercury-Grand+Marquis-LS-2MEFM75V17X623567 and spoke with a sales rep, possibly Adam, bad with names. Explained to him that i was driving from Miami and would appreciate an honest review of the car, wanting to know what problems the car had so I wouldn't be wasting their time as well as mine. He sent me a video, some pictures and stated that the car was in great shape. My wife and I were in the car the next day driving the 140 plus miles to their dealership. When we got there, we were greeted and told that the vehicle was being detailed. After about a 10 minute wait they brought the car around and it looked great from a distance. Upon closer inspection I immediately noticed the trunk lid, and rear bumper appeared to be freshly painted. The vehicles external flaws were told to me on the phone, so I knew what I was walking into. When I discussed on the phone the condition of the AC, he said it was working great. Upon inspection, it appeared that there was some type of foam sealant used on the ac accumulator. When asked about it the sales rep told us he knew nothing of that. While it blew cold, it was apparent that there was an issue at some time, but no one knew anything about it. I checked under the car and it also appeared since it was a North Carolina car, there was rust under the car which may have been why the rear deck lid and bumper were painted. I asked him why were they painted and I got what has to be the most ridiculous answer ever from a car salesman and I quote "We had them painted because the guys in the body shop had nothing to do so we gave them something to do" If that was the fucking case they should have done the whole car! Right then and there, we lost trust in both him and the dealership. We opened the trunk to find it extremely wet on both the carpet and deck lid. They took it back to the body shop and told us that they would let us know what the problem was. We left to go get something to eat and waited for their call. An hour and a half later I get a text that it was the studs holding the tail lights in and that it was fixed. Like I said earlier we lost trust with them, so we both decided to pass on the vehicle due to that loss of trust, NO MATTER HOW MUCH WE LIKED THE CAR! We both were quite pissed at the fact that we drove all that way fully expecting to leave with it, only to be mislead on what was actually wrong with the car. I called the dealership later to speak with the manager and left a message for Tim Masse the manager. I was told he would return my call, never did. Left another message yesterday, same result no call back. Left another this morning, still crickets. I'm sure that this dealership provides a great service to the local community that wants new cars? Used cars, another story. Would I do business with them? Not at this point. A simple inspection of the vehicle by one of their mechanics, listing what I found in a 15 minute inspection would have saved us a shit ton of time that I could have spent looking for an honest and reliable used car. I still cannot get over this statement; "We had them painted because the guys in the body shop had nothing to do so we gave them something to do" Think about that before you venture out to see what they have to offer. Just not right to bullshit a customer with cash to spend! Time to hit social media to spread the word....... They chose to delete my honest review so I added it again plus an update. Thank you for turning me away otherwise I wouldn't have found this little gem in my backyard. 2006 Grand Marquis 60 thousand original miles with an extended warranty to 92 thousand miles as well as 4 additional new tires and rims. Thank You

Do you have an Uber friend? That's me! I give rides to two different ladies that have their cars…read moreserviced here. They smile and call me their Uber Friend! They pay me by buying lunch and an adult libation or two. Arriving- They are directly on US 27 South between Avon Park and Sebring. There is a turnoff both before and after them so if you miss one you can grab the other. Parking is a snap and dropping off is easy peasy. Ambience- This is a big place as they sell and service four or maybe more brands. As I've found with most dealerships, everything is spotless. The waiting area is comfortable with decent amenities. Customer Service- I have lots of experience with them as I accompany my friends on the drop and the pickup. I go in with them and participate in all the interactions. I've experienced multiple service folks on many occasions. Overall, servicing your car and the customer service that goes with it is 4 stars. The nice folks are good at explaining things simply and answering all your questions. The times they estimate are usually great with the occasional glitch due to parts availability. See my next point. Parts Availability- This seems to be a bit more of an issue than other dealerships I'm familiar with. I mention it because it was also true pre-pandemic. A part that was due in 2 days ends up being 7. That stuff is annoying and drops them a star. Conclusion- If you need dealership-level service, overall a decent place!

The worst slimeball car guy ever, Eric Kline. Mr. Kline has mommy issues, cannot deal with women…read morebeing knowledgeable or smarter than he... not a challenge give that he is as dumb as a box of rocks. Here's the facts he called "opinion:" a 2013 Nissan Frontier Crew Cab, 96K miles on it, clean truck, sharp looking but not overly different from the other 10 I'd looked at and drove. The brakes were dangerous even pushed to the floor (salesman agreed) and the tires were slicks (Mr. Kline said they were "1/8 of an inch better than the wear line" himself. And, the asking price- $15,500! So far overpriced and refused to make it right with the tires and brakes unless we paid for them (at his cost, what a deal). When I suggested that he was trying to treat me like an ignorant female who knows nothing about cars, I pushed a trigger button. When he told me the tires were an 1/8 of an inch better than the wear line, I could not help but laugh at him (that made him angry too). He walked out saying "I'm done here." What a childish display of unprofessionalism. The salesman, Hector, had to apologize to us for Mr. Kline's behavior. Look, it's not my problem that you bought a car you paid too much for. It's not my fault that your service inspection said that the tires and brakes were "good." Whoever did that inspection for you should be fired. Pompous, disrespectful ass. It's really too bad because they have some quality vehicles but safety is important and pricing competitively isn't opinion... sorry you didn't like being schooled by a girl.

There are two problems with this: the work isn't done, and according to the warranty company, they paid them in full five days earlier. Every time Advisor opened his mouth, it has been a lie. My car still isn't fixed, the warranty company thinks the work was done (or thought so until I reported this) and Advisor is playing now. I've never seen a dealership so crooked, and I worked in the industry! do yourself a favor and run as far away as you can before you get taken as well

-- Reputation is everything! -…read more I retired in this tiny town just over ten years ago and here are the things I hear about these fine folks- "God forbid if I ever needed another tow, I would call Macklin." "His employees are more friendly than the other shops in town." "I can get what I want done without that horrible upselling I get from other shops." "His prices are really fair." I could go on! Arriving- They are just off US Route 27 Southbound, very near all the Avon Park fast food places. If it's busy, park over to the left of the building. Ambience- The business has posted great photos, so I won't reinvent the wheel. The waiting room is basic and clean and most importantly, the chairs are comfortable. Customer Service- Solid as a rock! I blame the owner for his excellent hiring skills! Towing- 24/7, 365 days a year! Even if you're an impaired driver on New Year's Eve, these are your guys! Check their map on Yelp for the area they cover. Services- If it grinds or squeals or thunks or just plain fails, these guys will figure it out. Of course, they do regular service every X thousand miles. You know the deal. Pricing & Value- I'm like most folks. If I get something done, I will mention the price to my friends and neighbors to compare. Every time I smile! Conclusion- In my opinion, your chances of having a fine experience here are very high.
