Sat on the phone for 30 minutes while their automated system told me I was in position que 1 for the entire time. No one answers the phone here. I've never had a positive experience at this dealership. read more

1 star is too high...Horrible customer service. I made an APPOINTMENT for 8am Friday morning. I showed up early, dropped my truck off, was informed "well, we may not get to it this morning, but I'll know something by the end of the day." Since my appointment wasn't actually an appointment, I rented a car bc I was stuck otherwise. At 6pm on Friday, with NO CALL, I reached out only to be told the diagnostic guys stops doing diagnostics in the morning and would prob get to my truck on Monday morning. I called 8:20am Monday morning, was told my truck was "with the tech" - called back at 11:30, still "with the tech," called back 1:30, "still with the tech" - when did appointments become suggestions? This "family run business" does not treat their customers like family, not sure why they don't care, but they do not. read more

This dealership is awesome! I have been looking for a vehicle for about 6 months but the dealerships I was visiting did not carry many 2025 new vehicles with my specifications. After passing Chestatee Ford many times, I decided to stop in. Craig greeted me at the door and he was phenomenal. This gentleman honestly listened to me and what I wanted. The process of buying was so comfortable and easy from talking to Craig and picking out the SUV I wanted to purchase, to processing the paperwork with Mark! I wish I had gone to them first! Thank you Chestatee Ford for knowing what customer service is really all about! read more

A great car buying experience. I'd been shopping locally for a specifically equipped F150 for a couple months with no luck but found one on their website. Even though it was a 3.5 hour drive to Dahlonega I called and spoke to K. C. about the truck, he answered all my questions so the next morning we drove to Georgia. The truck was perfect, K. C. had it ready when we got there and both he and Megan in the office were a pleasure to deal with. read more

The guys at the parts department are great. Whenever I call to ask about a specific part or fluid for my truck they always let out a big sigh over the phone. It reassures me how happy they are to help customers! read more

We have just purchased our 3rd vehicle from Craig and team at Chestatee Ford. Great people who are honest and never try to sell you something you don't want. All of our cars have been great and you won't get a better deal than what they offer. I would give more than 5 stars if I could. Make sure you ask for Craig!!!!! read more

Great people that stand behind what they do. Bought a certified used truck from them a few weeks back. I was in and out of the dealership in about an hour including the test drive. Mack did a great job. There was an issue with the vehicle after I arrived home by the team at Chestatee Ford made it right and went out of there way to make me happy. read more

I bought a Bronco. KC was very helpful and low pressure. He showed us what we asked to see and did not try to steer us a certain way or up sale us. When it came time to financing, they got me a lower rate than my bank would give me. I highly recommend them if you are looking to buy a vehicle. read more

Just purchased a 2020 F150 Larait. The whole buying experience was great, Kevin Pratt the sales person made everything easy. I am very pleased with the staff and the truck. Thanks Kevin and his beautiful wife, Patrick Parsley read more

Absolutely a great experience with Craig at Chestatee Ford. I went in and told him what I was looking for and the price I could afford. They didn't have it, but he showed me the closest thing. Unfortunately it was outside my price range but he took my info and said he would call if something matching came in. I got a call the very next day and we closed a deal on an 2017 Explorer. There were no gimmicks or tricks and everything was straight up. I highly recommend doing business with him and his team! read more

3 girls walk into a Ford dealership ready to spend some money and no one jumps to help... except the new guy Zach! Zach was amazing to deal with when it came to picking out my brand new Ford Explorer. Through all of my questions, comments and concerns Zach made it a priority to answer or GET an answer for me to ensure I was as educated and comfortable as possible in the buying process. You know how car sales people can be super weird and pushy, not Chestatee! I was practically begging them to sell me a car which is pretty genius haha. The experience Chestatee Ford family provided was top of the line and I can't wait to go back in a few years for my next car. CANNOT SAY ENOUGH ABOUT ZACH AND CHESTATEE FORD! read more

My truck and I received first class treatment from the Chestatee Ford's service department. I went in for a simple tire rotation, but ended up needing a couple new tires. They ordered them that morning and got them in and installed that afternoon. While I was there they scheduled my truck to take care of a couple camera recalls. read more

Really courteous, attentive sales experience from Craig Rioux and the finance paperwork was a breeze thanks to Mark Nestor. Everyone took their time with me but also was respectful of my time with completing the paperwork. I strongly recommend Chestatee Ford! read more

It's not a bad place to go for vehicle repairs and service, but my biggest issue is thy need to take appointments. The current service is based on a first come first serve basis and the service department is closed on the weekends, making it harder to go. read more

I worked with Jay Kimmel and it was a great experience. Jay was very informative, helpful, and forthright. This is the 3rd vehicle I've purchased from a dealership and it was the best experience of them all. Jay took over an hour to go over the numerous features and electronics of the truck. Thanks Jay! read more

By far the best place to do business with Ford in Georgia, my family and myself, have purchased from KC (Keith Coker) and he's a wonderful person to deal with. Gives you all your options, makes sure the vehicle is the right one for you and really kept me up to date with what was on the lot. If you're looking for honest, just good people that'll give you a great sales experience, this is the Ford Dealership to go to. You'll leave the dealership with a smile and a great vehicle. read more

This dealship is a total joke. Purchased a brand new 2020 explorer from them 6 months ago in June 2020. After driving the car less than 3 thousand miles, it had all sorts of safety features being disabled (bad radar sensor was diagnosed). That was over 3 months ago. I have been told 3 different times/dates when they should receive the part, and was pushed back again today for another 3 weeks. The service department seems to care less and have been awful with communicating delays or whatever. This car is not safe and I am not happy to put my family into a car that is disabing safety features, not to mention that a 10 mile trip will trigger between 6 and 8 very distracting warnings/notifications. They had another car on the lot that was used and could fit what our needs are. They encouraged me to take a test drive. Well guess what, the airbag light was on in the white 2020 Expedition I was out test driving. The sales rep stated he would get it into service, but said let's see what the numbers look like. I sat down and let him run the numbers only to be told he would offer me 13,000 dollars less than what I paid for my new ford 6 months and 5,000 miles ago and I also placed a large down payment on the vehicle. Apparently they know it's a problem also. This dealship is happy to take your money, but good luck if you need them. read more

I've been here 3 times now, the first time was for custom work fitting and painting a new front bumper. I had another ford dealership working on this project who kept delaying and putting it off, they quoted a week of work that kept increasing both in cost and duration. I pulled the project from them after visiting the shop 3 months after it had started and little had been done. Chestatee Ford was recommended to me by a friend and I did some research, I found that they were highly recommended by my insurance company and many others in my car club. After meeting Joseph the body shop manager he quoted one week and finally an honest price. I accepted and work started, it went slightly over schedule but for good reason and I was always informed. I left very happy with the quality of their work and promised to return. Unfortunately a few months later I was incurred small damage on the highway with a random tire left on the road. I immediately went to Chestatee for repairs, again was not let down with the quality of the work done. Currently I am back in the shop having them paint and install hood vents, Joseph as always was extremely helpful and helped with suggestions. I left feeling very confident my car will look great. I will be back to finish my car with a new rear bumper and wouldn't choose any other place, they have a customer for life even though they're about an hour drive from me. read more

I got turned on to this dealer by a friend who lives up near them. He's bought several Fords there and spoke highly of them. My local dealer was lackluster in trying to find me what I wanted, so I contacted Kevin Pratt, their internet sales guy at my buddy's recommendation. Couldn't be happier with the results. Kevin searched hard to find me the car I wanted and to get it to me so we could take advantage of a soon to expire cash back from Ford. I live over 2 hours away from Chestatee Ford, down in southwest Georgia. Hitting the traffic up through Atlanta made me question my decision, but once I got to the dealer I was very happy I had made the trip. Some of the nicest and most competent people I've dealt with, ever, and hands down the easiest and quickest car buying experience I've ever had. Car was exactly as described, and it took me about 30 min from the time I got there to when I was leaving with my beautiful new car. Two thumbs up from me, fast, easy, and got what I wanted at a good price! read more

I just purchased a 2016 Ford Explorer. Dude and Pat Head were great. I am picky when it comes to vehicles, with 3 boys I have to be. Dude found an SUV with everything I asked for and some. 0% financing! Pat took extra time to walk me through how everything works! Thanks guys, wonderful experience! read more

This dealership was AWESOME! The salesperson Kevin sent me over a quote the day before, and when I came in, was ready to show me the truck. He really knew his product, gave a GREAT demo of the truck, and was zero pressure sales person. The finance person, Kip, was awesome too. HILARIOUS, and made us feel right at home. Wonderful people and wonderful experience. read more

Was pleasantly surprised and pleased by our experience at this dealership! They had many other great trucks but we found the exact vehicle we were looking for so we went a little off of our beaten path after Connie sent me pictures and the dealership followed up with our internet request for more information. Connie knew her stuff and was very easygoing and amiable. The whole process took about 1.5 hours from start to finish as we had no trade in. We felt like we got a great deal. When I was concerned about something in the coolant reservoir they let us have a loaner truck for the weekend until their service department could come in to check it out. Very pleased I would recommend you check out Connie and Chestatee Ford! read more

Well, I guess shame on me for thinking some backwoods car dealership would hire professional salespeople. I just got confused by the fact they represent the FORD brand. So during this past Xmas break, I was looking at some cars and came across one I wanted on the internet and decided to drive to dealership. When I parked, out came 4 desperate salesmen to assail me. I get it guys, business is slow and you need your commission. But for the love of all that's good in the world, have some dignity. So I speak to the first one who accosted me, who told me I had to wait for the car I wanted to see as another client was test driving it. In the meantime, the car salesman wanted my license (I guess to conduct a soft search of my credit). I told him I could show it to him, but I wasn't gonna give him my information until I decided to buy the vehicle. So he goes away while I wait. In the meantime I notice they had set up the room for some holiday activity. After a few minutes, I notice sales people rushing in in a panic and some "pastor" starts to give some inane religious speech to everyone in the room. I really thought this was weird as I wasn't in a church, had I known there was a religious service going on I would have not come that day. Afterwards (I'm still sitting there in a bench and waiting) I overhear some other staff talking about their fundamentalist politics really loud, not caring there were customers walking around. I'm not gonna complain about what they discussed but about the fact they even felt empowered to discuss such sensitive topics in front of clientele who are strangers to them. I am pretty sure Ford would not approve of either a religious ceremony nor staff discussing politics (this is the deep south so you can imagine the kind of idiotic stuff they said). I also noticed what seemed to me to be a manager talking to what I assume to be his wife and spanking her in the butt and laughing like two middle aged love birds. Then the same idiot approaches me with his mustachioed creepy grin to ask if I was being helped, so I know he was spanking butts while on the clock. I'm not against displays of affection, but this was mind blowingly unprofessional. Wouldn't this be considered sexual harassment by the other employees? Nevertheless, my salesperson tells me the other customer decided to buy the car I wanted so on my way I go. Salesperson didn't even try to show me anything else and that's OK with me. A few months later I got to talking with an acquaintance who happens to be familiar with them. I learn that one of the higher up accountants there is a religious fanatic married to a baptist pastor and that the management is composed by a bunch of loutish rednecks who don't understand what professional labor relationships entail. I was regaled of tales of how that creepy guy brings his wife to the showroom and puts on a display of extreme PDA in front of every employee and client without a care in the world. How they constantly discuss their negative feelings about gay folk and about minorities etc, in front of everyone, even clients!! Finally how they post anti immigration/pro Trump posters in their business office for everyone to see and when they get black clients they hide them. So, I'm not really looking to do any business wit them in the future and I am really confused as to why Ford would even lend their name to this dealership, as everything described is strictly forbidden by labor laws and could land them in legal trouble. The reason is that if they feel they don't need to follow the law in that respect, how can anyone trust them with my credit or that they don't sell me a clunker? I ended up going to the John Megel dealership down the road and it was worlds apart in service and professionalism. read more

Ive bought 6 vehicles over the years from Chestatee Ford and the only person I trust to go to is Brent Escoe! He always does whats best for me and shoots me straight. He is a class act and genuinely cares about his client's needs. I cant say enough good things about Brent and everyone at Chestatee Ford! read more

Read what has been stated in the two previous reviews written. Avoiding phone calls, not contacted by the owner to discuss the actual events!!! You can state your side of the story but it is negated by the fact the car is unsafe and not repaired correctly. I still have a fender that has a hole that is not in the drivers side fender and there is something loose and knocking in the right side. It will go to my local Ford dealer for a diagnosis and we will go from that point. Understand this is light aggression to this point with a review that can be removed. I have not stated anything that is not fact. read more
