For almost two years I've been shopping for a new (to me) car. I knew what I wanted... the year, make, model, and options. The problem was there wasn't a ton of these cars around the US, and the ones I did find either weren't in great condition or had a high sticker price. When I came across a vehicle that fit my requirements at Lade Ford, I gave them a call. I ended up speaking to Dan Lade, the owner of the dealership, and he was super helpful getting me photos and details of the car. I saw great reviews from the dealership so I bought the car sight unseen. Hitched a ride from Austin to Frankston to pick it up and met the man in person. He was as nice as he was on the phone, and the car was in better condition than I could have imagined. I got a great deal and a month later I couldn't be happier with the car and how Dan handled everything. I've bought many cars for my business over the years and this was by far one of the best buying experiences I've ever had. read more

Went to laid Ford for a transmission flush in my truck. Seem like I spent the entire day there. So they're not very fast. Also requested they check the programming on the transmission. They told me that the transmission was fine and they had reset it. They also told me that there was no updates for the programming of the transmission. There is an update for the transmission and it is has not been updated and I need to get it updated but I am not going back there. Who knows how long that would take. read more

I hate shopping for cars. Negotiating price, then arguing over the trade-in value is even worse. Then at closing, someone's going to pitch the "amazing paint/seat/carpet/glass protectant that's only $999 and how can you NOT invest such a small amount if you value your investment?" nonsense. But this didn't happen here. You're gonna LOVE Lade Ford. Was shopping for a new F-250 Lariat but with the gas engine vs diesel. Looked in DFW, Austin, Hillsboro, Hutto, Temple, Killeen, BFE--nothing. Then came across these guys. Just what I wanted; no more, no less. I have never had a better experience with a dealer. Period. Great value on my trade, awesome price on the pickup and absolutely no surprises at closing. You know, the way you're supposed to "do bidness in Texas". Jeremy Lade, Ethan Lade and the others we met were people you wished you'd met each time you bought a car. Or anything else, for that matter. Did I mention that the two hour drive from Waco was WELL worth it? I'd do it again in a heartbeat. While your there, make a :20 side trip to Bruno's in Tyler. Best Eye-talian food ever. Oh--and when I woke up this morning, I didn't hate shopping for cars any more. Thanks, guys! read more

My experience with Lade Ford in Frankston was top notch. Spoke to Kenny on the phone a few days prior to coming into the dealership. Very straight-forward and open. He gave great advice, and even pointed us to some local places to eat while he finished our paperwork on the day of the sale. He then took the time to show us every single feature of our new F350 Lariat. What a pleasure to do business with. read more
