    These folks were pleasant and easy to deal with. I would work with them again. They were very…read moreresponsive and communicative and personal; they did a good job providing details and even personal video inspection of the vehicle before making the drive over (which is great because I'm not close by). If you're sure you've found the right vehicle, you can even place a deposit on the vehicle to keep other folks from snatching it before you get there. They were very patient with my slow decision-making process. It didn't take hours to fill out paperwork. I walked away--or drove away--with a great vehicle that I'm very pleased with. Ask for Kevin.

    I know this review is lengthy, however, it is worth the 5-minute read and may save you headaches…read moreand heartache. We purchased a 2023 Jeep Grand Wagoneer from Tim Short Ford in LaFollette, TN in April of this year. The vehicle had less than 13,000 miles on it at the time of purchase. The day we picked the vehicle up from the dealership, the vehicle had not been properly detailed as promised. Upon further inspection of the vehicle when my wife arrived home, she found illegal drugs in the vehicle. We immediately called the dealership to address the situation, stating that this was unacceptable. We had the vehicle personally detailed, to which the dealership did reimburse us. On April 24, 2025 (8 days after purchasing the vehicle), we returned the vehicle to Tim Short Ford to have a ceramic coating applied to the vehicle (a service the dealership provided at a cost of $895.00. Prior to purchasing the coating package, it was explained to us in detail that the ceramic coating application was a multi-step process (cleaning, paint corrections...) prior to the ceramic application. When my wife picked the vehicle up upon completion of the ceramic coating, she questioned why the vehicle was so dirty. The response she got for the dirt being on the vehicle was that the coating was applied at an offsite location and that the dirt accumulated on the vehicle on the way back to the dealership. As a result of our skepticism, we took the vehicle to a detailer here in Knoxville (who specializes in this type of coating), and upon inspection told my wife that ceramic coating had never applied to this vehicle. I called the sales manager about it, to which he stated that the service had been completed. During the phone conversation, I asked for a refund in the amount of $895, the price we had paid for the service as we had an independent third-party state the work was never performed. The sales manager stated that he would need to speak to his managers for approval. On May 14, 2025, on the way to the Jeep dealership here in Knoxville (to address several issues with the battery, alternator, and computer system) the vehicle was started throwing error codes and ultimately shut down the vehicle while my wife was driving down the highway. The vehicle was at the Jeep dealership for 8 days requiring extensive repairs. Upon completion of the work at the dealership, we reached back out to Tim Short Ford regarding all our issues with this vehicle, including the ceramic coating. On June 9, 2025, Tim Short Ford sent my wife and I settlement paperwork for the ceramic coating. This paperwork wasn't solely for reimbursement. By signing this settlement paperwork, we would be releasing Tim Short Ford from any further liability regarding the Wagoneer going forward. In addition, there was a disparagement clause in the document stating we would not post anything on social media or any other platform regarding our experience with Tim Short Ford. We never signed this paperwork because we wanted our voice to be heard. Prior to writing this review, we reached out to James Brafford, who is a Partner and General Manager of the dealership detailing our experience. Thinking he may want to know how his dealership is being ran. He briefly responded to my email saying he would personally investigate the situation and get back to us. That was on September 6, 2025, and we have not heard anything back from Mr. Brafford since. Based on what my wife and I have experienced and briefly detailed above, I question the ethical and legal practices of Tim Short Ford in Lafollette, TN. From the illegal drugs found in the vehicle to charging for work that was not performed (and validated by an independent third party). Proceed with caution if you decide to do business with this dealership.
