My husband and I are relocating to a much colder climate and needed to buy a 4 wheel drive vehicle for driving in winter.

We settled on a Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo X 4x4 with v-8 engine as the vehicle we wanted to buy. We searched online for vehicles at dealerships in the area that matched the criteria. We visited two other local dealerships and at one we were treated rudely and so we left. At the other dealership my husband spend more than 5 hours "negotiating" with the sales staff only to walk away from the deal over $500. Mr. Bob Gibson, our sales consultant at Ferman, was able to locate the exact vehicle we wanted, get us the price we wanted, and get the "deal" done within an hour and a half. Everyone was friendly and courteous. This is the most "hassle-free" car buying experience I have ever had. I would highly recommend this dealership to anyone who wants a good deal and no high-pressure "car salesman" tactics. Overall they get a 10 out of 10 in my book. More

HORRIBLE! Dont buy a used from them. They will tell you it passed an 18-point inspection but wont provide you with the documentation to prove it! Next thing you know you car will have 100 things wrong wit it passed an 18-point inspection but wont provide you with the documentation to prove it! Next thing you know you car will have 100 things wrong with it and they will even lie when you file against them with BBB.And beware of the warranty. Its itemized, but their documents dont say that, and of course they wont tell you that. Fred, used car manager = AWFUL! More

Ferman was actually the third stop on my grand tour of Tampa Jeep dealerships. The first lied and told me they couldn't order what I wanted, the second blew me off, and then finally, Ferman was ready and Tampa Jeep dealerships. The first lied and told me they couldn't order what I wanted, the second blew me off, and then finally, Ferman was ready and willing to do business. From the get-go, I dealt with Roger and he was very friendly. He actually had it pretty easy because I knew exactly what I wanted, right down to the options. All he had to do was place my order. He took my information down and got to work. Along the way I also had Pat helping me out. He was very knowledgeable and helpful. Together they were able to take care of almost all of my issues. The actual physical dealership itself was also very nice and it looked like they took good care of the place. It looks brand new and is very inviting. The only negative thing I would have to say is that dealing with some of the managers higher up along the chain was a little difficult. The salesmen were caught in between, but they did their best to help me out. In the end, I got a great vehicle at a great price that I'm very happy with. Would I buy from them again? Yes, absolutely. Would I recommend Ferman to anyone else? Yes. Just make sure you know what you want and are firm in your wishes. One final note: they did a very good prep job of the vehicle when it came in. Cleaned the Jeep off very well and made sure everything was perfect. Even gave me a full tank of gas. While it sounds like an obvious thing to do, there are dealerships out there that don't. More
While on vacation, the factory installed burglar alarm system in my 1993 Jeep Grand Wagoneer would not shut off. I had the car towed to this dealer late on a Tuesday, knowing that they would not get to i system in my 1993 Jeep Grand Wagoneer would not shut off. I had the car towed to this dealer late on a Tuesday, knowing that they would not get to it until Wednesday at the earliest and assumed that they would not finish it until late Thursday. I rented a car to use until Thursday night. No one from the Service Dept. called me either Wed. or Thurs. so at 4:50 pm on Thurs I called and asked to speak to Jamie (my service advisor). He did not know the status of the car and proceeded to read the notes from the technician. While reading the notes he stated "Oh this guy is an idiot - I don't understand any of this. Hold on while I go ask him what is going on". The last thing I want to hear the a service advisor is that the guy working on my car is an idiot. Jamie told me that they were looking into a problem with the buss for the computer module and that he would get back to me. I did not hear from him in Friday or Saturday, so I called back on Monday and left a voice mail. I called back two hours later and asked to speak the Service Manager (Carmen) and had to leave a voice mail again. I called back Two hours later and asked to speak to Carmen's supervisor (Warren) and again left a voicemail. On Tuesday I called Ferman's corporate offices in Tampa and was able to speak to the corporate head of customer service. She had Warren call me back and he told me that they discovered that the computer module was bad and that they would not be able to get one for at least six weeks. He apologized for not getting back to me and told me that he had taken the previous day off and had not checked his voice mail (this was at 4:00 pm). After a brief conversation, he suggested that it may be in my best interest to speak with Ferman's Sales department about purchasing another car. I looked at the few cars that they had in my price range and spoke to a salesman that was very helpful. I explained the situation to him and warned him that I was going to be a hard sell given all that had happened. He spoke to his sales manager who came over and told me that he didn't care if I had to wait six weeks for parts - that wasn't his problem. If I didn't like it I can go buy my parts somewhere else for all he cares - he is not coming down on the price of the car!!! All in all I had a VERY bad experience and would never, NEVER recommend Ferman Auto group to anyone. I have to agree with Jamie K. - "These Guys are Idiots!" More
This is my second car purchased from Ferman Chrylser. Both were very good experiences, but this second, with sales associate Bill Cockerell, was outstanding. Mr. Cockerell is a very intelligent and prof Both were very good experiences, but this second, with sales associate Bill Cockerell, was outstanding. Mr. Cockerell is a very intelligent and professional sales person. We were never pressured to make a purchase. Both Mr. Cockerell and the general manager showed a genuine interest in helping us find the vehicle we wanted to buy. I can't speak for every sales associate at Ferman Chrysler, but I can recommend Bill Cockerell. If you want to be treated fairly, and work with an honest sales person, go see Bill Cockerell. More
This dealer uses the typical " need to show commitment" to just start talking about prices.I was not getting married to the salesman, just buying a car so obviously no commitment from my part. This is an a to just start talking about prices.I was not getting married to the salesman, just buying a car so obviously no commitment from my part. This is an approach that insults intelligent customers but for some reason seems to be the standard in the industry. I had finance and was ready to buy a new Cherokee only if treated with respect and honesty. Never found out the price as I never showed " commitment" as the salesman required. Ended up buying the car at a dealer in Brandon, almost 30 miles from home.I don't blame the salesman as he only follows company policy. Avoid this dealer unless you want to be treated as an idiot who knows nothing. More
In the 20 years that I have been driving and buying cars, I have never had such an outstanding car buying experience. My sales person, Billy Cockerell is one of the most ethical sales persons I have had the I have never had such an outstanding car buying experience. My sales person, Billy Cockerell is one of the most ethical sales persons I have had the pleasure of working with. He was extremely patient and knowledgeable about Jeeps. He answered all my questions with precision and has a excellent understanding of vehicle systems. Billy worked very hard for me and he was able to get me the perfect Jeep. The sales and management staff and Ferman is the best. I was prepared to purchase the vehicle with my own financing, however the finance staff at Ferman Jeep was able to get me a better rate and deal. They save me and my family money! I first went to Ferman, because my bank (USAA) recommended the dealership, and they were right. This is the best dealership in Tampa or even Florida. The next car I purchase is hopefully from Billy Cockerell at Ferman Chrysler Jeep Dodge. I wouldn't bother going to another dealership. More
