Tidelands Ford

It was an MKC purchased from Beach Ford so I drove 30 minutes to try I buy one for our family and they treated me so poorly. The salesman smelled like smoke and kept calling me sweetie so I decided to try Tidelands in Pawleys Island. My experience there was wonderful. My salesman’s name was David and he truly was professional. I would recommend everyone to ask for him when you go to Tidelands. He even called me three times after the sale to ask how I am doing. 5 stars!! More

How I've always wished buying a car would be Went to see Dave at Tidelands based on a referral from a dear friend of mine that bought from Dave and had nothing but good things to say about not ju Went to see Dave at Tidelands based on a referral from a dear friend of mine that bought from Dave and had nothing but good things to say about not just Dave, but the entire experience and dealership. Well I wasn't disappointed!! I HATE "HATED" BUYING CARS!!!! That's completely changed. I can honestly say it was fun buying a car for the first time in my life. I purchased a 2018 Ford Expedition and was going to also look at the Tahoe, Yukon and the Honda Pilot. Never happened! I'm extremely busy and it's hard for me to spend hours at a dealership and I explained this to Dave. This is where it gets good. Dave literally brought the vehicle I wanted to my office (different color than i wanted but actually ended up liking it more) and went over all the features and we took it for a ride. I had a trade in (2014 Honda Pilot) and Dave was able to get it appraised for me without even having to go to the dealership!! So I walked out of my office (not onto a car lot) got to look at the Expedition pressure free on my terms!! I called Dave an hour or so later and told him to get me some numbers. He called me back within 30 minutes with options. ACTUAL OPTIONS!! He quoted me the bottom line price and gave me several finance options along with lease options!! Remember, I've never even been to the dealership at this point! I asked him if he could do a little better on my trade in amount and we were able to quickly come to an agreement. 2 hours later, Dave was back at my office with all the paperwork!!! I signed all the documents, Dave connected my phone to my new car, covered everything about the car and then some, and off he went in my trade in!! I was/am floored! Finally a dealership that allows the customer to buy on their terms, not on the dealerships terms alone!! I wish Tidelands could literally train the whole auto industry on how to treat people. I WILL NEVER BUY FROM ANYWHERE ELSE IN MY LIFE!! Thanks Tidelands! More

Love my 3rd new Lincoln I have purchased 3 new Lincoln’s over the past 10 years from this local dealership and the sales experience has gotten better each time.

POOR SERVICE DEPARTMENT I leased, really glad I didn't purchase, a 2015 Lincoln MKZ and was extremely happy with the entire sales experience. That's the best I can say about I leased, really glad I didn't purchase, a 2015 Lincoln MKZ and was extremely happy with the entire sales experience. That's the best I can say about the dealership. Almost from the start, I complained about the suspension on the car to be told it was normal. I took the car in for my free oil change and they would not give me my keys until I paid for it! It was to be free! After getting my salesperson involved, who involved the owner, they said it was a computer mix-up. WHAT! Then the suspension problems were addressed again only to be told everything was normal. After complaining loudly, they took the car in and rotated and balanced the tires to reveal that the rear tires were flat spotted. That issue was never dealt with. After many more complaints ending with the rear tires completely shot, they still refused to address the problem and then told to replace the tires and they would see if the problem was still there! The tires were not the problem. This should all be warranty issues covered under bumper to bumper coverage. Called Lincoln to complain and they were helpful, so I thought. I was told they would contact the dealership. This was over a month ago and still have not heard from either the dealership or Lincoln. I will never deal with this dealership again. More

2016 explore Brought my 2016 explorer and because sync did not work. They told me the only fix for this was to disengage the battery let it sit for five minute Brought my 2016 explorer and because sync did not work. They told me the only fix for this was to disengage the battery let it sit for five minutes and then re-hook up . I called Ford today and found out there's been a fix all along they were lazy and did not want to do it so I am taking my car to Conway ford where they've treated me a lot better than Tidelands did. I will never purchase another car from them or give them a good recommendation. The service department I found unprofessional throwing stuff at each other when I walked in. More

Service Dept Does Not Care I drive a 2013 Ford Super Duty diesel with 44,000 miles and a check engine light came on. Ford diesels will go into limp mode and shut down for some s I drive a 2013 Ford Super Duty diesel with 44,000 miles and a check engine light came on. Ford diesels will go into limp mode and shut down for some sensor issues. I live 3 hours away and was not sure that I could make it home so I called Tidelands on a Friday morning and was informed that I could come by but they didn't have time to look at it. I explained that I lived 3 hours away and had a wife and 3 kids with me and I COULD NOT take a chance of broken down on the side is the road. I begged for someone to at least check the code to see if it had to be repaired immediately. The service man told me to call Beach Ford. So, I will be moving to this area in a year or so and have just taken these xxxxxxxx off of my list. As a business owner who owns 15 service vehicles, I may take Ford off my list with dealers like this. More

He was courteous and could not have asked for a better professional salesperson. He left the dealership sometime afterwards and I really don't know what happened, but as far as the service and help, given by the present staff at Tidelands it is not worth saying. I took my car in for service and problems being encountered with my vehicle and I was told nothing could be done because rain was causing the computer to go crazy. I said then there must be a leak somewhere in the system and the service manager just laughed. Never did get it taken care of either. Then I tried to get help with the GPS and again no HELP. Then 2 weeks after having my vehicle serviced the battery had to be replaced because the terminals were corroded so bad the battery had to be replaced. Luckily my wife was home when this occurred or she could have been stranded somewhere. Wish you luck if you deal with Tidelands Ford... More
