Keith Cox at Countryside Ford of Clearwater

We were very happy to find that there was a "team" working with us. No one person with an agenda pushed us. Keith Cox is a professional who knows his products as well as how to treat a potential customer. I will recommend him to anyone I talk to who is even thinking about buying a car.

The team work aspect started from the first contact I made at the dealership. Jim Ballard introduced himself to my wife and I when we walked up to the featured cars in the front. We eventually learned that all of the sales people were assisting other customers. He introduced himself as the manager and proceeded to listen to what we were interested in purchasing. I had rented a Mazda 3 (5 door) on a business trip to Atlanta, and was very impressed with the ride, room, and especially the gas mileage.

My wife seemed to favor the 4 door sedan and Jim took us over to the line to look at some. He excused himself and returned with Keith, who answered all of my technical questions. Jim directed us to some some sedans, in order to see how they drive. Keith sat in the back while we both drove, and educated us on why a Mazda is so highly rated. My own research (through Edmunds.com) and previous ownership of a Mazda MPV for 110K miles steered me to Countryside Mazda (in live in Tampa). How fortunate for us.

When we finished the test drive, we found that Jim had a Grand Touring sedan waiting for us. He was intuitive enough to listen closely to my needs and found the perfect car for us from his inventory.This impressed me and I knew we were in the right place. Though we were not prepared to make a purchase that evening, the team (with Dale Hedding) put a financial scenario together for us to consider. AT no time were we "brow beaten" or pressured. That would have sent us walking, never to return.

We needed a few days to get a better picture of our finances, and Keith and Jim only called to offer their cell numbers, in case we had any questions. These two gentlemen are THE reason that we never looked anywhere else. The most pleasant car buying experience that I have had in the past 30 years.

Great, Great, Great. This was the best car buying experience I have ever had. Keith was great taking me through the process and Eric was fast and explained everything. I would recommend that anyone looking for a car new or used check out Countryside Ford.

Buying a vehicle from Keith was effortless. He provided friendly service, superb price and explained all the aspects of the truck, including programming the bluetooth and the benefits of the ecoboost.

I was very pleased with our experience at Countryside Ford. Jeremy and Keith were courteous and knowledgeable in dealing
with us through this process. Thanks for them. Also, want to recognize Jerry in the Service Department. He was courteous
and knowledgeable and so patient with us, even when we weren't Thanks for him, too.

We came in to look at a vehicle, then changed our minds to another vehicle and the staff did everything to get everything done so we could drive home that night in our new car.

I sent out emails to every Ford Dealership within 70 miles of my home. I received only 1 response and it was within 15 minutes of my submission and that was from Countryside Ford. The email response said I would be contacted by a salesperson as soon as possible. Within 10 mins of that email I received a call from Keith Cox about my inquiry. He was very helpful with answering all of my questions. To date I have not received a response from any other dealer! Due to Keith's exceptional customer service and quick response time as soon as the car I want comes in stock I will make my purchase from him and Countryside Ford.

Well I was given the opportunity to buy a car for my 18th birthday ( parents treat) and of all places to buy a car I got mine from coy.teysode Ford. I think that Keith cox is the reason I even got the car. He helped me with all the financing and gave me a really good price even after knowing all I had to work with. He knew how important it was for me to get my first car. I give him this rating because he deserves it. He actually cared about me as a customer and took the time to get my financing situated so I could get my car. Great salesman! Thanks Mr. Keith!
