The price was reasonable and within the range we had expected to pay for the vehicle. We were impressed with how the sales representative disclosed the fees up front and did not haggle over little details. We would definitely recommend this dealership. It was worth the 45 minute drive to Winder. More

Todd Durham was not only very helpful and knowledgeable but was able to answer all our questions. He was honest and was very helpful in helping us make a decision about which truck we were going to purchas but was able to answer all our questions. He was honest and was very helpful in helping us make a decision about which truck we were going to purchase. Todd made sure we had an appointment for the following Monday, before we left. There were a couple of additions to the truck that were part of our sales choice. When I arrived on Monday Todd was there to greet me and our work was completed in a reasonable amount of time. The dealership was very busy but I was asked repeatedly if I needed anything or was updated on the work. This dealership is one of the cleanest I have ever been in. The work area was so clean you would never know the cars were being serviced. I also noticed how neatly dressed everyone was both in the dealership and in the service area. That is a very nice appeal for people who are coming to the dealership for work. Overall, my husband and I felt that Todd Durham was an excellent salesman. We have never been fond of buying cars or trucks because we cannot stand to have salesmen accost us and press. Todd did just the opposite. He did not sing the praises of every vehicle. My husband had exactly what he wanted to purchase firmly planted in his mind and Todd listened carefully, showing Mike and I, both exactly what Mike wanted and discussing at great length engine questions, interior questions and general questions. We never felt pressured. Another thing my husband really liked was that Todd took the time to show him all the items that are represented on the steering column and the front panel. This was even BEFORE we determined that we were going to make a purchase. The paperwork went smoothly and we felt good. We did not have to finance so we felt that was a positive in our favor. Thanks so much Todd...excellent job. More

We purchased a 2013 Expedition this past week working with Andy and Jeff. We were referred to Andy by a satisfied friend who purchased through Akins. However, we are not new to Akins.....this Expeditio with Andy and Jeff. We were referred to Andy by a satisfied friend who purchased through Akins. However, we are not new to Akins.....this Expedition is our 7th new vehicle purchased through Akins over a 25 year span of time. We were greeted courteously, the transaction was professional and accurate. My husband and I are both working professionals and our time was treated with respect and never wasted during the process. Everything was made very convenient for us during the selection process. While we appreciated the service during the sale, I must tell you that the OUTSTANDING service throughout ownership of the vehicle is what keeps us coming back. Every interaction we have had with service after the sale .....has been stellar. The service standards at Akins Ford cause us to go one place when it's time for another vehicle.....back to Akins!

We found a 2012 Ford Explorer on the Akins Web Site that had everything we were looking for. We called and spoke to Jeff Little and tod him he wanted to come look at it but that we lived 65 miles away. Jeff had everything we were looking for. We called and spoke to Jeff Little and tod him he wanted to come look at it but that we lived 65 miles away. Jeff said he would hold the vehicle until we arrived and sure enough when we arrived he was waiting on us and had it parked by the front door. Jeff was very informative about the vehicle and was eager for us to test drive it, which we did. Upon arriving back at the Dealership we told Jeff that loved the vehicle but we needed one with a Tow Package, which this vehicle didn't have at which time he said their shop could install a factory hitch and wiring if we wanted. Jeff gave us a price, including the hitch, which was very good but was still more than we had budgeted for so we made a counter offer. Jeff said he would have to talk to the Sales Manager about our offer at which time he left and returned a short time later. Jeff told us that Akins was in the business of selling cars and making customers happy over making a lot of money and said that our offer was acceptable. We did the paperwork and now own a beautiful Explorer. I will definitely return to Akins Ford in the future when I decide to purchase my next vehicle and I will hopefully have the pleasure of dealing with Jeff Little again. Jeff is a fair and honest gentleman and he is an asset to Akins Ford. We visited over a dozen dealerships prior to Akins and we wish we had gone there first. More

I recently visited Akins Ford in Winder and purchased a 2011 Ford Focus, and I must say the experience from start to finish was top-notch. Upon arrival I was greeted by Mr. Dove. I let him know what I wa 2011 Ford Focus, and I must say the experience from start to finish was top-notch. Upon arrival I was greeted by Mr. Dove. I let him know what I was looking for in the way of gas-mileage, price, dependability, etc. Richard was very knowledgeable about the product and thorough while looking through a few vehicles. We came upon the Focus and I am very happy with the purchase. I haven't had any issues thus far and the gas mileage is great. Everyone there was friendly and helpful, especially Mr. Richard Dove. He was a sweetheart and did not oversell. Good job to everyone there and I will most certainly be recommending Akins Ford to family and friends. Some people say purchasing a car is stressful and to them I say- visit Akins Ford and see Richard Dove; your worries will disappear quickly. Thank you guys so much! Nellie Thomas More
