WOW!! first time buyer on a new truck 500 miles away, Woody and the crew at Akins made it so easy. Communication was great email/phone, I could not believe how they took care of it by fedx the paper wor Woody and the crew at Akins made it so easy. Communication was great email/phone, I could not believe how they took care of it by fedx the paper work to be signed and then pick me up at airport to see my beautiful new truck. And also the price could not be beaten at any local dealership in my home town.(saved thousand's $) I just said well I guess I'll give this a shot and buy it 500 miles away. It could not have worked out any better, price, customer service, pick up at airport, what more could you need. I was also shocked to see how huge this dealership was, thousand's of cars, trucks, very impressive. Owner/Akins was right there in middle of showroom taking care of business. Good to see that. My next buy will surely have Akins on the list to look. Thanks Woody and the crew for my first online buying 500 miles away to be a pleasant experience. More

I was impressed by the way my car purchase was completed. Most of the work was done on line and about an hour at the dealership and I was on my way. Very good service!

My experience with this dealership was great and everyone was friendly and very helpful with any questions I had. The 4.5 drive from Savannah was worth it.

Eric was so helpful in getting details as the car was being built and shipped to us - ordered in Dec 2012 but knew it would not begin to be built util Feb 2013. Then the recall for the headlights postpo being built and shipped to us - ordered in Dec 2012 but knew it would not begin to be built util Feb 2013. Then the recall for the headlights postponed it again. Eric kept us informed all along the way. Woody was waiting for us when we arrived at the dealership and had everything ready to proceed - very professional and yet made us feel like family! Bill was also very professional in closing out the financial side and even shopped the best rates and gave us options before signing. We had a more than pleasant experience - for the second time at Brad Akins Ford dealership. God bless you Brad, Bill, Eric, and Woody! We are thankful for you all! More

I just purchased a 2013 Ford F150 XLT and I am very pleased at the experience and the price. I'm a long time F-150 fan and ever since the crew cab came out I've wanted one but couldn't afford it new wh pleased at the experience and the price. I'm a long time F-150 fan and ever since the crew cab came out I've wanted one but couldn't afford it new which is how I prefer to buy. I did a search for new F150 XLTs within 500 miles of Atlanta and Winder came up as the lowest priced. And not just because it was a sale or end of the month or end of the year, but April 2nd the price was so low I was very very suspicious. Usually $12K off a truck is for 3 or 4 trucks out of a group of 40-70 on the lot, but at Akins it seemingly was on every last one. So I was intrigued and contacted the dealership. Woody Sowder and Sam Byrd. To my surprise, the price was as advertised and no gimmicks. To be honest, there wasn't much haggling to do because the price was just too good to pass up. But even though I knew it was a good deal, I wanted to sleep on it. Buying a car is not fun and sometimes I absolutely want to pull away and look over stuff in private before I commit. Sam had no problem with that, didn't bother me with "what can I do today to make you buy this car" or the "I'm not going to let you walk out of here until..." kind of stuff that frankly to me is a red flag. It was like here's the deal, keep a copy of it, if you want to go home and think about it then that's not a problem. I appreciate that relaxed style of salesmanship that comes from the confidence of knowing you've got the best deal going. I woke up the next morning happy to buy this car. Financing was no problem, simple, quick and friendly and no pressure to change things. That was great. Woody showed me around the truck and I was gone. Leaving lots of stuff in my beloved old F-150. I guess I was excited. I probably won't buy another car for 10 or so years, that's the plan. So I won't be back necessarily any time soon but if someone were to ask me my advice I'd tell them that when I bought my F-150 I searched around, I priced searched on the internet and that led me to Akins where I got a lot off and had a simple, professional and friendly car buying experience and thus I highly recommend them. Even enough to write out this recommendation online. More

Pricing was awesome! We just loved the no haggle and low price. While securing insurance I recommended Akins and Woody to the insurance customer service person who lives in Chattanooga, TN. He said that h price. While securing insurance I recommended Akins and Woody to the insurance customer service person who lives in Chattanooga, TN. He said that he's in the market for a car and would make the 3 hour drive to check out the dealership. Woody was very customer service oriented and did his best to make our experience as seamless as possible. We did wait 2 hours for the car to be cleaned up to take home. Shipping plastic was stuck to the door handles, scratched chrome on driver window trim as well as passenger that Woody found and had his manager approve for replacement. Upon further inspection after driving away we found white smudges on center armrest in front and doors as well as some dirt. More

I was in the market for a pick-up truck and was referred to Akins Ford by a mutual acquaintance. This acquaintance noted that the Akins Team will work with you to meet your requirements in the vehicle you a to Akins Ford by a mutual acquaintance. This acquaintance noted that the Akins Team will work with you to meet your requirements in the vehicle you are looking for and with the price. This referral was dead on the mark. Woody Sowder provided excellent customer service, was easy to work with and demonstrated exceptional knowledge of the vehicles I was interested in. Most important, he was not pushy and allowed me the time to review the vehicles I was considering. In my case Woody and I worked together to define what I was looking for in a vehicle to meet my requirements and desires. With this in mind, Woody was attuned to my specific requirements. And, deliver he did--- working with Jason McDaniel the two of them delivered the F150 I was looking for in accessories and price. The follow-on support of paperwork and readying the vehicle was well done. Really my most painless experience of many car purchases over the years. Well done! More
