I paid $15,000 for a new engine installation on my 2017 F-150 in November 2025, which came with a 3-year warranty. The service department’s work has been unreliable and costly. Less than two hours after p F-150 in November 2025, which came with a 3-year warranty. The service department’s work has been unreliable and costly. Less than two hours after picking up the truck, it broke down outside the Mobile tunnel. It was towed back to Chuck Stevens, where they later claimed the transmission had failed and it wasn’t their responsibility. I had it towed to Advanced Transmission, where technicians discovered the dealership had failed to add transmission fluid. I ended up needing a full transmission replacement and was without my truck until January 2026. Last month the check engine light came on, accompanied by rattling. I had the truck towed to Sandy Sansing Ford in Daphne, who recommended returning it to Chuck Stevens because they had taken shortcuts when installing my engine plus old engine parts in place of the new parts I purchased. I notified Chuck Stevens that the truck was en route. After a week with no update, I called and spoke with a service advisor (name not caught) who promised a callback the following week — which never came. When I showed up in person, I spoke with Balen. He was combative, questioned the Sandy Sansing report, and only after I asked to speak with the GM did he go look for them (they were reportedly unavailable). Balen said he would call me on Monday with an update. He didn’t. My wife runs a successful sourdough baking business, and we depend on this truck to haul products to weekend vendor markets. We’ve lost sales and profits, and our family of three has been juggling just two vehicles. When I mentioned this to Balen, he seemed unbothered and stated the dealership would not compensate us for the inconvenience. I am now escalating this to Ford Customer Service and requesting a formal case number. I deeply regret trusting Chuck Stevens Ford with the engine replacement and would strongly advise others against using their service department for any repairs — even something as simple as replacing a tire valve cap.

Got one key with vehicle battery is definitely low sales person new it at time of delivery didn’t seem to care. Tried getting new battery and he completely ignored us the following day. Like he said you bought it. My fault for not getting it in writing and allowing them to have me sign nothing owed before even checking everything out. More

Okay, I made a offer for a vehicle online from this dealership. The sales Manger ( not really a sales manger), told me about the vehicle and didn't disclose any problems with suv, and pictures online dealership. The sales Manger ( not really a sales manger), told me about the vehicle and didn't disclose any problems with suv, and pictures online looked well. Sale management said that they couldn't sell for this price but we left it at that and I gave the dealership what I could pay for a used vehicle. Four days later the sales manger( later found out that wasn't a sale manger) call me back on the phone and said did I still want the suv for that price. I said I didn't and was told that he would start paperwork, I agreed and said I would come by with check and drive and we could finalize then if everything checked. Still was under the impression everything was good. No info for two days, I reached back out and then was told, the deal was off via text, because he couldn't get to the price agreed apon. I call and talk to the salesperson ( not a manger) and he basic just left it at the point of he couldn't get price to where it need to be. Call general manager and told him with no response ( not that I wanted or need one but just felt gm need to know) he then disclosed vehicle wasn't drivable do to transmission issues. Info gm that would buy from this dealership at this point anyway and he just went on and on about we didn't have a deal and the dealership didn't do anything wrong. So glad the purchase fell thru, feel like if you have to do business this way people should know. Just my opinion More

Korey, Shannon, & Todd were all good to help at getting my purchase. This was my first time making a deal with Shannon and Todd but my husband and I have talked with Korey several times and he always gets my purchase.

The entire crew at Chuck Stevens was incredible! We live on the north side of Atlanta and had been searching for a very specific Ram 1500 for almost a month. My husband and I were up late every nig We live on the north side of Atlanta and had been searching for a very specific Ram 1500 for almost a month. My husband and I were up late every night looking on all the car search websites and finally find what we were looking for at Chuck Stevens. We put a huge emphasis on Customer Service, especially when we are vehicle shopping, so no matter how good a vehicle is we will not purchase one unless the customer service matches up. It was late at night and my husband sent a message on the vehicle and within five minutes Korey (the dealership manager) had responded. From that moment forward, he was diligent about answering every question we had effectively and efficiently. There was zero pressure to buy the truck, just open, honest communication. At this point, we had actually narrowed down to three trucks and within 24 hours my husband knew this was the one solely based on the excellent customer service. They took our verbal commitment that we would be driving down from Atlanta the following day and that they would reserve the vehicle. This was a used vehicle and they even fixed a small dent in the bumper. We were able to handle 95% of the transaction before we got there. And when we pulled into the dealership Brittany (the co-salesperson with Korey) was waiting outside by the truck for us. They all greeted us, asked us how our drive was and if we needed anything to eat or drink. They let us transfer all our personal items from our trade-in to the new truck before we even did the transaction (it was late, cold and rainy). We completed the remaining 5% of the transaction with Cameron, who was also extremely knowledgeable and helpful, and then we were on our way. We’ve had a couple questions since we left and Korey answered them immediately. It’s clear they run their business based on trust and value of the customer. We just bought our truck yesterday and have already passed on their info to multiple friends and family. Even though Chuck Stevens dealership is five hours from our home we will definitely make the drive for any future cars we need. More
After spending weeks searching for a Ram 3500, I was able to locate one online at Chuck Stevens Dodge in Bay Minette Alabama. I sent an inquiry along with my trade information The online trade system was to locate one online at Chuck Stevens Dodge in Bay Minette Alabama. I sent an inquiry along with my trade information The online trade system was easy to use and gave me an idea of what the trade difference was so I could see ahead of time if the deal was inline with the payment and price I was looking for. Once I completed the online figures I was immediately contacted by Gary King and Todd Sellers from the sales department asking if I had any questions and getting the final details of the trade. They informed me they would need some time to review everything and call me back. They kept me updated the entire time as they worked on the trade appraisal. Once the figures were decided and the deal was made, they completed everything in a timely fashion ( I am in Wash DC, they are in Alabama) . I shipped the trade and picked up my new used vehicle and I couldn't be happier. They are a fantastic dealership to work with, treated me fairly and honestly and great communication throughout. I highly recommend Todd Sellers and Gary King and would definitely purchase another vehicle from them. More
