I did not expect to buy my new F150 Lariat on the visit I made to the dealer. I did though because thay had the truck I wanted at the price I wanted to pay minus my trade-in. Even though my trade qualified made to the dealer. I did though because thay had the truck I wanted at the price I wanted to pay minus my trade-in. Even though my trade qualified for Cash4clunkers, the F150 did not. But in actuality, i am getting far better mileage on the F150 than I ever did on the 4Runner. Did I say I love my F150! I would recommend that Jack Madden NOT use their outsourced radio/nav installers. They wanted way too much for the OEM NAV install. I put in my own for a third the cost. More
I stopped into Jack Madden Ford to inquire about the Ford Escape. I was met with a friendly greeting and received immediate service. Decue asked me a few questions about what I was looking for and a price r Escape. I was met with a friendly greeting and received immediate service. Decue asked me a few questions about what I was looking for and a price range I was comfortable with. I was then able to take an Escape for a test drive! When we returned Decue ran some numbers for me so I could get a better idea about the price I would be looking at. The staff at Jack Madden was very accommadating and understanding. I wasn't looking to buy a vehicle that day, but I wouldn't hestitate to go back to this dealership in the future! More
We've purchased two Ford vehicles this year from Jack Madden Ford. The dealership has been in existence for quite a while, but we didn't know much about them or how good their reputation was. In March, w Madden Ford. The dealership has been in existence for quite a while, but we didn't know much about them or how good their reputation was. In March, we went to look at the Ford Edge which is when we met Gary Brigham. He was very friendly and knowledgeable about the Edge and, within a couple of weeks, we bought our 2008 Ford Edge. We love the vehicle and were very satisfied with the final sales price that Gary gave us. Last weekend, we picked up our 2010 Ford Fusion SEL. Because of the positive experience we had with Gary earlier in the year, we wanted to work with him again on purchasing the Fusion. We had actually started looking at Fusions in September or early October and met with Gary several times. One thing that really impressed us about him was that there were no harassing follow-up phone calls or letters mailed to us. He knew that when we were ready to buy, we would call or stop by the dealership. The Fusion is a great vehicle and we felt that we got a fair price on it from Gary. If any of our friends or relatives are ever in the market for a new (or used) vehicle, we would definitely recommend that they talk with Gary Brigham at Jack Madden Ford. Also, to date, their Service Department has been excellent. Pat and Jeff Clark Norton, MA More
I have paint peeling on the roof of my 2004 Explorer (I purchased at Jack Madden Ford). I called the Service Dept at Jack Madden Ford to inquire about this problem and Joe answered the problem. He interu purchased at Jack Madden Ford). I called the Service Dept at Jack Madden Ford to inquire about this problem and Joe answered the problem. He interupted me about 5 seconds into my explanation about the roof, saying rudely "that's not covered under the warranty." When I said that it looks like a common problem of Ford Explorers and asked what Jack Madden was doing about it for its customers he said again (loudly and rudely), "it's not covered under warranty" and when I told him I had an extended warranty, he cut me off before I could finish saying "extended" and said, "it's not covered in that warranty either... Ford Motor complany doesn't pay us to fix chipped paint, and we don't do it for free." Guy was a jerk... plain and simple. This Joe guy is just killing business for Jack Madden because I'm in the market for a new Ford Fusion and I will not be taking my business to Jack Madden because of Joe in the Service Department.

This dealership rates ZERO in customer service. I brought my mother in to buy a new a car on Saturday Sept 12. I made it very clear at the start of the business that I intended to pay cash for the car. Pat F my mother in to buy a new a car on Saturday Sept 12. I made it very clear at the start of the business that I intended to pay cash for the car. Pat Ford comes out and tells me that we can save an add'l $500 on this vehicle if we will agree to finance. Not what I wanted to do, but ok if it will save Mom another $500. We agree on the price and begin the long drawn out process of financing. We were introduced to Lee, who I also made very clear to the only reason I was financing was to receive the add'l $500 rebate, and the car would be paid off with the first statement. He seemed to understand at the time. They told her to come back at 2 on Monday and pick up her new car. She picks up the car, no problems, car is registered, inspected, insured in her name, drives off, all is fine. She receives a phone call from Lee on Tuesday, 24 hours AFTER she already owns the car and he tells her she needs to come back to the dealership to sign a loan paper because the bank didn't accept the first one. I call and ask him why? What is changing? He assures me nothing is changing, the interest rate went down. I remind him once again that I don't care what the rate is, we are not carrying out the terms of the loan, we will pay it in full with the first coupon. He again tells me nothing is changing except the interest rate and the bank won't accept it. She goes and signs the paper as requested. She finds out a week later when she gets her statement from the bank that this new loan paper she signed was so they didn't have to honor the $500 rebate that they offered her to finance the car! After 3 weeks and 13 unanswered phone messages to the dealership, I was finally able to speak to Steve Carter, general manager. He says they did nothing wrong, this is normal business practice. They assure me she did not pay another $500 for the car even though that's what the bank papers show. I think the whole deal is fraudulent and will never deal with them again. I think that 8 messages left for the general manager, 2 for Pat Ford, and 3 for Jack Madden himself, that all went unreturned is pretty poor customer service! More
We were just looking, not planning to buy. Fast Talking Sales Associate Aaron Williams talked so much he convinced us to buy afater he kept slashing his price. We signed a contract for a fully loaded Ford Sales Associate Aaron Williams talked so much he convinced us to buy afater he kept slashing his price. We signed a contract for a fully loaded Ford Edge Limited Edition. I gave him $500.00 in cash and the whole sale was to be cash. That was Thursady August 13, 2009. Saturday and Sunday Williams called numerous times trying to convince us to take another Ford Edge. He stated our was not in yet but he had another identical one without the navigation system. When pressed he admitted that the interior color was different but everything else was exactly the same, and he kept focusing on the CD player, a pidley thing in my eyes. That got me suspicious. We looked at the other 'identical' car on Sunday and found Williams was attempting to pass off a Ford Edge Sport with very few of the same features as being identical to the fully loaded Ford Edge Limited Edition we had contracted for. We told him we were not interested. I also informed him that their website stated the car we contracted for was in their lot. Williams insisted it had not come in but was on it's way. This was dragged out for another few days. For at least five days their website had our car car listed but he kept putting me off saying it hadn't come in and trying to sell me an inferior model than we had ordered. Williams was willing to come down slightly on the price if we would take the other car, the Sport, but when the math was done we would have been paying more for less. After a week of Williams's fast talking bull we said enogh is enough. We cancelled the order. Sales manager Pat Ford contacted us and when we spoke to him he told us to call him back the next day. We called back and we got another 'manager' who identified himself as 'one desk over from Pat Ford' no name. He tried to say we had put down a $100 deposit and when we corrected him he stated they would 'cut a check' for the $500.00 cash we had paid. The check was suppose to be mailed to us, but it did not come. A week later we spoke to the same Manager'one desk over from Pat Ford'(no name again) and he assured us that the check was in the mail. All together we have made six calls to them about the refund of our deposit. It has been almost three weeks since I was first told the check was being mailed and today Pat Ford once again told me the check was just waiting for a signature. I am getting fed up. If I do not have the check by next week I will take legal action but if I am forced to do that I will also contact the local media to make sure other people are aware of the unsavory business practices of Jack Madden Ford, Norwood so hopefully we can save someone else the headaches we have gone through with this company.

SHIFTY, SLICKSTERS...BUY ELSEWHERE First, let me say SHIFTY, SLICKSTERS...BUY ELSEWHERE First, let me say this was to do with the "Cash for Clunker" program. I literally have spent hours researching de SHIFTY, SLICKSTERS...BUY ELSEWHERE First, let me say this was to do with the "Cash for Clunker" program. I literally have spent hours researching dealers on the internet getting prices and availability...very few dealers had the manual transmission Focus and I was willing to drive 270 miles plus tolls on the Mass Pike from CT to get it...buying an automatic would not just cost $815 but since the MPG is just a hair less, I would just qualify for $3,500 and not the $4500, making the automatic in reality become an $1,815 option. I called in late June and was told to wait until program started... OK, I did...the salesman, Aaron, a real slick fast talking, "cool mover and shaker" type, would constantly interrupt me when I was asking a question. He said he never got ANY of my emails,"must have gone into the spam folder"....H E L L O, if customer emails are not arriving either check spam folder or modify your mail system. He also very rarely returned voicemail calls. The initial price of vehicle, changed twice..we finally came to some agreement, but I had to physically sign some C4C documents and they would not release the new car until they "physically had the government money in their hands" Undaunted, I still was going to pursue this...I called to state I would be at their showroom at 9 AM the next morning...Aaron had left for the day; spoke with Pat Ford, sales manager who launches this one..."Oh we don't even want to do a C4C trade in over state lines" I was so annoyed all I could say was "Thanks Jack Madden Ford for wasting my time for the past month" Yes, I bought a Focus elsewhere and while I was waiting this whole thing out received an additional Ford Cash incentive in the mail for an $750 which could be used with ALL current incentives. If you plan to buy from Jack Madden DO YOUR HOMEWORK FIRST...then go elsewhere. More
My reason for approaching Jack Madden Ford was due to a close friend's recommendation. Quite simply, working with Sean Evans at Jack Madden Ford was the best car buying experience I've had. He is their close friend's recommendation. Quite simply, working with Sean Evans at Jack Madden Ford was the best car buying experience I've had. He is their Internet Sales Consultant, and was prompt with accurate and direct follow up. Nothing that was stated during our email exchanges leading up to my dealership visit changed or was modified when I sat down with him to work out a deal. He was thorough in terms of preparation in showing me the exact vehicles (4) that I specified in my emails. Additionally, he walked through the options and details of each vehicle I was reviewing allowing to test drive all the vehicles. Overall, I would highly recommend Jack Madden Ford for a new or used Ford vehicle purchase and strongly recommend Sean Evans as your sales consultant. More
Our experience with the folks at Jack Madden Ford was great. After several months of looking for a used SUV and dealing with various dealerships (and all there B.S.). We finally found a vehicle that we great. After several months of looking for a used SUV and dealing with various dealerships (and all there B.S.). We finally found a vehicle that we were looking for with the mileage and price we were willing to pay. After e-mailing Sean Evans about our interest in the vehicle, he returned a phone call to us the next day, then confirmed our appointment the following day to come and test drive this vehicle. Once we arrived at the dealership, we were greeted by Sean. Who was very professional and was wonderful to deal with. The vehicle was right out front and we took it for a test drive. Upon returning to the dealership, Sean explained everything about the vehicle, had our trade already appraised. After some negotiations with Sean and his manager (who was also very pleasent to deal with, we ended-up agreeing on a deal and we purchased a 2005 Ford Escape. After years of purchasing vehicles and dealing with all types of dealerships, salesman, etc. we must say the Sean Evans is the best. He is very customer focused and a pleasure to deal with. He takes the time to answer any quetions you have, takes time listen to what you have to say and is more than willing to work with you and not against you. If you plan on purchasing a vehicle, go to Jack Madden Ford and ask for Sean Evans. Total time we spent from arrival to driving away in our Ford Escape was about 4hrs which went by fast, because of Sean Evans. And the finance person we dealt with was also very professional and a pleasure to work with. More
I couldnt agree more with the previous post. I went in for service, and Joe at the service desk was very rude and condescending to my husband and I. I initially brought my car in for repairs because there for service, and Joe at the service desk was very rude and condescending to my husband and I. I initially brought my car in for repairs because there was a loud noise that sounded like metal to metal, and was told that I could "take it or leave it" when given the cost of repairs. I needed my car fixed, and it was pretty much held hostage at Jack Madden Ford. I had no choice but to go ahead with the fix. The manager, however, was very nice, although he didnt seem phased at the actions of Joe. I have delt with the young girl behind the desk previously, and she was very nice to me, even offered to give a discount. My advice, if you must go to this dealership to have your car fixed-STEER CLEAR OF JOE IN SERVICE DEPT! More
