Pain Free Vehicle Purchase Purchasing vehicles is not high on my "likes" list. This was my first experience with Bozard Ford and I have to say that it was as painless as it coul Purchasing vehicles is not high on my "likes" list. This was my first experience with Bozard Ford and I have to say that it was as painless as it could be. Having worked out the pricing with Jim Duran before ever setting foot on the property was particularly useful. I let him know when I would be in to test drive the vehicle and it happened to be that he was not at the dealership that day. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that he passed on my info to Jeremy Criscione without missing any details. I half expected to have to start from scratch but Jeremy was aware of everything that Jim and I had worked out over email. After the test drive and demonstration from Jeremy, I was promptly moved onto Finance with Erik Shipley. Erik performed his due diligence in producing a contract that I was happy with and also that matched up with the numbers that Jim and I had worked out originally. Again, a pleasant surprise, as in past experience with vehicle purchases additional charges not previously discussed always seem to reveal themselves at this point on the contract. It was refreshing to see that the "out the door" cost that I was provided in the beginning rang true through to the end. Once I signed over the pre-approved credit union voucher I was out the door. The car was detailed and ready to go once my business was complete in Finance and off I went. Professional and efficient is how I would describe this operation. They are very concerned that the customer is happy! More

First time buyer, customer for life My son bought his first car at this dealership. We were looking for a place that wouldn't give us a run around. We were pre-approved before we even My son bought his first car at this dealership. We were looking for a place that wouldn't give us a run around. We were pre-approved before we even drove to the dealer (which was 2 1/2 hours away). Jim our sales person and AJ our finance person were phenomenal in giving us the information we needed and making sure we understood every aspect of our transaction. Not to mention the excellent customer service we received. We drove home in our new Chevy Camaro and couldn't be happier!!! We will definitely be repeat customers. Way to make car buying enjoyable. Thank you guys!! More

Truck Shopping I intended to be truck shopping but by the time I left Bozard I was buying and driving the truck I had been looking at all along. I thought the price I intended to be truck shopping but by the time I left Bozard I was buying and driving the truck I had been looking at all along. I thought the price was very fair and the trade-in for my old truck was perfect. I really liked working with Jim Duran and A.J. Miller. Jim is a great person to go to purchase a vehicle. He dedicated all his time to show and tell us about the truck I wanted to buy. A.J. Miller was great with the financial part of the experience. I highly recommend trying them out if your looking for a vehicle. And they have plenty! More

Buying Experience I think the highest recommendation you can give a dealership is if you would buy from them again. We definitely would. In fact, if we were looking f I think the highest recommendation you can give a dealership is if you would buy from them again. We definitely would. In fact, if we were looking for another car and our first choice was not a Ford or Lincoln, we would be swayed to buying a Ford or Lincoln just for the peace of mind of buying with Bozard. More
