Once again, I experienced a pain-free and supportive environment for my car purchase. This is the third vehicle from Leif Johnson, and now my son is a loyal customer after Thomas helped him get his firs environment for my car purchase.

What started as a nightmare turned into a beautiful new beginning. I was in Austin with my teenage daughter for a nursing camp at UT. I didn’t come to buy a new car—it wasn’t even on my radar. But on Th beginning. I was in Austin with my teenage daughter for a nursing camp at UT. I didn’t come to buy a new car—it wasn’t even on my radar. But on Thursday, June 12, a warning light came on in my Expedition. By the time I pulled into Leif Johnson Ford’s service center, the entire vehicle went haywire. I was three hours from home, without my husband, and emotionally unraveling while trying to figure out what to do. As I stood next to my broken-down SUV, gathering my things for the rental car, I was approached by the service manager, John Teller. He didn’t start by talking about the car—he focused on me. His kindness and empathy in that moment meant more than I can say. While talking with the rental agent, Daniel, I mentioned my interest in Broncos. Not only did he put me in a Bronco as my rental, but he took the time to walk me through all the features and how to use them. That’s when I met Thomas Almaraz from sales. I’ll be honest—I didn’t want to deal with a salesperson. I was vulnerable, overwhelmed, and unsure if I was ready to make a decision. But Thomas was everything a car salesperson should be. He listened more than he talked, he wasn’t pushy, and he respected my situation. He showed me exactly what I wanted to see without pressure or sales tactics. I did shop around, even traveling an hour away to another dealership. But after that experience—and some of the stereotypical “sleazy salesman” behavior—I knew Leif Johnson was different. The next day, we learned my Expedition was beyond repair. That night, I drove home with plans to return to Austin Saturday morning. Before I left, Thomas asked me to text him when we made it home safely. That was the moment I knew—this wasn’t just a dealership, and Thomas wasn’t just a salesman. I told my husband, “When we get there, Thomas will call our daughter by name without us even saying it.” And he did. He remembered every detail I shared when I was a blubbering mess. That kind of attention and care can’t be faked. Thomas worked hard to get us the best trade value and made the buying process easy. Ryan in financing was wonderful—he got us great rates and helped us choose the right add-ons. As we wrapped up and loaded up on Bronco merch, Amanda, the GM, came over and introduced herself. I’ve bought several cars in my life and never once met a GM—let alone one who made me feel like family. From start to finish, Leif Johnson Ford treated us with compassion, respect, and care. They turned a stressful, unexpected situation into a moment of joy and connection I’ll never forget. As I drove away in my brand new Bronco, I looked over and saw Thomas taking a video of us leaving and I teared up. Thank you, Thomas, for being the calm in my storm, and thank you to everyone at Leif Johnson Ford for turning chaos into comfort. You’ve earned customers for life—and Thomas, you’ve earned a friendship that will last just as long. More

I had an exceptional end-to-end vehicle buying experience at Leif Johnson Ford Austin. From Christian’s insightful vehicle consultation, Amanda’s attentive leadership ensuring all my needs were met, to John’ at Leif Johnson Ford Austin. From Christian’s insightful vehicle consultation, Amanda’s attentive leadership ensuring all my needs were met, to John’s efficient handling of the closing documents, and Drew’s outstanding pre-delivery walkaround paired with a deep dive into the technology features I was most interested in—and more. I hadn’t owned a Ford vehicle since the late ’90s, and I was genuinely impressed to discover a Ford dealership today that operates on an entirely different level. In a time when it’s increasingly rare to find businesses where employees truly listen and work as a unified, passionate team to serve their customers, Leif Johnson Ford Austin stood out. The experience is a testament to the dealership’s values and culture. Thank you! More

Tom Bob was excellent. .He was the salesperson .But i can not say the same for Jerry.I have not seen a finance guy this incompetent.Maybe he was trying to cheat.He pressure .He was the salesperson .But i can not say the same for Jerry.I have not seen a finance guy this incompetent.Maybe he was trying to cheat.He pressure me to purchase warranty etc. for two hours.He took the enjoyment's out of buying a new car.After that he made a 3000 dollar mistake in the paperwork.I caught that mistake.Meanwile he put the car's price wrong on the paperwork.I saw that at home.So it took him more than 2 weeks to fix the paperwork.After bunch of phone calls..Thanks to Tom helping and solving the problem.I think i see dishonesty here.It was a very disappointing buying experience thanks to Jerry..Update I purchased the Suv April28,25.They paid off June6.I end up paying late fees.You can not talk to General manager, they won't let you.What happened the transparency,I think Jerry did this on purpose after i posted my comment.He is prejiduce.Again thanks to Tom Bobb helping me out on this situation..
