I have to tell you that Mark Hudson was awsome, he This is my 4th experience with Flammer Ford. My wife and I have leased 4 SUV's from Flammer Ford. I have to tell you that Mark Hudson was awsome, he helped with all questions and paved the way thru the process in a professional and friendly manner. Everyone that you come in contact there was a pleasure to deal with. Mr. Jeff was awsome as usual as well as Mr Dave in finance. I hope that Mr. Flammer knows what a great team he has. This dealership is stuck with my wife and I as long as we can drive. AWSOME sales consultants and a Clean ....FRIENDLY dealership. Thanx for all your help Mark Hudson. I would be remiss if I didn't mention Russ he is a true professional. More

Made us a fair deal with no gam Special thanks to Ron Tesar for finding us the perfect used car. Ron is very knowledgeable, caring and professional. Made us a fair deal with no game playing or pressure. How refreshing! All of the folks we dealt with deserve a nod for their friendliness and professional attitudes. They are genuinely interested in helping you through the process. This was our first buying experience with Flammer Ford, however, we've serviced our Lincoln LS for the past 10 years at this dealership and have received excellent service. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Flammer Ford. More

A Lot of Time and Effort = The Perfect Car We began looking for a replacement for our SUV and we were lucky enough to have Ron Tesar as our sales representative. Ron spent a great deal of time We began looking for a replacement for our SUV and we were lucky enough to have Ron Tesar as our sales representative. Ron spent a great deal of time explaining differences between vehicle types, and ultimately obtained a Focus Hatchback with every option that we wanted. The transaction was smooth, expedient and very professional. We indicated we real wanted to do business locally with Flammer, and Russ Silverstone worked with us on the trade-in and pricing of the new vehicle, Dave Donovan wrapped up the paperwork complete with new insurance cards, and Jeff Miner reviewed all the electronics operations. All we had to do was enjoy driving our new vehicle home. Excellent experience! More

Sales Consultant Ron Tesar listened patiently to our requirements and as p We visited the Dealership to enquire about the purchase of a used vehicle. Sales Consultant Ron Tesar listened patiently to our requirements and as promised, contacted us regarding suitable vehicles. Both he and his colleagues were exemplary in guiding us through the purchase and registration process of the vehicle we chose, from start to finish. We were able to drive in with our old vehicle and leave in our lovely previously owned one. We will not hesitate to recommend this Dealership and would certainly return if and when the need arises to purchase another vehicle. All the Staff we encountered were extremely professional, courteous and accommodating. A very pleasant overall experience with no pressure. Thank you. More

The Best of the Best (No Exaggeration!) On December 23, 2015, we purchased a 2016 Ford Explorer Sport from Flammer Ford of Spring Hill after spending nearly a year researching the vehicle an On December 23, 2015, we purchased a 2016 Ford Explorer Sport from Flammer Ford of Spring Hill after spending nearly a year researching the vehicle and the Ford Dealers in the Tampa Bay area. After visiting six different Ford Dealers, we decided to purchase the vehicle from Flammer Ford of Spring Hill for several reasons. First, Art "Gunny" Goldman was the consummate professional who patiently answered all our questions and never once tried to pressure us into the sale. Second, when we walked into the dealership, it had a very professional, yet personal feel that my wife and I both felt. It truly feels like a high quality hometown dealership, rather than a high volume sales factory where you feel like a number. Third, they provided a fair price on the trade-in of our 2010 Chevy Camaro and showed respect for all the research that we had conducted on the vehicle and other Ford dealerships. Once we made the decision to purchase, our feelings were further confirmed when Jeff Miner provided a wonderful hands-on training session for all of the new technology on the vehicle. I've bought lots of vehicles over the years, but this was the first time since purchasing a BMW from the factory in Munich, Germany in 1990 that anyone had conducted such an extensive training on a new vehicle. Jeff's training was simply outstanding! Our many thanks to Mark Flammer for committing his resources to providing such an outstanding service! Our interaction with Dave Donovan during the financial processing further reaffirmed our positive experience, as he never pressured us to purchase any options, but simply explained what was available and left the decision to us. Overall, this was THE most positive vehicle buying experience that I've had since purchasing my first new car 36 years ago. More

fantastic, low stress new car purchase after purchasing many cars over the past few decades, this dealership is, by far, the easiest to deal with when it comes to purchasing cars. though I after purchasing many cars over the past few decades, this dealership is, by far, the easiest to deal with when it comes to purchasing cars. though I specifically waited until the end of the month (remember the end of month quotas), I doubt that it would have made a difference should I have purchased any other time. They offered me the price that I would have had to fight for with other dealerships. There was no pressure. Every person that we were in contact with at this dealership is friendly and helpful. They take the time to ensure that you are getting the vehicle of your dreams. they make sure that you understand every feature of the vehicle before you drive away. Everything is taken care of - the only thing that we had to do was sign and drive. This was the most pleasurable car purchasing experience that I have ever had. Steve Duffy was our salesperson and we interacted with several of the Flammer team. they are great. More
