I have been a customer of this dealership for 20 years. There is a reason I keep returning. My latest transaction was a new Kia lease with Jay Roderick. He is an excellent salesperson! Very knowledgeable There is a reason I keep returning. My latest transaction was a new Kia lease with Jay Roderick. He is an excellent salesperson! Very knowledgeable but also didn’t go so deep into things making your eyes roll back in your head. Everyone here is pleasant and helpful. The level of customer service at Columbia Ford is a lost art and not seen much today. Thank you, Jay! More

I have been servicing my vehicle here for a few years and this was the first time buying from here. They were very easy to work with in getting what I wanted and quickly. What sold me even more is that bef this was the first time buying from here. They were very easy to work with in getting what I wanted and quickly. What sold me even more is that before I even saw the initial truck I was looking to purchase, they found an issue, rejected the truck and called me immediately to say it didn’t meet their standards. They were able to locate a replacement and deliver on time. I definitely plan to purchase from them in the future. More
