I am a family man with 4 children and a grand-father of 3, which makes working at Gator Ford so great because they are very family oriented. I have about 15 years experience in the automotive industry; all but the first 9 months here at Gator Ford. I enjoy helping folks find the right vehicle. Aside from all of that I am currently in the Florida National Guard and expect to complete my 20 years and retire in the next several months.

Very unprofessional salesman. Gave me a buyers order with a discount on the car then he found out I had a trade and how much I wanted. So he took the discount off and added it as Gave me a buyers order with a discount on the car then he found out I had a trade and how much I wanted. So he took the discount off and added it as Gator services perks which added over $2000 to the price of the car. Of course because of his ignorance and him trying to pull over a scam I didn’t purchase the car from them. Watch there fees in the buyer order if not they will try to get you too. More

I also had an opportunity to watch Ola work and that was absolutely the highlight of my visit and purchase experience. I also greatly appreciated the candor of the senior sales associate (the former military Chaplin) His straight up, no nonsense approach saved us both a lot of time. I will definitely be back for a 2021 Bronco and also I want an Expedition Max for my wife in a few months. Thanks Gator Ford. You guys were awesome. More
