Kelvin who assisted me with my purchase was very informative about certain things I inquired about before, during, and after my purchase. Mike Kalinowski was great when it came to the financing portion. Neither guys had a problem with breaking things down for me, since it was my first time buying a vehicle!! I would definitely deal with these men and refer everyone looking for a vehicle there!! Thank you guys for making my 1st car purchase (and on my own) an exciting ordeal!! More

A bright helpful face at Palmetto Ford! Recently I purchased a new I-phone and the change resulted in all my favorite pre set contacts being deleted from my Blue Tooth system. At age 68 I am Recently I purchased a new I-phone and the change resulted in all my favorite pre set contacts being deleted from my Blue Tooth system. At age 68 I am somewhat challenged by some of these easily accomplished tasks a 12 year old can do instantly so I brought my Lincoln MKX to your dealership for help. Your showroom directed me to Kelvin Ruffin. He was not only very helpful and instructed me how to reclaim my numbers but his interaction with me changed what had previously been a very negative experience for my family with Palmetto Ford. We are winter residents in Charleston and about six years ago my previous MKX was severely damaged in the middle of the night by a drunk driver while parked outside my son's home. The vehicle was towed to your dealership for a claims adjuster to evaluate and for repair. The insurance company promptly signed off on all work and my husband had to rent al all wheel drive vehicle to return to our other home in Blowing Rock, NC as we were preparing to leave on a cruise. Three weeks later Palmetto had made no effort to begin repairs on our vehicle. We contacted the owner of Boone Food, Alfred Glover, where we had purchased several Lincolns and asked if he knew anything about Palmetto. He did not but promised to look into it and see if he could help us. His research suggested that Palmetto had one of the worst service reputations for the Ford brand on the East Coast. We asked him if he would do the work and we had our car towed the 300 miles back to his dealership where we had always enjoyed excellent service. FYI- we have shared this story with dozens of friends over the years .. not good for Palmetto. Since then we have purchased three more Lincolns from Boone Ford. One ( a 2016 MKX was for our son, Morgan Herterich, who lives here full time in Charleston and I believe has had some experience with Palmetto.) Kelvin was the first person I have interacted with since our very negative experience with your service department six years ago and based upon the excellent one we shared I would be amenable to possibly purchasing a future Lincoln from him in the future. Perhaps, he should have been overseeing your Service Department. My companies are service oriented and I understand the value to the public of positive experiences. Selling vehicles is one thing, servicing them and enjoying a positive income stream is quite another! Bravo to Kelvin for being such a valuable representative of your company. Suggest you take good care of him - or one of your competitors will... PS: I was not permitted to submit this review without completing the first two questions on this survey. The first was number of stars for service and the second was whether I would recommend your service department to a friend. Honestly, If given the option I would have been unable to complete this section as Mr. Ruffin is in your sales you department not your service one. Karyn Kennedy Herterich More

Just a another sale Was sold a Ford Cetified used vehicle that didn't meet Ford Motors 172 point inspection. Numerous paint and body deficiencies, missing options noted Was sold a Ford Cetified used vehicle that didn't meet Ford Motors 172 point inspection. Numerous paint and body deficiencies, missing options noted on contract, list goes on. A used car salesman's dream is sell this vehicle to a person with great credit on a cloudy, rainy day. I made numerous calls to Palmetto Ford looking for the salesman or anyone who would return my call. I eventually got so frustrated and washed my hands of the lack of service that I received after I signed the sales contract. More
