"Awesome staff with great core values"

- Trainman

Matt our salesman actually actually took ample time to sit down and listen to everything I had to say. I was only looking to trade my truck for a used truck and ended up buying a brand new F150.

"It has been a pleasure...."

- WayneS

We walked in cold to Parks in search of a truck and Matt Fortin greeted us and asked our needs. He was knowledgeable, frank and actually fun to work with and with his help we ordered a truck specific to our needs. Since taking delivery, every question we have asked has been answered quickly and completely. At this point we have confidence that our future with Matt and Parks is bright.

"Twice as Nice"

- goodguytoo

Highly recommend the internet sales staff, and specifically Matt Fortin, of Parks Ford. We had such a good experience with our first new Ford purchase at Parks 4 years ago, that we made the 250 mile round trip trek from Orlando to Gainesville yet again. For this most recent purchase, I inquired online about a specific vehicle in stock. Within a few hours of sending and receiving a few texts, I was able to negotiate the entire deal by cell phone. My sales contact, Matt Fortin was honest, responsive, good-natured, and professional at all times. The deal was all set after both parties agreed. Everything remained the same from start to finish -- no surprises. Matt met us at the door when we arrived and had everything ready to go. Our test drive included a trip to a Gainesville branch of our bank as (in the excitement of the trip) we *literally* left our check book at home. We, along with Matt, took it all in stride and made this deal happen. The best way to describe this experience is mean what you say and say what you mean. Now is a great time to buy Fords, in general, as the corporate rebates are quite generous. On the whole, the dealership was clean with fresh baked cookies and a Shelby Mustang 350 to enjoy while waiting. Overall, a fantastic experience. Get in touch with Matt Fortin at Parks Ford of Gainesville for a great internet-based buying experience.
