Very patience Phil was not pushy and understanding of what I was looking for and want to afford. He make sure I was happy no matter which car I pick. Very patience and professional.

Good times,great service and great car Buying a new car isn’t the most fun thing to do in life but working with Phil Pettus and the Kelly Ford team sure makes it seem like fun. My wife and Buying a new car isn’t the most fun thing to do in life but working with Phil Pettus and the Kelly Ford team sure makes it seem like fun. My wife and I are a difficult team to combat if you don’t have a sense of humor. I have to say that Phil measured up and even though we took him thru our paces so to speak, he smiled all the way. He even put up with a last minute change in direction by me and helped us through the decision making process between two excellent vehicles. My wife and I are very pleased with our new 2014 Edge and the attention we have received since buying it from Phil, Ron and Cheryl. Special kudos to Ron Odem for guiding us through the paperwork and mixing it up with us even when had problems with the system. A Five Star dealership! Kelly is definitely on the top of my short list for buying my next car. 5 Stars guys!! More

Bravo! My sincere thanks to Phil Pettus, Sandra Smith, Cheryl Shaton and all the team members at Kelly Ford for making my acquisition/lease of a 2015 Ford Ex My sincere thanks to Phil Pettus, Sandra Smith, Cheryl Shaton and all the team members at Kelly Ford for making my acquisition/lease of a 2015 Ford Expedition a truly pleasurable experience! Your dealership was recommended to me by a close personal friend, and having been a loyal Lexus/Toyota customer for many years I was initially apprehensive about changing brands. After my first visit to the dealership, where I first met Phil and several of the other team members, I was impressed with their professionalism, knowledge, and work attitude. Phil assisted me in every aspect of vehicle selection, and was diligent throughout the sale making sure my vehicle was appropriate for my needs. Through Phil, I had the pleasure of working with Sandra re: financing alternatives and post-sale with Cheryl re: my vehicle's systems/attributes. I not only look forward to referring business to Kelly Ford, I look forward to my next vehicle purchase later this year. More

We have follow We have now worked with kelly ford for our third vehicle purchase. They make it as smooth and hassle free as car buying can really be. We have follow up from our sales guy and he had even come in on his day off for us to finalize the deal. This deal was pretty much set in stone after we text a few times, making it easy for me to ride over and sign after work, a quick in and out. More

Dr. Phil is the BEST OF THE BEST, an OUTSTANDING SALESman1!! (Dr.)Phil Pettus greeted us as soon as we arrived. His greeting was warm and extremely friendly. Phil offered to show us around as we explained what (Dr.)Phil Pettus greeted us as soon as we arrived. His greeting was warm and extremely friendly. Phil offered to show us around as we explained what type of vehicle we wanted. He immediately showed us several models that were in line with our objective. We did a test drive with two different vehicles and spotted one in particular that met our needs. Phil was very supportive throughout our decision-making process. His experience and guidance was phenominal. We truly felt that we hit the jackpot with Phil because we visited eight other dealerships in the area and we were disgusted with the sales personnel in each of eight dealerships. Phil made us feel like a long lost friend. His sense of humor, his professionalism, his knowledge, his guidance, his kindness and his support were phonemenal. In my 49 years of buying or leasing cars I never met a salesperson as SPECTACULAR as Phil and my wife fully concurs as well. (Dr.) Phil Pettus's SALESMANSHIP was REMARKABLE. We felt extremely positive with his PROFESSIONALISM. His assistance was AMAZING Phil is SINGULARLY OUTSTANDING! He is a diamond in the rough and ONE IN A TRILLION!!!! We must also say that Charlie Algieri-McCarthy is also a FABULOUS PROFESSIONAL WE WILL DEFINITELY COME BACK TO KELLY FORD AND RECOMMEND KELLY FORD TO OUR FRIENDS, NEIGHBORS AND RELATIVES. WE ARE TOTALLY IMPRESSED. More

Great Car, Great Price, Great People After an agonizing couple weeks of deciding whether or not it was time to buy a new car, while searching the internet I stumbled upon a car that peak After an agonizing couple weeks of deciding whether or not it was time to buy a new car, while searching the internet I stumbled upon a car that peaked my interest at Kelly Ford. I reached out and spoke with Phil Pettus. Phil was incredibly attentive and worked with me the entire way. I told them where I needed to be and worked with me to get me where I need to be. I am extremely pleased with my new car and love driving me first new used car (just slightly used). John was incredibly helpful with putting the deal together and was right there with Phil to help make it all an easy process. All in all a great car at a great price and served by great people. More

We love our 2015 Mustang We had been shopping for a 2013 to 2015 Mustang on the internet through various dealers. Kelly Ford was the last Dealer we had stopped in because we We had been shopping for a 2013 to 2015 Mustang on the internet through various dealers. Kelly Ford was the last Dealer we had stopped in because we had seen on their internet site that they had a 2014 Mustang GT. Once we arrived we were immediately greeted by Phil Pettus whom I must say was an absolute pleasure to deal with. From start to finish Phil was knowledgeable, he was able to guide us in the right direction as to whether we should go with the 2014 or the 2015 that we had also seen on the internet. Phil was extremely helpful and courteous, he made our whole experience the best ever in purchasing a new vehicle. Phil introduced us to Charlie who helped us with our financing questions and after dealing with both gentlemen we decided to go with the 2015 Mustang and we are so pleased and excited. We will definitely recommend Kelly Ford and both Phil and Charlie to all our Friends and Family. Thank you Phil and Charlie for being so awesome! Customers for Life! More
