I purchased my car here almost three years ago. It was a mostly smooth process.
I worked with Peyton on my last service visit.
She did a great job helping me get my car fixed.
The only reason I took a star off is I bought a “bumper to bumper” warranty from this dealership when I bought the car.
They did not honor that warranty for this repair because there are exclusions in the fine print.
My exclusions included the suspension.
I want to give them 1 star for lying about the bumper-to-bumper warranty. However, that is my fault for not reading the fine print.
I have met and dealt with plenty of honest salespeople throughout the years.
I have yet to deal with an honest finance manager. So please read the fine print, assume they are adding points, assume what comes out of their mouth is not entirely true.

A good experience. Amy and Mike were the people that assisted. Amy was particularly great--she listened carefully to my concern & then read me back what she'd written in the dispatch so I could confirm. I liked that Mike checked me in calling out the VIN# with the military words for each letter of the alphabet. He was patient while I transferred some things out of my car to my friend's car--who was picking me up. The temporary Service drop-off was a little confusing. How about a sign? It could say: STOP HERE!

Awesome small town dealership! Great customer service with very polite employees. One of the cleanest dealerships I've been in. Service center is run very efficiently and staffed by very knowledgeable employees. Easy in easy out. Call and get your appointment today for service or see a sales representative for a new ride; either way you can't go wrong at this dealership. Met the owner today; very down to earth family man dedicated to taking the business to the next level and care of the customer is a priority! Great man!

Best car buying experience I’ve ever had. For the first time in my life I was able to walk off the lot comfortable and stress free! Steve Gonzales & Steve Laconne took great care of me! Go and check them out !!!

Best car dealership I’ve ever dealt with, no pressure, absolutely none. As a business owner I’ve made many truck & vehicle purchases , and this by far was the best. Mike Lundin was great!! We purchased a great used car for my 16yr old daughter. Total transaction less that 1.5 hrs. I’m literally looking forward to my next purchase with Karl Flammer Ford. I came here literally on a whim, because they support Door of Hope, which I saw at a banquet we attended. I can truly say it was worthwhile .

Bought a new 2023 Ranger from them. A truck made of unobtanium. They had one in transit. While price negotiation was not in play, I felt they gave me a very fair offer on my trade in F-150. They beat my credit union interest rate and even helped me title it in another state.

Brett Bryant
Brad was a phenomenal salesman! Took care of me and my family while we purchased the new Explorer ST. The Explorer ST has all the features I was looking for in a car!

Cristian Jacome
Christian was extremely helpful in the process. He took notes of all the comments I had on the car and reviewed them with technician. One suggestion I have is to possibly introduce text updates in the process. Once the car is received I received a text but it would be useful to know for instance when the technician started working on the car, or when the process is done and the paperwork is being completed etc. This allows the customer to know exactly what is happening in the process instead of calling the representative to know the status. Aside from that suggestion the service was amazing even with a shuttle to and from my house to the dealer.

Dan (Servicer Greeter) and Angelo my Service Advisor did an excellent job. Dan greets you with a smile and swiftly gets you to the service desk were Angelo took over. Angelo was very concise and helpful with the service needs and kept me up to date on the work in progress. I did have a question about the vehicle that I needed addressed. I purchased the vehicle at Karl Flammer and Neal, Sales Manager was very helpful and went the extra mile to answer my questions and concerns. Very good experience yet again at Karl Flammer Ford!

Ever since buying my Escape at Karl Flammer Ford I have been please with the service staff. They are fast, friendly and do a great job of explaining what was done to my vehicle.

Good experience, Steve was great! Very attentive to our needs. He made us feel at ease with negotiating our new truck purchase. I like the dealership, gives that small town feeling unlike some of the larger dealerships that make you feel like a number. We would recommend.

Darren Stotts
Great experience and reputable dealership! I had the pleasure of working with Mack Gange. He worked with me from the date I was able to order my Ford Lightning and kept me up-to-date on its progress from production through delivery.
I have only great things to say about my experience. My Lightning was prepped and detailed when I arrived. The purchase process was seamless. Unlike many dealerships that make you sit for hours while they pitch random warranties and services, I was in and out in probably less than an hour with all of the paperwork filled out in advance. I would absolutely buy another car from them.

I had a great experience purchasing my used car. First of all, the car is beautiful and in great shape. The salesman I dealt with, Floyd, was so helpful and answered all of my questions by demonstrating how to use the electronics on the car I bought. The finance lady, Suzanne, was kind and gracious and patient and answered all of my questions. The two year extended warranty that I purchased was a great deal for my situation. I definitely recommend this dealership and will use them again if I purchase another car.

Luke Korner
I had some warranty repair issues. The dealership where I bought the car has been very disappointing.
Karl Flammer and their techs were very helpful. The service was good, thoroughly explained and the work was done well.
Admittedly, as with any dealership, the prices were high and labor rates were even higher than I expected.
But we all know the price you pay to have the dealership do your work.
I like the service and the people at Karl Flammer. It is also very clear they hire veterans as I saw many veteran hats on some of the staff and I heard several discussing their service.
I will likely buy my next car from Karl Flammer.

I have been buying my fleet from Karl Flammer Ford. I was convinced to switch to Ford Fleet from Chevy, but the awesome experience is truly with Karl Flammer Ford dealership. Ford gave good incentives, but David Kaiser and the team have exceeded my expectations beyond belief. Thank you for your help in difficult times.

The Lovely Lyss
I live in St. Petersburg but was introduced to Karl Flammer Ford a few years ago when I was working with a local agency (Vers Creative). After interacting with their staff numerous times, I knew if I ever wanted to get a Ford I would come here.
I knew I wanted a Bronco, but with the supply issues I also knew it could take a while. So I put a deposit down in March 2022 before they stopped taking orders. I worked with Chris Haddad who is so kind and was great from beginning to end. He made the entire process easy with no pressure. He let me know at the very beginning based on demand I could be waiting over a year unless I’m “lucky”. Turns out I’m one of the few to get such a quick turnaround!
Since my time to save got cut quite a bit, I did have to finance. I met with Suzanne who helped crunch numbers and walked me through everything . She’s very kind. The only unfortunate thing is the interest rate is high.
I was in and out probably within an hour. Chris went and filled up the car for me and they detailed it before I got it. He also helped walk me through the app and setting up the car with my phone. He gave me a good detailed run down with my vehicle. As someone who has mostly used and older cars up to this point, I’m in LOVE!!! If we decide to get another Ford we will definitely come back!
p.s. If you decide to put a deposit down to build one, it is refundable (not all dealers do this).

I recently purchased a 2021 Escape from Karl Flammer Ford and I could not have been happier with the entire process. The Sales Consultant, Mack, was a pleasure to work with through the process and patiently explained all the steps for the purchase. I will definitely bring my new car to them for the regular maintenance. I have already recommended Karl Flammer Ford to two of my neighbors and would recommend them to all my family and friends.

I was in the market for a new truck and after visiting other Ford dealers whose salesmen were trying high pressure sales tactics and using cheesy closing techniques, I decided to visit Flammer Ford because they offer a Lifetime warranty on the power train. I am so glad I did. I'm also very fortunate that sales professional Mike Lundin introduced himself to us that day. I say this because he was not high pressure at all, he was very knowledgeable and extremely professional in every aspect of the sales process. He didn't try any of the sales tactics that are designed to keep you at the dealership. I highly recommend dealing with Mike Lundin if you need a new vehicle, you will not be disappointed. He has also followed up with me to make sure everything was to my satisfaction. Mike made it a very pleasant buying experience. The prices at Flammer Ford were also better than the other dealers we went to. I purchased a Ford F-150 Platinum edition and could not be happier with my decision and the price I paid for it.

I won’t take my vehicle anywhere else. Dale and Rob Romero are the best. They absolutely went out of their way on many occasions and accommodated me. They were very understanding and took on more than they had to, out of the kindness of their hearts. I will be a returning customer for life.
-
Michele Madden
In & out by times specified. Dale, who was my service advisor did not try to up sell me on things my car did not need & I appreciate that so much. Price was reasonable as well. So far, so good!!
-
Tina Harris
It was easy contacting the Service Department to get an appointment. When I arrived, Dale was friendly and helpful checking me in for the service.
The most important part is it was QUICK!
Nothing I hate more than sitting around waiting for anything, let alone service on my car. Karl Flammer Ford in Tarpon Springs was quick and efficient. The waiting room was air conditioned, had complimentary coffee available and vending machines. In and out in less than an hour.

Jason Karas
Karl Flammer Ford is the ONLY place I buy my vehicles from. Every vehicle I've owned since being able to drive at 16 has been purchased or leased from this dealership.
I needed a new truck for my upholstery business in Holiday, so I bought a 2021 Ranger from their new commercial side. This was in the first quarter of 2022 and everything has been top notch the entire time. From the quick and responsive service advisors to the polite and NON-PUSHY sales guys, I have been more than please throughout the years with many more to come...
And if you want a reference for who to speak for the BEST customer service, you need to either see Rob Bender in the commercial service side or David Kaiser from the commercial sales side.... OR se Christian or Art in service on the retail side... you will be ultimately pleased throughout the entire process of making your choice on your next vehicle.

Beth Britt
So grateful for kind and caring people working at this dealership. Specifically most helpful were Denise on the telephone and Rob in the commercial service center. I cannot express how thankful I am for their willingness to help us as we traveled through the area. Friendly, cooperative and got the job done and done perfectly. We are planning a return stay, and already planning to bring our RV vehicle in for service then. Thank you!!

This is a great place...I took my Black 2013 Mustang in and from the Greeters Dan and John to my service advisor Christian made my visit there a very pleasant experience..they let me know exactly what was wrong with my car and what it would take to remedy the problem..
I am very particular about who works on my car..but I have found a great place that will take care of my car like I want..
That's my dream car and they treat it just like I do..

This was a great experience as the employees at Flammer Ford were all very good to me! Amy helped me with the warranty. She was kind and considerate through this process. Mike, the shuttle driver, gave me a safe, comfortable ride so I could continue my work at home while repairs were made. Great staff at this dealership! Appreciate you all!

Took the Raptor in for an oil change. Peyton took her personal time & $ to buy dog treats for our Ridgeback, Indigo. Service level way above & beyond our expectation!
Mack in sales was also a great wealth of knowledge.
If you're looking for no pressure, knowledgeable sales assistance and great service on your vehicle, go see Mack & Peyton at Karl Flammer today!

Very impressed with "Jessie" who answered the phone and gave us our appointment. Brought our older Mercury Sable in for diagnosis (wound up needing a sensor) and they kept us informed each step of the way regarding the cost and other items that could be fixed (for a later date). Very happy with their service. I'm a veteran and they gave a discount off of my total bill, which I very much appreciated. Amy was my tech advisor. Thank you!! Kevin Mallett

Was having running boards installed on a brand new truck that didn't come with them. Purchased the boards and labor cost online the day before and the were able to get the boards in and installed the next morning. I was at the the dealership for less than 30 minutes for the install! Great! Kyle, the service advisor, was very helpful and informative as well!
