Gus Johnson Ford

-5 stars, parents went in for routine maintenance (oil change) on 6.0l diesel you'd think a dealership can handle it. Don't waste your time or money, truck wouldn't start upon trying to leave, tech tried multiple times, started blowing black smoke. Parents will be taking the rig back to the real oil change and maintenance experts jiffy lube!

Gus Johnson Ford is not a dealership from which you want to be purchasing your vehicle – the owner and employees of this dealership are dishonest and do not care in the least about their customers. My daughter is asthmatic and cannot tolerate cigarette smoke, so when looking for a vehicle I make sure that it is non – smoking. After test driving a 2013 Ford Edge I noticed that it had a strong odor in the vehicle, but the salesman assured me that this was just the scent of cleaning solution (that would air out) and that the vehicle had never been smoked in. Since my current car keeps breaking down I decided to purchase this vehicle, against by better judgment. After a couple days, the car sure did air out, leaving only the smell of tobacco behind. Furthermore, my daughter had an asthma attack after spending about 20 minutes in the car, making this vehicle useless to me.

After contacting Gus Johnson Ford about this issue they offered me to detail and clean the car interior, which did absolutely nothing about the smell. Then they offered to exchange the Edge for a similar “non-smoking” vehicle, however all except one that they showed me also stank of tobacco. Finally they showed me one Edge (a former Enterprise rental) that was odor free, but then demanded that I pay an additional $6000 since this Edge had 4000 less miles on it, which is laughable since you could drive a rental car that many miles in only a few days (for the cost of $500 or less). Furthermore, I noticed that another Edge that was parked next to one that they showed me had a damaged exterior and when I asked the why Gus Johnson Ford had damaged cars on their lot, the salesman replied that this car was from an insurance auto auction and that they still needed to fix it. So chances are that you will receive a formerly wrecked vehicle if you purchase a used car from Gus Johnson Ford.

To add insult to injury, when following the sales manager down the corridor towards Gus Johnson’s office, the sales manager quickly turned with his arm extended around struck my hand in such a manner that the keys of the Edge that I was holding bounced towards him. After the sales manager struck me, the big oaf then proceeded to accuse me, a petite woman, of assaulting him and dialed the police. Instead of acting shocked at this situation the sales team were snickering, and I even overheard one of them make the remark that the sales manager “had mastered that trick”, so it is quite obvious that this is a stunt that Gus Johnson Ford pulls quite often in order to discourage customers from returning damaged vehicles. Given the blatant dishonesty and the utterly reprehensible behavior of the sales staff, it would not be surprising at all if Gus Johnson Ford would sell you a vehicle with other defects that will end up costing you thousands of dollars extra to fix in the long run or could even endanger the life of you family.

One final thing that I would like to add is that when I told one of the salesmen that I would post a negative review online about my experience at Gus Johnson Ford, he just laughed and replied that for every bad review that they receive, Gus Johnson Ford will have ten friends or family post fake five star reviews. In hindsight, it is quite obvious that the positive reviews of Gus Johnson Ford have been written by paid shills since most of them are very brief and lack detail or mention specific employees by name, who were probably the ones that actually wrote those reviews. As another reviewer stated, there should be negative five star rating option available specifically for Gus Johnson Ford.

Kolby was the salesman very nice guy! Everyone elevate treated me poorly as if I couldn't be trusted. This was how it was after I purchased the vehicle.
