Gary French was our sales representative and he did an excellent job for us. He was very knowledgeable of the Lincoln and its many features. Gary did not rush us through the process and allowed time for excellent job for us. He was very knowledgeable of the Lincoln and its many features. Gary did not rush us through the process and allowed time for our questions. He did not put a lot of pressure on us after the test drive, and we appreciated that very much. Gary made sure we had the training we needed on the navigation system and radio. He also said he could answer questions if we found that later on we needed some additional assistance. Gary told us he would handle all of the scheduling for our car maintenance and all we needed to do was call him. It was reassuring to know that Gary is only a telephone call away. We did find that he did an excelltn job of scheduling everything that needed to be done before driving off the lot with our new vehicle. Thanks to Gary and Palmetto Ford/Lincoln, we look forward to our continued relationship with them. More

On Thursday, December 12, 2012, I bought a 2012 Ford Explorer from Gary French. I had one of the most pleasant car buying experiences that I can remember. Gary was a courteous, patient and accommodating Explorer from Gary French. I had one of the most pleasant car buying experiences that I can remember. Gary was a courteous, patient and accommodating salesperson and I felt no pressure with him what so ever. I explained that I needed a vehicle with head and leg room without having to drive a big gas guzzler. After explaining my needs, Gary was quick to understand what I was looking for and showed me a 2012 Ford Explorer with 4WD, a towing package and an added bonus to me was the ECO-Drive. I was immediately fascinated with the state of the art dashboard, and the spacious interior I love the heated seats and the My Touch system is Excellent. From the outside the body resembles the sleekness of a BMW, my friends thought it was a BMW when I drove up. I can’t say enough about the roomy interior, but when you open the doors you can see for yourself that the interior room is outstanding, I sat comfortably in every seat! When I drove it, I was even more impressed with the Ford Explorer’s power, smooth ride and the ability to save gas. Gary was friendly, most respectful, professional and very accommodating. Palmetto Ford had the right vehicle for me and Gary was exceptionally helpful. Thank-you Gary, for listening to my needs, remaining flexible and ensuring I received a great vehicle at a reasonable price. Even the finance staff specifically, Mike Kalinowski helped me understand all of the documentation and was exceptionally helpful. I appreciate all of the staff at Palmetto Ford and everything y’all did for me! I recommend that if anyone is looking for a pleasant car buying experience from someone who is knowledgeable, courteous and flexible then you owe it to yourself to visit Mr. Gary French at Palmetto Ford! Thank-You!!! More

When negotiating the deal I was asked what would would it take to close the deal at the time. I had two things 1: A spray on bed liner and a cover for the truck bed. Gary saild he would check with the sales take to close the deal at the time. I had two things 1: A spray on bed liner and a cover for the truck bed. Gary saild he would check with the sales manager and came back and said done. Several hours later I got a call saying it couldn't be done and that I could get a rubber mat. Also the cover for the truck bed had to be ordered from Ford and would take a couple of weeks. When I checked on it two weeks later I went to a camper/truck accessory place to have it installed. When I was told I could pick up my truck it was supposed to be full of gas. As I drove off the lot I found that not to be the case. All these little issues add up to me feeling like I I did not get what I expected as minor as it seems and attention to the details of what makes a customer want to have a good experience did not quite meet my expectations. Finally I was really pushed to do this evaluation prior to getting my bed cover which I would have not been able to comment on if I had filled the survey out sooner. I will need four additional trucks next year for my company and hope that these comments are usefull. More
