Phil worked with my wife and I over a period of Phil worked with my wife and I over a period of approximately 8-10 weeks and maintained his professionalism and courtesy despite our uncertainty over Phil worked with my wife and I over a period of approximately 8-10 weeks and maintained his professionalism and courtesy despite our uncertainty over which vehicle we wanted. The day of purchase was a Sunday and we arrived mid-afternoon in the midst of a raging thunderstorm. We explored numerous options with Phil, and by the time we made a decision, it was past closing time. Nevertheless, Phil and Tommy hung with us to the closure of the purchase. By this time it was well past closing time. Despite our repeated apologies for keeping them from their families, Phil and Tommy reassured us they were only doing their job. Their commitment to customer satisfaction was above the call of duty. We will definitely return to Kelly Ford for future automotive needs. Lew and Teri Jamieson Viera, Florida More

My used car purchase with Kelley Ford, and Phil Pettus went smooth and met or exceeded my expectations for an internet car purchase. Things went as follows: Found a car that met my search criteria on went smooth and met or exceeded my expectations for an internet car purchase. Things went as follows: Found a car that met my search criteria on AutoTrader at Kelly Ford, went to their dealership website, and the car had just been reduced $1000 below the price on autotrader. Emailed them at 12:30am on 07/04/2012 to verify if the car was available, and asking for the price, including all dealer/documentary fees, minus the tax&tag. Phil responded to my email at 7:30am, with the internet/website price, plus their dealer fee. I asked him to verify that the price he sent me plus tax&tag was going to be what I paid if I purchased the car today, and at 9:30am, 1/2 after the dealer opened for the day, Phil responded back that the deal was written up by his sales manager, and the price was what he sent at 7:30am. Made it to Kelley Ford at 2:00pm, test drove the car, had some food&soda (they were having a 4th of July cookout), signed the sales documents(pricing exactly as promised), and at 4:00pm, was driving my 2011 mustang home. Since I live 120 miles from Kelley, the time to drive there was more than the actual time spent at the dealer. If you want to purchase your car using the internet sales paradigm, then going with Phil and Kelly Ford is the way to go. I had contacted other dealership internet sales before finding a car at Kelley, and none of them seemed to get the idea of an online sale...with the other dealers, their online sales seemed geared toward getting you into the dealership to start the classic in store purchase, a long and frustrating process, for me the buyer. As the first line of this review says, my purchase with Kelley Ford met or exceeded all of my expectations for an internet purchase, and even the little things you expect from a classic in store purchase, like food, beverages, and a full tank of gas were provided. Thanks again for a great purchase, John More

This was the second car I purchased from Phil. I liked how he worked with me the first time so it was easy to ask for him again. He understood my position and why I was trading cars and with that, we were how he worked with me the first time so it was easy to ask for him again. He understood my position and why I was trading cars and with that, we were able to agree on a price. I am happy with my purchase and would ask for him a third time if it comes to that. I would also recommend him to my friends. More
