Stay away from they are to be avoided worse than the plague. They will do everything to force you into dealing with flunkies that know nothing and that includes keep you lied to in order to keep you from speaking to the owners. They will force you to settle for trash instead of what you are after and make you deal with sales supervisors that decide to take it on their selves to make decisions that you the owner of a new truck that you own should be the one making which you are not and you are not even notified of taking a week or longer for you to find out after it is too late to stop from happening and then try to make it out that you are the lying one.Tamiami Ford, Inc.

I can not accept their comments as I called them on the 8th of April 2024 after being notified by the BBB and was told by the secretary that Mr. ******* was out all day and that he had left word with her that he had no time to deal with me as I was full of it and he had told his people that they were to deal with it as he had other things to do like deal with his 189 employees.Review from Riley R

Ford as a whole has given up on integrity but this dealership in particular was an absolute horrible experience. The service member Mike, said he'd get my pickup in in 3 days and they didn't even look at it so after 12 days of my pickup sitting there costing me $1,000 on rental cost I took it to Sarasota Ford, they already had it diagnosed within a day. When I asked why it didn't atleast get looked at or i wasnt told it was taking longer than the 3 days, Mike got confrontational. The manager told me to call him to see about resolving the issue, he never reached back. Now i have another rental that will cost me another grand plus 5k in repairs that should've been repaired by a recall. I would advise anyone capable if able, use another dealership or product in general.Review from Joanne R

Terrible service ***** Had an appt to drop off vehicle on Friday early a.m. called by noon no feedback promised call backs by **** in service NONE. Left me without a vehicle all weekend after expressing this concern. Same story for Monday and Tues. Finally after calling higher *** I get a phone call back at 5 pm stating nothing is covered by warranty. They are a SCAM. Left messages for ****manager have yet to hear back. If your service representative is **** stay away unless you are ok with dropping your car off for days and getting no feedback.Review from Albert A

STEAR CLEAR FROM PRICE GOUGING DEALER. LURED ME IN WITH A MSRP ON A NEW MAVERICK TRUCK THEN TOLD ME I WOULD NEED TO PAY 5K OVER . I OFFERED 2K OVER MSRP AND THEY COUNTERED AT 4K PLUS FEES. I DECLINED. TOTALLY GREEDY DISHONESTY. I WAS GIVEN THE MSRP BY KEN C. AND TOLD IT COULD BE BOUGHT FOR THAT PLUS DEALER FEES. UPON ARRIVAL AT THE DEALERSHIP I WAS HANDED OFF TO SALESMAN DEAN A. WHO INFORMED ME OF THE UPCHARGE. GO ELSEWHERE!Tamiami Ford, Inc. Response

We do not charge "over MSRP", however, we do often have dealer-installed accessories on many of our vehicles that make the final purchase price higher than the original MSRP. Dealer installed options add value to the vehicle they are installed on. We regret that Mr. ********* did not receive an experience he felt good about. All dealer installed options are clearly displayed on every vehicle. Our GM would be glad to speak with Mr. ********* personally about his experience. Again, it is our clear goal to make every customer completely satisfied with every experience at our dealership, whether the consumer purchases a vehicle or not.Review from Karen M

Stay away from this dealership. Go to Coconut Point Ford! Again, stay way from Tamiami Ford! Ordered a truck with a Z plan. With a Z plan a dealer cannot add or deduct any item on the vehicle ordered. When reviewing the documents (as a woman and a young man signing the documents), $1250 was added to the truck as dealers add ons. When I stated they could not do this with a z plan, he started over talking me and told us they could do this and if we didn't like it "don't take the truck"! Once my husband came and discussed the issue, they lowered the add ons to $500. Add ons that my son does not want. We have contacted Ford Corporate and have a claim. I will not dropped this. Ford is on our side thank goodness. My 81 year old father worked for Ford and this is how this dealership treats him! Also, on my son's mustang, Tamiami Ford put on a Roush suspension. We took it back to Tamiami Ford several times complaining of a sound. But every time, they said it was normal. Then one day when I was driving it on the highway, the suspension disconnected and I lost control of the car!! Turns out they didn't "locktite" the pieces. Not once did we get a sorry or any acknowledgment that they messed up. Save yourself a headache...go to Coconut Ford!Review from Joseph P

Purchased a new Ford Edge from Tamiami Ford with no intent of trading my old car in. They quoted me in an E mail that it was worth $2500 to $4000 depending on the condition. Since the vehicle was in pristine condition I thought a fair offer would be closer to $4000. Reluctantly i decided to trade it in and drove it over 2 hours to get there. When i arrived i was waiting for someone to evaluate the vehicle so then I could get my new vehicle and drive away. Someone came out and looked at it from a distance without looking inside and left. Before he left the sales associate Jose gave me the final bill with the trade in value already typed in at $2500. I told Jose this was pre planned and unfair. The vehicle was not evaluated and the trade offer pre typed in. He shrugged his shoulders. I needed the new vehicle and what was I to do decline the offer but how was i to get it home. Reluctantly I agreed. I reached out to the original sales associate and management with no reply. It has been 2 months now. I have all supporting documentation. ***
