Matthew Smith at Sarasota Ford is your guy!

5 out of 5 starsby Tiff Hamilton on 08/01/2025

Matthew Smith at Sarasota Ford was amazing to work with. He was patient and attentive to our needs. We were all over the place at first with the direction we wanted to go in regard to purchasing an additional car for our family as we added a new driver to our household. Matthew provided perfect guidance as we worked towards determining the best investment. There is no one else we would trust with our car purchases than Matthew!

  • Awesome

    5 out of 5 starsby FordGuy2013 on 08/24/2017

    Steve Oliveir did the best in getting me into my used 2013 Ford F-150! He was very knowledgeable of the truck and even took time to connect my Bluetooth before I left! He is a great salesman, very professional and honest. Will only do business with him, his trainee Dave was very helpful also in assisting this car buying process. Two thumbs up for Steve!
  • Top-Notch Sales Rep and Dealership

    5 out of 5 starsby SammySRQ on 08/08/2017

    I have worked for Ford and driven Ford products for the past 25 years and I must say there is not a single dealership or sales rep that compares. It is astounding to me that every single aspect of your dealership is five star starting with your amazing sales representative, LEE NEWMAN. Not only is the dealership beautifully updated, offering awesome conveniences while you wait, but again the Sales Person, LEE NEWMAN, was absolutely top-notch ! My husband and I will be sure to spread the word about how Sarasota Ford goes above and beyond and never at any time makes you feel pressured to buy a car. Lee is thoughtful, thorough, knows his product through and through, and is incredibly professional yet super easy to talk with. Sarasota Ford and their sales rep LEE NEWMAN is our life time "go to" person for our vehicles! Sarasota Ford also has an incredibly efficient Oil Change and repair shop. Nothing but kudos to you SRQ Ford!
  • Best Dealership in town!

    5 out of 5 starsby fordgirl1204 on 07/26/2017

    Sarasota Ford is my choice when it comes to buying a vehicle or getting service work done. if I need anything, I can reach out to James Seper and he'll either put me in contact with a salesperson, service advisor or, at the very least, point me in the right direction. I can always count on Sarasota Ford for the most professional and kind service!!
  • New Truck Purhase

    5 out of 5 starsby srabins on 07/18/2017

    Ford F150 Lariat. Carlos was my salesperson and despite numerous potholes he was able to smooth out the road perfectly. I will highly recommend your dealership and specifically Carlos. You will definitely have a returning customer. And one that will tell others of how well you did.

    Excellent staff. Cannot say enough about Carlos my salesperson. He maneuvered through a very complicated sales with ease. This dealership and Carlos are amongst the best I have dealt with in all my car purchases' and in my 66 years that has been a lot. Thank you again for an outstanding experience.

  • Great dealership - Outstanding Salesman!!

    5 out of 5 starsby William_A on 07/02/2017

    Such a straightforward, no-hassle car-buying experience. Everyone was courteous and professional, very welcoming, and the facility itself was one of the most modern I've ever seen. The product specialist who sold me my vehicle, Steve Oliver, was fantastic...knowledgeable, helpful, straight-shooter, and most of all - genuine. He listened to what I wanted and never pushed me or "oversold" me on anything. He even stayed almost two hours past his time to make sure I was taken care of till I drove off the lot. An enjoyable experience all-around!!
  • New car purchase

    Thank you Steve Oliver for your patience and understanding. Buying a new car is stressful especially after having bad experiences in the past. You simplified it and I appreciate that.
  • Our new 2017 King Ranch Expedition EL

    5 out of 5 starsby newcar2017 on 06/16/2017

    Steve Oliver made our buying experience very pleasurable, making us feel welcome at the dealership. He was very knowledgeable about his product, and answered all questions about the car and the necessary paperwork. He was available on short notice to meet with us, and kept us informed from the time we bought the car to delivery a few days later. Thank you again, Steve!
  • The only dealership I will ever use!

    5 out of 5 starsby JessicaCox on 06/15/2017

    Todd Cook and Ryan Barnhouse went above and beyond to help my husband and I. We went in looking for a used car, and they made dreams come true, and we drove off the lot in a brand new car!! We are beyond excited! I have now purchased 2 cars from Sarasota Ford and will continue to use this dealership in the future. Not only was the service phenomenal but the whole appearance and atmosphere of this dealership is impeccable!!! Thank u once again Todd and Ryan!!! Look forward to doing business with you in the future!

    5 out of 5 starsby JLap33919 on 06/13/2017

    I would like to thank Steve Oliver and everyone at Sarasota Ford for making my car buying experience an enjoyable one. They truly know how to treat their potential car buyer. From the time I indicated an interest in one of their vehicles to the moment I actually purchased my new vehicle they made me feel that they truly wanted my business. I would highly recommend them to anyone interested in purchasing their new vehicle.

    Worked with Parker Reed to get me in my F-150 and couldn't be more pleased with the entire process. Got a great truck at a great price. Parker was a cool, down-to-earth guy that you should ask for by name. The whole staff seemed to be friendly, professional and best of all - genuine.
