Purchased 2025 F450

5 out of 5 starsby RubyRed on 03/14/2025

The purchasing process went smoothly and was very simple. We were an out-of-state purchaser and everything that was mentioned to be done was done so effortlessly. We cannot thank enough, the Atkins Ford dealership and their salesman AJ Jackson! He helped us through the entire process, and as I said it was an extremely easy purchase from start to finish. We are extremely pleased with the truck and the follow up from Atkins.

  • Good pricing/bad service

    2 out of 5 starsby Pembroke2 on 07/07/2025

    Good pricing, however don’t expect the sales person to care about you the second you make a deal. After financing got completed had to wait around for 30+ minutes cause our sales guy was talking to another person. Had to go to the front desk and ask for bags to clear out our old truck then sit around waiting for the 2 keys to the truck to leave, already been at the dealer for to 4 hours. Then added leather to my truck, dropped off my truck gave them a week to do it. Showed up the sales guy had no clue where my keys were and he blamed it on someone at Willie’s however the keys were on his desk, he made sure to hassle me twice for my spare for my trade in but couldn’t care about me asking for someone from Willie’s to call me to add a lift to my truck, nobody ever called me. Needless to say not spending another dime with akins/willies

    Wasn’t willing to pay me what my vehicle was worth according to other appraisals, but I bit the bullet because I was having trouble finding the vehicle I want.

  • AKINS and Jake were amazing!

    5 out of 5 starsby LACKEY3 on 06/16/2024

    We were in a bit of a time crunch but also looking for the "perfect" vehicle. Jake R. was incredible! From having the cars we were interested in ready to go with all the information we needed to make an informed decision, to being completely transparent and honest throughout the whole process, making sure we got the vehicle we wanted at a cost that worked for us. We go back time and time again to Akins, and will continue to do so!

    Great dealership. The salesman was honest and genuinely had our best interest at heart. It is easy to buy from a dealership when they actually care about you and help you reach your goals for a vehicle.

  • Great Experience Purchasing a 2023 Ford F-150

    5 out of 5 starsby Jesse S on 04/15/2024

    I had an overall great experience purchasing my 2023 F-150 from Akins. The sales person, Kenny Fletcher, was very knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with throughout the entire purchase. He also communicated very well answering every question I had, even after the purchase. I would recommend this place to others, and would purchase from here again.

  • 2024 Ford 350 Limited

    5 out of 5 starsby 51 Grunge on 02/20/2024

    Well the experience started with a salesman that did what he was asked of to do. I was given the contact name of Jesse Cash from a good friend Terry Humphries that had purchased several trucks from Akins Ford and he advised that Jesse was the one i needed to deal with if i wanted somebody that will take care of me in the purchase of a Super Duty.Terry also advised me know that Akins was the dealership to deal with because of the amount of truck allocations they received every year. i reached out to Jesse in early August 2022 inquiring about the allocation for a new 2023 350 Limited SRW, he let me know that he would put me on the list and once Ford opened the allocations he would reach out to me and get it set up. i know i shouldn't but i have doubt in everyone till they prove me wrong so i also called another Ford dealership in my hometown Gainesville, GA and asked them to also let me know when i can get an allocation for a truck, i am actually still waiting on there call back still today. Well time rocked on and on November 1st around and at 10am i received a call from Jesse that the allocations were officially open to order for Super Duty's for 2023. We went down to the dealership that afternoon and meet with Jesse and the process was super smooth. Jesse was very knowledgeable of the ordering process and all the options for the truck and we only disagreed on one thing and that was the color, obviously Jesse had no control of that Ford decided to only have one white. i wanted plain white and the only white color available in the Limited trucks was the bass boat color Star White, the aggravation part of the only white color option i was forced to go with, i gave Jesse got his nickname "Sparkly" based off the white color available. After getting the truck ordered in Nov 2022 i was highly disappointed that Ford never filled/produced this order in 2023. When the 2024 allocations opened up Jesse was back on my phone setting it up for a 2024 truck order. Jesse keep me in the loop throughout the over year and a half it took to get this truck in and once it arrived he was sending me pics of the truck at the dealership. Went down the next day and done the deal and then went conveniently next door to Wild Willie's and done the deal with them. Truck is still in the shop getting the suspension upgraded and looking forward to getting it soon. Shout out to Walt at Wild Willie's for helping me get all that set up. Overall a great sales experience. Hopefully Ford built a truck that will hold up to there self proclaimed logo of "Ford Tough". Looking at reviews on the net on these trucks, it seems there are tons of manufacture issues and owners barking all over the country over their issues with Super Duty's. i have faith that this purchase will not be that way. This is my first purchase of a new Ford truck and hopefully it won be my last. Appreciate the Akins and Wild Willie's team in making this happen.
  • 2024 F-350 Limited

    They were the only dealership to order my truck with a faster priority code. Had the truck on the lot in 4 months. Highly recommend Akins Ford.
  • Great Experience!

    5 out of 5 starsby NoNames on 02/15/2024

    I saw a car online that I had been searching for but I live in Texas. I reached out to Akins and received a call back from Homero and he was able to answer my questions that day. The next day I spoke with Jeff Little some more and had a few more questions on the condition. Jeff went out right away and took more pictures to ease my mind. I put the deposit down to hold it until I could get out there. Hired an inspector to come out Friday morning and I decided last minute to go ahead and fly out as well. Jeff stayed with me most of the day to ensure everything was going smoothly and moving along...... No pressure or hidden add ons at all though (the best kind of salesman!). Long story short, car checked out and I drove it home, over 800 miles. I had spoken to several out of town dealerships since the car I wanted wasn't anywhere near me and they all blew me off (one even selling the car from me despite we were well into the deal and into financing). Jeff, Homero, and the finance manager (sorry I can't remember his name) all treated me no different just because I was out of town. If you happen to see a car you like online, whether you're in the area or not, call Jeff. He'll make it happen and you'll be happy you did.
