    5 out of 5 starsby JulieGa on 02/13/2025

    Bates Ford is a great place to buy a car. Wesley and Rich made the car buying experience pleasant and stress-free. Mike, Nathan and Jonathan were great, also. Highly recommend this dealership.

  • Buyer beware

    1 out of 5 starsby Mr. Hatchett on 11/23/2024

    Upper level management is untrustworthy, particularly Robert Shepard. Sent paperwork to complete purchase. Salesman and finance manager confirmed receipt of paperwork. Salesman sent me a video of vehicle. Shepard called to confirm deal then said he would call back. Never called back or return my calls or voice mails.

    My salesman ( RICH ) was very friendly, helpful, and easy to talk with. NO PREASURE. Just a real good guy. If you have not been there you need to go, just to see the 1964 FORD truck. Great olace to do business. Tell RICH, I said HELLO THANK YOU, JIM

  • Great Sales Experience

    5 out of 5 starsby aleonardi1 on 07/25/2024

    My wife and I were in search of a great value pre-owned vehicle and happened upon Bates Ford on the Internet. When we arrived we were greeted by Wesley Martinez. Wesley took the time to identify our needs, and my wife is very specific, and after showing us a few vehicles, he found her the perfect car, a 2020 Lincoln Continental that we now own and love. He was responsive throughout the whole process and is available for any questions after we made the purchase. Highly recommend!
  • Amazing experience!

    5 out of 5 starsby Butch Baker on 03/18/2024

    Matthew was a wonderful salesman! We would definitely ask for him again. Nathan in finance was awesome also. The entire experience was terrific
  • Worst Experience EVER

    1 out of 5 starsby Rick on 02/24/2024

    The worst dealership experience we have ever had, every aspect from the misinformation of what was included in vehicle, shaming us about not getting the extended warrantee, seller not making enough commission, vehicle itself needed mechanical work not completed by the dealership prior to the purchase. Sean Lehutsky (our salesman) rudely augured with us about All-weather floor mats that were not in the vehicle but clearly listed under the dealerships notes of included items, Luckly I had printed out the full description to prove the oversight. After we left the dealership, my recently purchased vehicle was immediately serviced at my local Dodge dealership which took a week to correct problems. NIGHTMARE from the moment we walked in the BATES FORD dealership until we left.
  • New car Owner

    5 out of 5 starsby Shepherd on 02/22/2024

    Great experience and great service. Bunky and Jay in sales were awesome. Nathan in finance was quick and thorough. Was finished with the sale in minimal time. Thanks again Bates Ford. I highly recommend making the drive to Lebanon.

    Use Bates Ford Service Department for my maintenance and repairs, my recent visit was for a Service Engine Wrench Light was coming on, called and they told me to bring it on in which I did. They diagnosed the problem very quickly and made necessary repairs and I was on my way, Service Manager Paul Tubbs and his staff are always very professional, friendly and make you feel at home each and every time I have visited their Service Department over the last two years.

  • F 150 scheduled repair appt.

    5 out of 5 starsby Hal Buchanan on 07/04/2018

    Initially O had concern that my service appt a scheduled previous week had taken a lower priority over some folks that had shown up with a service concern prior to my arrival even though I was there by the assigned appt time. It eventually worked out and I believe they did the best they could.
  • 2011 Armada from Bates Ford

    By far the best car buying experience I've had. The staff was very helpful and went above and beyond to eliminate the few concerns I had.
  • Oil change

    5 out of 5 starsby Mawmawtn on 04/02/2018

    Everyone was nice and friendly! Clean also! I did have a two hour wait for a simple oil change but the waiting room was crowded so that may have been what they were having done also!
  • wow

    5 out of 5 starsby bluescruizer on 02/22/2018

    My experience buying my car from Bates Ford was by far the most streamlined and easiest buying process I've ever had once the price was agreed upon. The day I bought it, they had it all prepped and ready for me so I was able to drive it home. A very good experience.
