Highly recommend! Salesman Adam Capps was phenomenal.

I worked with Ross Schambon directly and Dan Franklin indirectly to buy a GT350R out of state. Ross was very responsive, likeable, timely and willing to communicate meaningfully via email and text. Unlike some dealerships I had to opt out of communications from, Ross was succinct and to the point. I did not get passed around to numerous sales people who never responded to direct questions and offers. I appreciated that. I also got what I think is a very good deal on the highly sought after GT350R. While some dealers act like these cars are worth a 10...

Found a specific trim used Ford Transit van that I had been searching for months. Found one at Don Franklin via AutoTrader and CarGuru. Was a bit hesitant to commit, because the vehicle just arrived and there weren’t any pictures posted yet. Sales consultant Tommy Stearns immediately texted me photos that he personally took and a precise vehicle history. That’s all I needed to make the long trip from PA! Tommy arranged for a colleague Bobby to pick me up at Louisville Airport and drive me the remaining two hours to the shop. Paperwork was fast and easy. ...

Was told I needed a coupon for lower price . I was not happy.I have always Been pleased with the service but this price change was very disappointing.Also I was to have 2 warranty issues taken care of and they only did one.
