The Salesman, Gary Lowe was great! made an out of state purchase easy! Would definitely recommend.
Zhora Tupicins was friendly, helpful and prompt in assisting me, and ultimately closing the deal on my purchase. I live out of state, which presented several hurdles on both ends, but Zhora handled my plethora of questions and concerns like a champ! It's a daunting concept driving 3hrs one way from home to buy a car. The entire team made me feel welcome and were hospitable and professional.
Mark was friendly, knowledgeable and made the process easy. Stayed after hours to get everything completed and helped us make an informed decision between leasing and buying.
Purchased F-150 from Jerry.. Made my purchase very smooth and easy.. I was just looking but left with a brand new truck! Might have been the only new one on the lot left. I would recommend asking for Jerry!! Thanks
A year ago I had purchased a Honda Accord from Bob Rowe. He was super helpful and I have really enjoyed the car since. My 1 year “birthday” of getting this car and Bob personally text me and asked me how my car was doing. That’s 10/10 service from a 10/10 dealership who cares. Thank you Bob!!
Thank you Gary Lowe!!!! You and your team have made my son’s first car experience amazing. We will definitely be back in the future.
Our son purchased his first car- a used Chevy Silverado from Sam Leman. Thank you Gary Lowe for making the car buying experience so pleasant. We really appreciate your charisma and sense of humor. Thank you for all the great advise you gave our son on his first car purchase.
Jerry was very professional and took his time showing us all the features of the F-150. Especially helpful on the screens, and available settings. We appreciated that.
Jerry and Brandt in finance were great to work with. I was buying my Duramax out of state. They made the process very smooth and easy transaction.. Will look Jerry up on my next purchase!
We purchased a Ford Transit Passenger yesterday from Gary at Sam Leman. We were pleased with his service and attention to detail. He was transparent and honest, and communicated efficiently throughout the whole process. He even made a personalized video for us of the vehicle before we drove out from 2hr away so we would be sure of what we were getting! Gary got the financing handled for us before we arrived and helped expedite the detailing and inspection so we could get home quickly. The whole team was really a pleasure to work with. Everyone was just so nice and welcoming, and it felt like catching up with old friends. Amy in finance made signing paperwork fun and a breeze. The sales manager took time to come and greet us and make sure everything was going smoothly. And the guys in the shop did a great job cleaning it up and getting it ready to go for us. Before we got there, Gary was always just a phone call or quick text away, patiently answering all of our questions and getting the financing deal done the way we needed it. The one time he was with another customer and I needed a hand working on our financing app, his colleague, Jeremy, hopped on the phone and helped me... without an ounce of competition or attitude that he wasn’t our salesman. He even invited me to call back if I needed more help! This is a really great team to work with and made the dreaded trip to the car dealership such an enjoyable experience!

Gary and Tyler did everything they could to make my buying experience easy and amazing!!! They were very helpful and made me feel like they wanted my business. I highly recommend Sam Leman Ford if you need a car or truck!! Thank you for everything you did for me!!
I was working with Jim and Tyler they both provided excellent service on getting me a vehicle they went above and beyond i really appreciate these guys it didnt feel like an ordinary dealership it felt like i was home and they were family if your ever looking for any type of vehicle i highly recommend these guys thanks Tyler and Jim
Our experience with Sam Leman FORD was extremely excellent. And our Sales man Mark Lister was exceptional. He was straight forward and right to the point he didn't sugar coat any thing and kept us in the loop every step of the way on what they were doing . The best thing we liked about our sales man was he was Not judgmental at all he treated us like we had known each other forever. Also our Finance manager Brant was also super helpful and a very outstanding guy as well . Over all we were super pleased and our visit was successful. We were able to drive away in a Brand New 2021 Ford Explorer. . Thank yall so much . We will definitely keep doing business with you in the future and most definitely recommend your place of business to friends and family.
Jimmy G was great to deal with when we recently traded for a newer car. Wanted a telecoping / tilt wheel and got a good deal on a great car.
After deciding to sell my 10-year-old Explorer, I was in the market for a new one. Not finding what I wanted on the lot, Adam S. helped me build one from scratch that was custom ordered. He helped familiarize me with it upon receipt and has made himself available for any questions or concerns as they arise. Great customer service.
Jarod Baxter had kept in touch with me for many months when we were looking for a used truck. My needs were for a basic dually crew cab 4x4, there was nothing that fit my needs. Then I asked Jarod to price a very basic 2022. It fit. We got together and ordered the truck. Very satisfied with Jarod, Sam Leman. Feel free to contact me if more info is needed.
Mark is a very good sales Man he really took his time helping me get into my truck and making sure everything was taken care of I’m very satisfied with how fast the process was will for sure be doing more business with him !!!!
Mark was very knowledgeable and bent over backwards helping me. He knew this was my first time buying a car by myself. He got what I wanted and saved me money. I haven't named her yet but I just love my Encore. My sisters and I have already took our first little trip and looking forward to many more. Waiting for nicer weather so we can open sun roof. Thanks so much Mark!!
This has been a challenging year for anything relating to the automotive business! I first saw the truck I wanted online and decided to order one. Mark was right there and got me started in the process. Jim Z. helped me with additional info and when Mark wasn’t there. Waiting for production was tough, but months later, my truck showed up. Jim and Jarrod worked together to make sure it all happened. I got a good price for my trade, a good finance rate, and a GREAT new truck without additional markup. This is my first purchase from Sam Leman Ford, but it won’t be my last. Thanks, guys!
Awesome job by this dealership. Salesman Adam was super during AND after the sale. He went above and beyond to help us with our new car. I would highly recommend this dealership.
Jimmy helped me test drive and order a new pickup. He was informative and passed along updates regarding the timing of the delivery. Thanks Jimmy!
I drove 2.5 hours to get a truck that I found online. Jerry and the entire staff went above and beyond to make sure that I was able to make the drive home in my new truck. They jumped through all the hoops on a Friday afternoon to complete an out of state sale. The extra work was noticed and much appreciated.
We had a great experience buying from Bob…twice! He was professional, prompt, and made the transaction very easy! We are very happy with our vehicle.
This is the second vehicle we have had the opportunity to buy from Sam Leman and Bob Rowe. We appreciate their help and swift responses!
