Matt Chasteen helped me get my new 2023 Explorer. Very knowledgeable, very patient and not pushy at all. I came in not expecting to purchase but they gave me a great deal and we were able to make it happen! I recommend Matt and Sam Leman Ford highly.
Aside from the great initial purchase experience, the follow up when I had issues has been absolutely abysmal. I had traded in my old truck for a new one for my business. Adam, along with everyone else I talked to at the dealership knew this. After having some issues with my truck, it was revealed that my warranty was not valid because I was sold a non-commercial warranty. Basically, I paid nearly $3,000 for a worthless warranty. I ended up having to pay $4,600 dollars to fix the issues with my truck. After multiple conversations with title/financial people at Sam Leman about what the recourse would be -where can we go from here? I have a warranty that I paid for that I can't use. I was assured I could at least get a commercial endorsement (with no additional cost) on my existing "warranty" that would cover the truck for the remainder of the 150,000 mile warranty (I had 110,000 miles on the truck at the time). Ultimately, I got passed off onto the Manager, Josh, who, after listening to my circumstances, has done absolutely nothing. I have called many, many times to which I am "assured" he's not ignoring me, and will call me back. He never calls back. So here I am. I have a 2020 F250 that I effectively paid $7,600 for a warranty for that is worthless, my truck is not covered for any future issues, and Sam Leman Ford couldn't care less about this customer, because in their mind, I'm from out of state and they'll never see me again. The manager, Josh, is basically holding out until I eventually give up "annoying him" by hoping he'll do the right thing and rectify the mistake the personnel in his dealership made in the first place. My take away from this whole experience has been, Sam Leman Ford is happy to take your money and will forget about you after they have it.
Our salesman, Javon, was excellent. He was attentive and patient with our requests. He helped us find the right vehicle for our needs and budget. Would recommend Sam Leman Ford. Ask for Javon!
I walked in unsure about buying & walked out in love with my new Ford! Jason Codding talked me thru options & helped me get a phenomenal deal on my new Edge. The entire staff is friendly, helpful & knowledgeable. I absolutely LOVE my new Edge! Thanks Jason!
Jason Codding is a class act salesman. I would recommend him along with the finance and manager for putting a deal quickly without the games other dealerships do. Sam Leman Ford in Bloomington IL is worth the drive. Thanks!
We recently bought a new Ford Bronco from Sam Leman in Bloomington, Illinois. I give the dealer a 5-star rating. The primary reason for this rating is because of our salesman, Alphonso. He was outstanding! It was amazing how much he knew about Broncos. He was extremely helpful in helping us make our final decision. We drove a 4-door, two 2-door, four and six cylinder. He even recommended that we take one home and drive it into our garage to see how it fit. It was a delightful experience.
Alfonzo was amazing and so helpful with finding the perfect car. He listened to what I wanted and got me exactly that. I would recommend him as a sales person and this dealership. I absolutely love my Charger.
Matt was fantastic helping with my new truck. The process was easy and seamless. I would highly recommend Sam Leman Ford and ask for Matt!
I highly recommend Matthew Chasteen! He was very knowledgeable and made the car buying process smooth. He was very down to earth. I will keep Matt in mind for any future purchases!
Big Frank was extremely helpful throughout my purchase process! I drove over 100 miles to get to Sam Leman and Frank made sure my trip was worth it! I drove home in a new F150 Lariat!
My experience with this dealer has been a nightmare. In Jan 2023 I bought a 2020 Escape Hybrid with 10k miles. I was warned it was a buyback/lemon but only because they had no parts for the battery during the pandemic. I then took it in for maintenance and oil change as required but started hearing noises after TWO inspections. I then went to a Car-X that found multiple issues with brakes that should have been covered by Powertrain Warranty. When I returned car to Leman, I was told it was now undriveable and needed more than $2,000 in repairs. The service mgr does not return calls. Meanwhile Sales tells me my trade in value is $5,000 less than Kelley Blue Book because of all the repairs the car needs. My best advice: Stay away from these guys!
Our salesman, Matthew, was fantastic. He made the process of buying our new vehicle easy and seamless, as did Amy in the finance office. This was my first purchase with Sam Leman, but I will be back for my next vehicle with Matthew.
What a smooth and easy experience! Professionalism is held to a high standard at Sam Leman Ford and the team meets the bar. We drove over 80 miles to get to the dealership and from the Sales Manager Manny Bailey, the Sales Representative DeAndre Riley and the Finance Officer Amy Kiper, we couldn't ask for a better experience. The team is there to facilitate you a buying a vehicle, not pressure you into a vehicle they think you should have. If you want the best buying experience around, head to Sam Leman Ford in Bloomington. I'll be heading there for my next vehicle as well as pointing anyone looking for a vehicle in their direction. Well done team and keep up the good work. A++
The service was excellent in regard to the salesman and financing department working hard for me (didn't need to finance the vehicle, but the individual working in there was quick and personable). I was looking for a vehicle for my daughter. The only reason I am leaving a 4 star rating is due to the condition of the first vehicle I drove- it smelled musty and oil was leaking from the engine area. The second vehicle I drove was in excellent condition and appeared to have been serviced they way they should be when they are for sale at a dealership.
Gary was extremely helpful and super nice! Had our vehicle of interest ready for when we arrived.
This dealership was able to find me a great car very quickly! Tom Smith was wonderful to work with and made the purchasing process very simple and quick so I was able to start driving my new vehicle fast!
Very good service and very friendly got a awesome car they are hard workers too
We had a successful buying experience here! Tom Smith was very helpful and knowledgeable, we would purchase from here again.
Staff who I interacted with was professional, friendly and knowledgeable. Purchasing process was flawless. Audrey was a pleasure to work with and an exceptional sales associate.
I recently purchased a used truck from Sam Lemam Ford. Coming from out of state, I was not sure of the procedure but Big Frank and the rest of the staff were top notch. They answered all my questions and handled all the paperwork. I was apprehensive about traveling so far not knowing what to expect but the truck was everything and more than the description described. Everyone I met there was so friendly and helpful. I got the truck I wanted at a fair price, so glad I made the trip. Thank you Frank and the Sam Leman team Tommy L. Sympson
Awesome service and great people. I have never bought a vehicle from a dealer and I need a truck quickly for my business and had many failed attempts with other dealers across the state. As soon as I reached out to salesman Gary Lowe he was on it and communicated very well through the process. He got me all the information I needed and had the truck waiting for me when I got there. Very painless process. I was in and out in less than 45min. Gary had the paperwork ready and Amy Kiper took care of all the sales tax paperwork and extended warranty. Both great people. I highly recommend them. The next vehicle I purchase will be from this dealership and from Gary. Give them a call.
Buyer Beware... worst experience I've ever had purchasing a vehicle. Very dishonest place and when confronted they acted as if I did something wrong. Fraud is what you call it. Will never deal with them again. And the owner was behind the whole deal and was fully aware of the *hit show..
Very cool, great people. My salesman Gary Lowe was absolutely the best I’ve ever worked with! I’ll only deal with him from now on!!!
Thank you to Devin Williams for helping us purchase a 2023 Ford Escape for our daughter. We saw Devin on several occasions before we decided to buy. He was always available to talk to us, and ultimately helped us decide on our final purchase. He answered our questions and explained information in an easy-to-understand manner. Very professional, kind, and easy to work with. 5 out of 5 stars!
I purchased a pre-owned Chevy Colorado through Gary Lowe. He was very accommodating and great to work with. Tyler Snyder was very helpful with the financing. Customer service here is wonderful and I would recommend folks shop here.
